Janet Napolitano enters Texas Governors race


Texas Democrats gleefully cheered Bill White’s assertation that Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano was listening to his requests for assistance on the Texas border.  Mr. White (leader of Houston’s sanctuary city policy for illigal immigrants), further suggested that Janet Napolitano said that she has not spoken on the issue with Governor Perry “in months” and that she would also say the same thing to Perry if he ever contacted her!

Very interesting, that the Department of Homeland Security is entering partisan politics on the side of the Democratic Party in Texas.

Problem for Bill White:  Spokesman for Governor Perry, released several copies of three contacts made in 2009 (requesting more troops for the border), and two this year (asking for preditor drones).  DHS tried to walk back its suggestion that she gave different answers to Bill White…

…but the question remains, why is Secretary Napolitano speaking to a “private citizen” about sensitive border issues in Texas?  Could anyone call the Homeland Security Secretary, or is that reserved for Democratic candidates for public office?  Interesting?  We should know the answers on who the federal government is supporting for partisan political office.

Houston mayor drops Bill White (D-TX) in grease over spending during tenure.


Bill White has been on “offense” against Rick Perry (R-TX) all week, in the governor’s race. So far Bill White has:
- Refused to rule out tax increases on Texans in a national recession.
-Stated he will not release his tax and income information, during tenure as mayor.
-Called reduced state programs to balance the state revenues, “Soviet style” budgeting.

And tonight on the Houston metro news was on Houston’s city budget shortfalls and Mayor Annise Parker, said quote “For years now, we have spent more money than we have taken in. You can’t spend more than you earn. It is very unbuisnesslike approach to running things”.

Thank you, Rick Perry must be very pleased with Bill White’s preformance so far. Mayor Parker just affirmed what Governor Perry has been saying about Bill White’s poor fiscal discipline of Houston, during his tenure.


Bill White Opposses Transparent Texas Gov. Race, wont match Gov. Rick Perry’s financial disclosure


Already its started, with Bill White (D) refusing to disclose his income tax returns.

Bill White thinks saying “I’m a partner, we’re, other people are partners in those businesses, and those tax returns are proprietary” will suffice?  White even calls the Houston Chronicle

Gov. Perry has released all of his information since he first ran for statewide office, going back to 1990, and so has Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

He does sound like Elmer Fudd, trying to explain why every other candidate releases their “proprietary” information, but he wont.  Interesting?

Palin rally with Gov. Perry (R-TX)


Just drove-by the early crowds at the Berry Center, in Cypress (suburb of Houston) and the crowd wrapped around the place.

Its amazing to see all the people lining up to see Palin, I am sure after the speech last night the crowds will swell.  Expecting 15,000 people, and that would be overflow at the Berry Center.  NW and west Houston will be very important to the March Primary, not to mention that Suburban Houston will be the epicenter (along with Dallas County) in the battle in November for Texas Governor.


Tx Gov.’s race


Texas GOP released a new web ad on Bill White’s entry into the Governor’s race.

Bill White will try to pretend to be a buisness friend, pro-growth, candidate, but it will be difficult for him to try to identify himself as none other than a liberal.  He does come across as a moderate, but his positions for gay marriage, against tort reform in Texas, for government control of health care and anti-second admendment will be interesting for him to overcome.

I just cant wait for the Perry/Hutchinson primary to be other with, we need to save the cash, to go after Bill White now, before he redefines himself.  Perry hopefully will come out positive, but at least this shows the Texas Republican Party will show Bill White what he is, before the long-drawn-out primary is concluded.


Palin signed copy of “Going Rogue”


Yes, I cannot wait till it arrives.  For just a little $100 and helping the Republican Governors Association in 2010.  They could have charged me more…

NJ and the RNC


I know everyone is down on the RNC, but I will tell you, I have made phone calls thru the RNC website to NJ voters all day.  This is the first time I have been involved in calling voters (or walking neighborhoods), it was fun.  Most contacts were good numbers and voters seemed receptive.  Just wanted to give out something positive “the party” has done for candidates.


New Jersey


Anyone know how we can make phone calls for GOTV from home, for the NJ Gov race?  I know we can for Virginia, but we have got to push Corzine outa-the-way.  Thanks.


Linda McMahon candidate for Senate in CT


Linda McMahon is already airing ads against Chris Dodd, she has a new one out with Pres. Obama doing a fundraiser for Dodd in CT today.  I have seen some of the Republican candidates in CT, and seems like she has been agressive and spending some money early, with Dodd down in the polls.  Intersting take, like her so far, intersting background…the future may tell us she will be the only Senator to have ever dropped kicked someone on camera.
