Would be awesome if he won, the Governor of Texas is mostly a ceremonial role if I'm not mistaken though.

Kinky Friedman isn't too bad of a dude.

Any candidate for governor that will openly enjoy a Guinness during a public parade on St. Patrick's Day is alright with me. Everyone saw it, and he knew it, and he didn't give a fuck.

He's really, really concerned with the big issues, and not so concerned with the small ones. In other words, he plays a more honest game of politics. I love hearing him in interviews because he's articulate about the things he knows about, and inarticulate about the things he knows nothing about. And he acknowledges that. That's a level of honesty that's hard to find in a politician.

Ever hear that news clip where George Bush was asked a question about national sovereignty, and he obviously didn't even know what sovereignty meant? That's what I'm talking about....

Me and terrormachine actually had a discussion about this at work one day a while back.

[WhiteTrashSkinhead]

Damn right he is! I find myself singing that tune all the time. being an el paso citizen now. Definately has my vote.

[oldcrow]

I'd vote for that fucker.....if I was allowed.

[WhiteTrashSkinhead]

I'll probably vote for Kinky just to give the powers that be a big middle finger, although I'd rather see the Libertarian candidate win since he wants the state out of the education business. Trust me, the Legislature has totally fucked up the schools here, so that's not altogether a bad idea. My big issue w/Kinky is that he's against the death penalty......and that he's Jewish.:tongue:

And Hoon, Kinky's from the Kerrville area. His family has a ranch out there that rescues abused & neglected animals. That's defintely the most beautiful part of the state out that way.

Don't kid, yourself... He's just a puppet for the ZOG machine.

Of course he is....who isn't? I do like the fact that he would be a one term and out governor. And...he'll sign anything but bad legislation.

His plan on mexican illegals was pretty good. I hear him on Sirius all the time...funny dude.

He's also for gay marriage....he says they have as much right to be miserable as everyone else does.

Yeah...dont agree with that either, id still vote for him just to see someone besides Mr Red or Mr Blue get in office.

[Gun2Gun]

One question... Who the hell is Kinky Friedman? And why the hell is his name Kinky?

A country musician. google him, youll probably recognize him

[LeftWingScum]

oh yeah, what exactly is it? i probably haven't heard of a plan like his before.

[terrormachine]

On a side note, his salsa is pretty good. Not as good as New Canaan Farms, but still good.

[Johnny Rebel]

Read an article about him in Cannibis Culture, he's pro-medical marijuana which is refreshing to hear. If I was a Tejas resident, and was registered, I'd vote for him.

[tiger beat]

Since I can't vote, I'm doing my part to sway everyone that can :smile:

Put money into a trust fund for Mexican Generals that are placed in charge of zones...for every illegal that crosses, money is taken out of the general's trust fund. Doubt it would work though, they aren't going to risk getting hit for stopping the Cartel's smugglers.

[Johnny Rebel]

It doesn't matter how much money that is taken away from the Generals funds...over the border so many people have their hands in other illegal activity that a slight salary cut because some border jumpers are getting caught, not making that big of a difference to them, they are happy to get people out of their country...more room for them, more taxes on our part
