Ma'am, Rick Perry was the governor when your husband died in the line of duty. If he didn't protect the border then, how's he going to do it in the future?

I've heard that ad on the radio. Perry and White have completely different positions when it comes to border security. Perry wants the deployment of the National Guard, border fence, more border patrol, etc while White wants more local Sheriffs deputies on patrol in the border counties. I don't know if White really is an advocate for sanctuary cities, but at the same time I don't know why Perry hasn't proposed anything banning sanctuary cities in TX in the last ten years either.

You are on my shit list, Pat Toomey. You called me (or rather your automated crap called me) at 8 o'freaking clock in the morning. This is unacceptable. I don't care what you stand for, your dumb ass just lost my vote.

One of the races around here has a candidate doing an ad with a James Bond theme (calling his opponent Dr. No). It's just getting silly at this point.

Admit it, it's really because you saw the ad that said "Pat Toomey created thousands of jobs... in CHINA! <insert gong sound here>"

This is the biggest thing that bugs me about any politician, Democrat or Republican. They run for re-election saying "I'm going to...", "I want to...", and I always want to meet them and say "Why haven't you...?" Perry's been governor already for 6,7? years, c'mon Governor Goodhair (RIP Molly Ivins), why haven't you?
