Elena Kagan’s Political Leanings
Most people don’t who in the world Obama nominated for the Supreme Court! Most folks haven’t put it together that she was Dean of Law at Harvard University where she expelled military recruiters and ROTC from campus. Starting to come back? Here is a short clip of the craziness about to unfold during the hearing process.
She, “look[s] forward to the time when a more leftist left comes to the fore.” If that didn’t scare you get a load of this clip!

KBH on Pork
In 2009 KBH defended earmarks. After pledgeing to combat wasteful spending in Washington KBH now spends one in every 12 dollars of pork barrel spending!!! My pocketbook and the state of Texas can’t afford that kind of leadership!
Blogosphere chatter favors Perry
The North Texas Conservative illustrates with their chart that chatter in the blogosphere favors Rick Perry over Kay Bailey. She did have a slight up take the week of her announcement tour, which might also have been due to the splash by Perry with the Kay “Bailout” Bucks.
Rick Perry Visits Lubbock!
When Governor Perry stopped in Lubbock he was greeted by over 200 proud Texans who share his vision for Texas!
Breaking News: Texas US Senate Seat
Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams announces his candidacy for KBH US Senate seat!!
Dear Friend,
With much encouragement from my fellow Texans, with the support of my wife Donna, and with firm resolve to make the America of tomorrow more prosperous and free than the nation we know today, I am announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate.
We are at a critical juncture in time, and the likelihood of a special election to replace Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison provides an historic opportunity for Texans to rekindle our can-do spirit and offer forward-looking solutions to the great challenges posed by an economic crisis, record debt, two simultaneous wars, and our dependence on foreign energy.
I have served at every level of government: in three cabinet departments under two presidential administrations, as an elected member of the Texas Railroad Commission and as a local prosecutor in the Midland County District Attorneys office. I know the honor of public service is not holding an office, but preserving the public trust.
If elected, I will address these issues that demand national and international leadership:
- Economy: we need a long-term prosperity agenda starting with a tax code that rewards work, encourages saving, investment and entrepreneurship; incentives for innovation, research and development yielding to solutions for more and higher-valued jobs, steadier wages and stronger retirements.
- Energy and Environment: we need to develop pro-growth energy and environment solutions for greater energy security that will produce more American energy, accelerate the use of alternative energy technologies and promote greater energy efficiency and conservation.
- Education: we need to rekindle a love of learning in America’s classrooms, specifically a renewed focus on math, science, engineering and technology.
- National Security: we need to ensure safer communities and neighborhoods by enforcing our laws, protecting our borders and making sure our military continues to be the strongest in the world to defend America and defeat our enemies.
- Health care: we need transformational health solutions and policies that create better health care, more choices at affordable costs.
I am uniquely experienced to address these great challenges. Having served in the U.S. Departments of Education, Justice and Treasury, I know we can do so much more to unleash the power of innovation and job creation and to make education and opportunity accessible to all. And as an elected leader in the energy industry, I know we can increase exploration at home, invest in cleaner sources of energy, and protect the environment for future generations.
We can have economic prosperity and cleaner air and water. We can have financial security without our elected officials compromising their conservative principles. We can have an efficient, effective government that controls spending and lives within its means. We can have government accountable to the people.
This campaign is not about me. It’s about you. As a candidate, I hope not to be the focal point, but the mirror that reflects the hopes, dreams and concerns of every Texan.
In traveling to every corner of this state, I have listened to a great many Texans. I have heard the calls for a new voice in Washington who can bring about change and reform to a culture that desperately needs it. And I know the change Texans seek is not a blank check for Congress, but a voice of reason when it comes to your money. With your help, we can be that new voice and create a Texas with greater liberty and prosperity. We can generate a sense of optimism in all communities and neighborhoods across the state.
To me change is not just a slogan, it is a lifelong calling. Thousands of Texans have called upon me to take this step—to offer myself up in service to change the way Washington works. I take this step neither lightly nor flippantly, but with full faith in the possibilities of a new tomorrow, and undying devotion to the greatest people on the face of the earth—the people of Texas.
I ask for your prayers, your continued friendship and your full support. I look forward to seeing you on the trail.
Michael Williams
ELECTION DAY!!!!!

” You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Hello my fellow freedom loving Americans!! The day is finally here, election day 2008. I am in Clovis, NM helping to get out the vote (GOTV). I will be writing about updates here in NM. Please feel free to comment below about other areas of the country! Lines, problems, issues, results lets share the knowldge of what is happening at the ground level.
BBB- ($700) Billion Bailout Bill!
It is a sad day for America. This is one time in my life that I am ashamed to be from Texas. For anyone who knows me they might think that is impossible. So why do I feel betrayed by my elected leaders? The approval by the United States Senate, including Texas Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison, and John Cornyn, of the 700 BILLION dollar TAX PAYER paid bailout. The final vote, 74 to 25, passed this piece of socialist legislation to the House.
As Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., a leading conservative, said the step is “leading us into the pit of socialism.” I hate to admit that Sen DeMint is correct.
This bill started out at 3 pages and increased to 450 pages. That what government does – it adds and takes instead of working the problem.
As a Rush Limbaugh listener said, “We have a crisis of confidence in government but not in the market.”
America THIS is your opportunity to make the difference! In the House of Representative the last vote was 205 for and 228 against. Only 12 TWELVE 12! votes are needed to pass this bill through Congress. Stand up for what you believe in! Contact your congressman! Take two minutes to email them or give them a call to vote NO on the $700 Billion Bailout Bill!
This is not over as Ronald Reagan said, “We fought, we dreamed and the dream is still with us.” The possibility of a keeping this country great is still alive. America needs your help!

“The additional 341 pages in the Senate version have nothing to do with the bailout per se, but instead are an energy bill and a tax bill. In short, the Senate version is the same as the failed House version, but with the addition of (1) the irrelevant FDIC provision, and (2) other unrelated legislation. And the House version was just a 110-page expansion of the Paulson’s original two-and-a-half page proposal that had lots of extra window-dressing, but little in the way of new substantive provisions that are actually mandatory, enforceable, and monitorable. This means that the Senate version of the bailout bill has the same flaws as the original Paulson bill.” – Economic Populist
