You're welcome.
I am a fan of 660 as well.
I am unimpressed w/ Dewhurst even more after this mornings interview. What to do, what to do.
Dewhurst is in trouble. These attacks against Patrick humanize Patrick and dont make Dewhurst look strong.
Ill be voting for Dan Patrick.
Same here, but not so much because Patrick deserves it as because Dewhurst doesn't.
FWIW, it's my opinion that he took Dewhurst to task over the Patrick ads (suicide attempt and charity auction).So for those of us who missed it, how about a recap? Did Mark really go after him or did he just lob some softballs?
In a Patrick ad on TV last night he said as LG he would lower property taxes. Sounds great, right? But how does a LG do that since my property taxes go to my county, city and local schools? Great choice we have between liars.Dewhursts' stammering made it sound like he was lying every time he talked. Again, IMHO.

In the ad he said "I will lower property taxes." He didn't say he would work to lower property taxes or tax rates, or slow the rate of property tax increases. To me, what he said was a lie.The Legislature can and does impose caps on the rate and limits on the annual increases that cities, counties and school districts can collect. Now, a Lt. Governor cannot unilaterally impose these - obviously he needs the Legislature to vote for it and the Governor to sign it and all of the politics that goes along with that - so that that promise with a grain of salt, but yes, there are some things he/they can do.

Yes, I understood that. But still, a choice between 2 liars - great theater, but I am sick of it.I'm just saying that the Legislature does have some theoretical power over property taxes, that's all.

To each his own - I prefer an honest "I will try", or even better "I will work to", over an obvious sleazy lie said simply to suck in uninformed voters.What sounds better, "I will" or "I'll try"? While most campaign promises are fluff, I'll take an "I will" over silence or "I won't". All to be taken with a grain of salt. Keep them to their promises though. Keep the pressure on them to do what you want.

I don't know that there is a politician that I believe and or trust. As much as I like Ted Cruz, at the end of the day he is a politician, and politicians serve themselves, each other, and their business interests. This is painful for me to realize and say, because I have never been more politically active in my life. I am just trying to stay involved until the bitter end.Great choice we have between liars.
Cruz supports Mansanto and his wife is a big wheel for goldman sachs...
