You vote for someone else in the Primary (I'm totally on board with that, get their attention) but when it comes to the general election you have to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of the two evils. You should know by now that if you don't place your vote they will place it for you and if you step out in front of a truck Beto nets two votes, the one you didn't place for Abbott and the one you placed for Beto from the grave.

I doubt we are really shooting our way out of this mess for that we would need a few leaders and they haven't shown up yet.
I understand your point, but it's flawed and it's why we are heading down this path. I was guilty of doing just this. Not anymore. For a man to believe what you do, he has to believe that the Republican party is the saving grace. I know they are not.

For the last time, Abbott directly attacked me, my family, my friends, and my livelihood. It is UNFORGIVABLE. If I vote for this man I could not ever look at myself in the mirror again.
 
Once again, your reading comprehension is lacking. The first article you posted has Kemp saying the government has no place mandating masks, but encouraging mask wearing by the individual. Note this article is from June/July of 2020, when mask were mandated in Texas. I know because I was stuck in Houston for three months, with Houston police patrolling the hotel enforcing mask wearing. The second thing you posted refers to a bill that encourages masks, not mandates. The third you posted reiterates the first. There was no state mandate to wear a mask, only local powers to enact requirements, as it should be.
As to the election fraud, whatever…..🙄
 
I am voting for Abbott because neither West nor Beto are options for me. I hate the "lesser of two evils" but Abbott is much better than the other two, regardless of what the assholes might say.
:) I was hoping the other debator would chime in for whom Texans are supposed to vote. ;).

It'd be a cold day in HE Double Toothpicks before I voted for West, having known his record in FL and that I know somebody who "associates(ed?) with him" and calls him a "good friend." Because if he's a good friend of who I am thinking, about his ethics and morals are not the same as mine (nor I dare say many of you on this board).

For someone that doesn't care you sure made it personal when I said I won't support Abbott, but yet didn't take it personal when this man lied to your face, hid critical information from public consumption, closed schools, masked children, pushed the deadly vax on Texans, closed businesses, and asked mayors to violate what few property rights left by mandating masks through city ordinance against businesses, and helped scare people into not seeking medical treatment by inflating and falsifying covid numbers and hospitalization rates which surely killed many. You should have taken that stuff personal and not my one little comment.
I did not take your comment personally, that is where you are wrong. I agree with the reasons why you don't like Abbott BUT I know that not voting in the election is just the same as voting for Beto. You don't see it that way so we have to agree to disagree at this point.

I wish there was a stronger third option than Abbott or Beto but their isn't.

I don't like politicians that move to a new state to jump start their career so West was not an option for me anyway.

Again, you are a fucking hypocritical clown. Abbott and Kemp followed very similar path on mask with the differences being miniscule. By your very own logic you should be voting for Abrams but you aren't willing to shit where YOU eat but are more than happy for people to do that elsewhere. Go fuck yourself.

I hate the "lesser of two evils" as much as the next guy BUT at some point we have to be a little smarter than digging in a refusing to do anything. The system is headed for collapse as it is and I had rather it collapse elsewhere first.
I don't disagree and am guilty of it myself...but until we've collectively had enough we will continue to enjoy what we have......corruption and complaint. The enemy has no problem forcing their agenda at ANY cost. Until we stop taking the moral high road...operating within the rigged system....we will look forward to this version of groundhog day.
 
!Orale caballeros! Any a y’all that can help spread the gospel of 2A and the love of John Moses Browning in “jawja”.. it’s a worthy cause and you’ll be compensated for yr time..

You are correct but the solution is more complex than simply not voting for the candidates. The only way this will change is when the entire system is torn down and rebuilt. As @wade2big has said many times, there is little to no difference between the two parties anymore.
 
Such bullshit that instead of selling those uppers and other surplus gear thru the CMP.. it’s all given to our fckn enemies! Don’t even get me started on the piles of cash! If they’re gonna give it away.. why THE FUCK is it not given to American citizens??!! That’s the least they could do.
All this money that’s going to Ukraine also.. it should be going back to taxpayers
 
I’ll tell ya. I’m voting for Kemp. He has brought thousands of new manufacturing and technology jobs to my state. He was one of the first governors to go against DC and lift the lock downs and mask mandates. He just pushed constitutional carry through. His only fault that I am aware of is he didn’t fight hard enough against the Sec State to investigate election fraud. He did, however, push through a voting security bill against an ocean of resistance from the left.
Unlike some myrmidons on here, I can articulate my position…
I'm voting kemp too, despite the fact that he's a coward that didn't want to call out the fraudulent election we had because he was responsible for putting much of it in place as sec of state. I hate kemp so much I voted for the worthless sack of shit Perdue in the primary. Carr is probably not getting my vote and I'd rather slam my junk in the truck door that vote for that motherfucer raphensberger or however you spell that faggots name.

How our mighty state has fallen..
although I’m glad to see Mr Herschel is likely to win. And MTG probably has more balls than any of em

But you are going to continue doing the same thing?
Continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Isn't that the definition of insanity?
And that saying, if you don't vote for shitbird it's a vote for dickhead is utter bullshit. It's nothing more than a republicant tool to get your vote. You know those mega rich fuckers that beg for your money so they can pilfer more of your money.
 
Go Fuck Yourself!
We need to make sure these fuckers have been eaten by bugs by 2030!
Time to turn the tables!
It’s an interesting article. It’s not just gas powered cars that will be denied but electric too if they get their way. They have known all along that current technology and infrastructure cannot support what oil can. Going green has never been the goal. Reducing everyone to serfdom, however, is the plan. Communism repackaged poorly. The renting of cell phones is ominous. As much as they want to use cell phones to track virus outbreaks, use for purchases etc it would seem that a denial of rental would be the equivalent of being ostracized to outcast status.
 
I voted Gary black in the primary. I like Trump, but I'm not stupid nor do I think voting in ~80iq blacks is a good idea. 🤷‍♂️
Lol 😂 he does seem to have taken a bit too many hits to the head and wasn’t working with much to start with.. bet that brain is smooth as silk by now. And taking on MMA at over 45 years wasn’t the brightest of ideas(even though he kicked ass!).
But he’s better than fuckhead Warnock any day of the week + 2x on Sunday, and his values seem to be in the right place.
 
I just want to know who you Texans are supposed to vote for? That's all. Thanks, I'm sure I speak for a lot of folks...who are the folks on the "approved for Gov of TX list?"

Thanks.
Well it's certainly not Bobby Francis, the wanna be Mexican. I actually wish Louie Gomert would run.

I am going to vote for the candidate that most closely fits my ideology until things change. Pure and simple. This is a long game that the Democrats have beaten the shit out of Republicans at for around the past 60 years. Based on the discussions from today it is very easy to see how the Democrats have been playing chess and Republicans are playing checkers.

You go vote or don't vote for whomever you want because I could not care less. I have my plan and will be sticking to it until I have a good reason to change.
