Will you vote for Greg Abbott?

West is a Republican, so good call!

My wife and I have talked about it but what turns us off about Governor Abbott was when he forced businesses to close, and his stay at home orders. It might have been he was trying to save lives but in many peoples opinion it was wrong and illegal. If anything he should have made it voluntary. I also think (no proof) that Abbott only rushed the recent gun laws through and the law forcing trannies to only be allowed to play sports as their birth gender to get votes.

I gotta admit...West didn't do any of those things.

Aint voting for Beto or McConaughey, jeez.

Anyone who a different Rep gov would have done things different is kidding themselves.

West says he will work strictly within the constitution, and I think he's sincere. If he's elected we'll see, but just because one group does things a certain way and they are wrong, does not mean we should accept it.

West lost my vote when he went full anti cop after his wife’s arrest.

IMO he was talking about the thugs at DPD. Can't say I blame him. People should not let police get away with unconstitutional arrests.

If he wins the primary, Yes.

Ditto. What more can be said.

If you call yourself a conservative, the race for most folks to consider is the Primary. If the (R) named incumbent can’t be beat in the Primary then the “options” become much more limited.

“Will you vote for Abbott?”
“What are my choices?”
“Yes or No.”

Did you watch the body cam? Nothing about that arrest was thuggish. Yes, she was later vindicated, but, Adam’s wife’s driving and behavior suggested she shouldn’t been behind that wheel in any case. The arrest and her subsequent victory at trial is proof the system works, not its failing.

All West had to do to walk it back was say, “look, I was emotional at the time, I realize the cops are just doing their job, but I have some issues with the way this went down which we will have our day in court.” Instead, he doubled down and did everything but straight up pull the race card.

So did Abbott, unless there something SCOTUS said he did that was Unconstitutional. Not looing good for his abortion bill at the moment though.....

He should have held the high ground and let her lawyer do the talking (cop bashing).

That's what you call a politically motivated false arrest.

I'll be voting for Allen West in the primary unless a better candidate emerges before then. IF Abbott makes the general - then I'll likely be voting for Abbott. Voting demoncrat is out of the question, and I highly doubt a third party candidate could garner enough votes in Texas to win, so voting for the third party would be taking a vote away from the republicans and essentially giving the democrats a better chance for a win.

 

[Darkpriest667]

In the primary no, I'll be voting for whoever is running against Beta in the general.

Since you say it was unconstitutional, please explain EXACTLY how her arrest was unconstitutional?

She was driving in an erratic manner, so the officer stopped her.

That's what you call a politically motivated false arrest.

And you have what proof that supports that statement, or is this simply your opinion?

 

[BillM]

Dallas is a democrat craphole, the police chief is a brain dead democrat, so is the mayor, and she had no drugs or alcohol in her body. Proof enough.

All politics require compromise. The extent of the compromise is important. Yes, there are things that Abbott has done that I disagree with, but for the most part I completely understood why he did it. Covid was a huge issue and he's had to take a lot of flak from both sides on it. Overall, I think he did a good job. He's been a big supporter of 2A rights, unborn children's rights, women athletic rights, business development, closing the border, and for the police. Yeah, I'll vote for Abbott.

 

[festering]

If we keep voting for morons like Abbott, we will never get anybody better.

Did you get forced to stay home? A lot of folks here did, and they still haven't recovered.

So we should write in?

The problem is good folks do not run. Abbott vs Lupe Valdez, Cornyn vs biker chick, etc.
