That tells me all I need to know about her. Way too quick to want to amend the constitution. Neither of those issues is worth an amendment to the constitution.
What concerns me.....Voted YES on spending international development funds on drug control. (Jul 1996)
Voted YES on increasing penalties for drug offenses. (Nov 1999)
Voted NO on spending $448B of tax cut on education & debt reduction. (Apr 2001)

I want Ann Richards back
From what I've seen, I'd vote for her. Seeing how the Dems have goat ****ed everything they've touched since '07, I would bet she has a better than average chance.
huh?
The repubs have had total control of Texas since 2002.
But Hutchinson will likely beat out Goodhair Perry, a slight improvement at best.

Actually, in Texas, it is the Republicans who have ****ed up everything for years, but that may be about to change. Hutchinson is a bit too authoritarian for my tastes (I would prefer someone more Libertarian), but she would still be much better than Rick Perry, who thinks he is Napoleon.
Agreed, but I will be voting Dem. I want to live in a blue state and take it back from the crazies.
Rick Perry actually raised taxes...or rather tolls. I figure you would agree with that..oh well.On this I agree. I will take K. over Dick Perry anyday.

I want to help to create an education system like I had."
I just read this gem from Kay Bailey Hutchinson from her announcement speach
Hmmmmmmm she went to a segregated whites only school....
Somehow I don't think that is what she meant.
No one raises taxes just to raise taxes, they raise it to get revenue.Shows how ignorant you are in terms of my point of view. You see, raising taxes just to raise taxes is stupid.

This is some of the best news I have ever heard. Perry has been a disaster, taxing just about everything that can be taxed, and also attempting to force mothers by law to vaccinate their children for HPV or face criminal charges. This was overturned by the Texas legislature.
But the best part about her running? As she stated today "I don't know what Rick Perry calls the Trans-Texas corridor, but when I take office, I will call it dead."
She has my vote in the Republican primary**. Screw that RINO Rick Perry.
** Unless Kinky Friedman runs.
