Beautiful country. Spent some time around there when I lived in SA. (We lived about 3 miles from Helotes, off of Bandera Rd.)
I was a "Kerrvert" for a while, too.
I Have family on 281 near Bulverde. Wish I still lived up there.
-
Welcome from DFW as well! :cheersmate:
I love the Hill Country, would love to live there instead of here.

Welcome, 17Oaks. Good to have you on board!

A little North West of Austin here (lived in DFW for years though). Welcome
-
Thanks all, good to see a lot of Texans on here.
Headed to DFW to go to college and made it my base of ops for many years. Lived in Dallas and then later a little town just W of DFW airport called Colleyville. Grew up in San Antonio till about 14 or so then we moved to our ranch out in E Texas.
Been to every state in the US at least once and lived in Europe, Asia and Latin America, NO PLACE on the face of God's earth is better than Texas...
-
I think we may have a majority again! :texas:
-
I have a plea for you Texans, please keep that state from turning purple or (gulp) blue as so many Californians, New Yorkers and Illinoisans (don't know the plural :-)) move to Texas. :bash:
Too many states are having a blue tide moving in...... :mental:
Sen Cornyn is sounding like a democrat lately. :thatsright:

Heh. Just check out Julian Castro....looks like he might be a contender against Perry, should he run, for governator. Damn. :thatsright:
-
North East of Austin here. About 70 miles. About the same distance from Waco.

Heh. Just check out Julian Castro....looks like he might be a contender against Perry, should he run, for governator. Damn. :thatsright:
Here is how I call it:
I live down here and my daily paper is the San Antonio Express news: Ask if how often Julian Castro or his brothers picture is NOT in the daily paper! ALmost daily and not kidding...
Who made the opening remarkes at the DNC for Bammy...J Castro
Who has made so many trips to the WH he has his on front door key...J Castro, at last count it was 13 meeting with bammy boy himself
Bammy is going to put HIS hand picked man in the WH and you are looking at him. As for the govership here in Tx, well the elect committee was formed several months ago and I don't know if he were to lose it would hold him back, maybe a bit, but still him being Mayor is far more exp than Obama had. SA is a city of 2 M.
He is a Harvard edu Mexican, his mother was a RADICAL and if you think Obama is far left, Castro will give him a run for his money. Castro has signed on to Agenda 21.
Perry said he is going to run again but I do not think he has the mileage left in him for another successful run. If Castro gets it and I think he very well may, then he walks in the door of the WH...That is how I call it today 2 Jan 2013...may change later but I can smell the coffee brewing this...

Well then I am smelling the same coffee. I don't hear as much about Castro as you do, but I have heard enough. I am not confident that Perry can pull of another election, and I haven't a clue who would replace him.

If Perry runs again Perry wins again. If Perry steps down more than likely whoever he backs will win. For all the Perry naysayers around Texas has made to much in the way of economic progress in the last decade to reverse course now. The conservatives own the state and it will remain such for the foreseeable future.
Dewhurst burnt a few bridges in his Senate race but I don't think that would keep him from the Governorship.

I counted a river and two stop lights. It reminds me of the last time I drove to Kentucky.
Rolesville, NC was like that... one stop light, three patrol cars, and a BP station.

Exactly, Texas hasnt elected a statewide democrat in 20+ years and it's not happening anytime soon.

Well not quite 20 yrs but fast approaching that benchmark. :yahoo:

I don't think so, if Perry runs (I sat in a meeting with him and he stated he was going to run) I don't think he will win, I think Julian Castro will...The Dims BADLY want to take the gov seat in Texas....

People in hell want ice water, aint gonna happen. Perry has crushed his opponents in his elections. Castro got 34,309 votes in his last mayoral election, in a city of 1.3 MILLION people. His support is tiny, it will be zero if he takes an anti-2nd stance.

I am glad, be surprised at how many think we have nothing to worry about here in Tx. Dims got us in their sights, if they swing Tx and its electoral votes...Take Tx and Ca is in the bag and the Dems will be forever more in the WH. Whitey is in the MINORITY in TX, we are only about 45%!!

Not to mention all the libs that have transferred down here with their companies. It does cause me great concern.

"whitey" is a super majority at the polls, who cares about the mexicans who dont vote, as I pointed out Castro got 34,000 votes for mayor in a city of 1.3 million

You got a link for that number, hard to believe that less than 50,000 votes were cast.
He is a 2 time Mayor of a major US city, he won in 2011 with 82% of the votes cast.

03 = VOTER TURNOUT - TOTAL - 7.07
he cant even motivate his own city to come out and vote for him no way he can become an extremely liberal governor in an extremely conservative state.

Thanks, interesting set of numbers, I take the San Antonio Express News which is the big paper. I bet I can count the number of days a month that his pic is not displayed somewhere in the paper...he is a feature near 7 days a week.
You would think by the articles that he is the second coming of Obama, he too has written a book about his life and like Obama it should be on the fiction shelf...
At least this gives me a ray of light of hope that they guy cannot win the gov seat...

Get involved, really need some true conservatives there. Too many are thinking the GOP needs to go liberal to attract more minorities. Talked with a woman today who is convinced we need to go to the inner cities to recruit new members...I asked her how we can ever out liberal the liberals, what are we going to do, offer them free cars, let them spin a cash wheel. Libs have given them cradle to grave welfare and free medical, we cannot top that and have no business trying to do so...

I stopped being active years ago because the party in my area are mostly RINO's. Conservatives were not welcome.
Ironic when you think how the party calls itself "Conservative". :hammer:

From God's mouth to your keyboard.
God made Texas might near perfect but gave us skeeters, gators, rattlesnakes, liberal Democrats and liberal Republicans, ( all still rattlesnakes ) so we wouldn't think we was already in Heaven. Shooterman- 1935

Hear, hear! It has the Pedernales River, or Paidnallies as LBJ use to call it. 'Course he always talked like he had a mouthful of round river rocks. Probably helped when he became President.

Yes sir and a big block of them live in Austin and Houston. We have more than our fair share in the Golden Triangle. That is one reason I sweated blood over Nicky Lampson taking the new Fourteenth last election.

It hasn't been that many moons ago those conservatives were all Democrats. Those that admitted to being Republicans ran the chance of being run out of town on a rail. Maybe half a dozen or so of us voted for Goldwater, and that may be generous. :-) Not only were they Democrats, but Jeffersonian and Jacksonian Democrats. Far too many still remembered the War of Northern Aggression and Reconstruction. George W Bush came to the governorship simply because Ma Richardson( who was said to like things hot and throbbing between her legs, she rode a Harley ) vetoed a concealed carry law.
