The Texas Democrat Party official who threatened to kill NRA President David Keene and all NRA members is an “interested party” supporting the passage of SB 346. The bill you are considering signing into law is based upon public comments submitted in writing to the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission by John Cobarruvias! To make matters [...]
Governor Perry – The Texas Democrat Party Official Who Threatened to Kill NRA Members is Behind SB 346!
TSTA Poll: Texans happy with Gov. Perry, Republican Legislature
You’ll probably recall that last week the Texas State Teachers Association issued a press release touting a poll that claims that Texans overwhelmingly support using the Rainy Day Fund to “restore” cuts in public education spending. Predictably, it was picked up by the Texas press and presented verbatim – the dean of the Texas political [...]
Harris County Republican Party remains tone deaf
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went to the monthly meeting of the Clear Lake Area Republicans last night. I knew that Harris County Republican Party Chair Jared Woodfill was scheduled to speak, along with Galveston County Chair Barbara Meeks. What I didn’t expect was to walk away more frustrated than ever that [...]
Gov. Rick Perry rocks Friendswood for Randy Weber
If you want to fire up a crowd, there isn’t a better politician in Texas than Gov. Rick Perry. I wish all of those members of the Texas political media would back away from their desks and get out and see him in action. If they did, they wouldn’t be prognosticating that his career as a [...]
Ted Cruz rallies Beaumont for Randy Weber

Mind you, I’ve never been a huge Rick Perry fan but I’ve learned that you should not underestimate his ability. I’ve been to a fair number (dozens?) of his rallies, so I [...]
A Perry Supporter’s View of “Romney v. Gingrich”
As most of you who follow Big Jolly Politics know, last summer I stated that, if Governor Perry entered the race for the Republican Presidential Nomination, I would support him. At the time I made two things clear: the reasons for my support; and that I could and would support any of the other candidates [...]
If he runs, I will support Governor Perry for the Presidency
There is nothing quite like a vacation to allow you to clear your head and look at issues and ideas from a fresh perspective. As I was finishing the first vacation in years during which I have done virtually no work and just focused on fun and family, I picked-up and read a newspaper article [...]
Rick Perry for President? Why the heck not?
Sure, that is a play on the Kinky Friedman for Governor campaign line from a few years ago. Fact is, I was one of those guys pushing Friedman’s candidacy because I was not a fan of Rick Perry. But that was then, this is now, and this country needs a dramatic change in Washington. No [...]
