Lt Governor? who and why?

[Captain39]

I was a teacher for several years so I guess I will thank myself

Great, glad you taught yourself to read. You must have been a impressive 5 year old. Now get your facts right and maybe you can make a educated post.

I will vote Mostly Red; but Dan Patrick. He helped screw the Houston and Dallas Fireman out of half their pension. He is Not a friend of the Teachers either. Their insurance has sky rocketed and no pay raises as promised; while he tries to screw them out of their pension. He is a failed buisness man and he is not from Texas. Just cause you are a Republican does not you mean have my vote.

Dont you think the Dallas city Counsel and the union had more to do with the pension problems than Patrick?

Actually the way its set up, there is a check and balances system to make changes to their pension, which is self ran fund, not city ran, it has to go through the state to make change to it; in simple terms. So a city rep or anyone has to get a bill introduced in Austin to make changes that are not agreed up on at the local level. But many state law makers, both democrat and republican were quick to screw public servants.

I think non public servants know how you feel.

[Burnadell]

Certainly NOT Dan Patrick nor George P. Bush!!!

[Burnadell]

as far as I know there's only one choice. I honestly couldn't tell you who is running against him. Easy for me, whoever is on the right

Whoever falls under the straight ticket box gets my vote.

Red is a good color.

Dan Patrick. Incombent. Strong conservative, staunch supporter of the 2nd admendment.

Yep! Correct answer. I was in and out of voting booth in about 2 minutes. It's really easy when you primary goal is to not give this country away. Like someone else said. RED is a great color!

Dan Patrick

He ain't perfect but has done a decent job so far.

x2

Sounds like you fellas did not do your hmework on the Lt Gov. or the Land Commisioner!

The time to get rid of Republican bad actors is in the primaries.
The problem is most people don’t seem to care in the primaries to show up and vote.

McKennen. Patrick is less than honest and has screwed firemen, cops, teachers

Dallas police union endorced him just a couple weeks ago and credited him with saving their pension.

SanAntonio police and fire
Houston police
Tx municipal law enforcement

This- Patrick is a creep but we needed to bounce him in the spring.

I am a Houston Fireman & I can tell you he screwed my pension. We had the #1 rated public pension in the state according to the state report in 2017. And Mayor Turner(liberal Democrat, former state rep for 20 years) used Joan Huffman(conservation republican) & Dan Flyn(conservative republican) to submit a bill in Austin to cut my pension by 40% and it give 1.2 billion from my pension fund to help the other the other two city funds that had not managed their money correctly. Turner called it “shared sacrifice”, I call it Socialism! And Dan Patrick went right along with it. Turner is one of of the most corrupt politicians to ever serve in Texas, but Dan sure was quick to help him out.

I have to laugh at all of the public servants here complaining about their bloated pensions. Go work in the private sector where you don't have inflated salaries, unions, or public pensions. It's time to either ban public unions, or slash pensions and salaries across the board.

I'll vote against those 100% of the time, as I can see through the union rhetoric.

Teachers aren't the only people whose insurance has skyrocketed. Everyone under Obamacare has seen their insurance rates rise and benefits fall.

Mine and my wife's has went from $600.00 per month to over $1900.00. Insurance payments are higher than my house note. Try being self employed and have to deal what the Democrats have crammed down our throats. I'll never vote for a Democrat.

I'm following this one.
