Gubernational Debate

Friday, October 4, four of the five candidates for Texas Governor debated for the first and only time. James Werner, Libertarin Candidate wasn't invited. Republican Incumbent Rick Perry, Democratic Candidate Chris Bell and Independents Richard Friedman and Carole Strayhorn attacked each others views on toll roads, education, taxes and immigration.
Our Democratic Candidate Chris Bell came on strong, his attacks on Strayhorn and Perry were detailed facts and were denied by both. Bell focused on education and the necessity for a better education system while slamming Perry's "our education system is fine" statement.
Indenpendent Friedman made a joke, literally, out of politics and our government. He first described politics "Poli means more than one. Ticks are blood sucking parasites." Friedman also made a statement that he is a "realist" and it is ok to make racists statments while in politics.
Independent Strayhorn was attacked repeatedly for changing parties and positions on a daily basis. She also had to defend why she has taken over $1 million from companies who wanted tax breaks from her agency. But again she denied the allegations.
Perry defended his 'crooked' education system, Trans-Texas Corridor plans, tax cuts and immigration plans which were all lies. They were finely defined by Strayhorn when she attacked Perry but forgot to put her name on the creditors list.
In the end, if anyone, in this great state, watched the debate between the candidates, the best choice for our next Texas Governor will be CHRIS BELL.
