Please (!) help unfreep this poll on the Texas Governor's race

[Czolgosz]

Please unfreep this poll by voting for Democrat Chris Bell: <http://www.mysanantonio.com/>

Democrat Chris Bell is the only candidate who supports our beliefs and values in a field that includes one out-of-the-closet Republican and two Republicans running as "Independents." But more important that party affiliation, Democrat Chris Bell is the only candidate who stands up for our beliefs and values while Perry, Strayhorn, and Kinky have each failed to support the issues, candidates, and causes which matter most to us. Here's my list (I stopped with 10 issues because there were so many):

1. Bell is the only candidate who didn't vote for Bush/Cheney,

2. Bell is the only candidate who supports raising the minimum wage,

3. Bell is the only candidate who hasn't flip-flopped with regard to his political party,

4. Bell is the only candidate who hasn't been a cheerleader for Bush's Iraq foreign policy debacle,

5. Bell is the only candidate who did anything to bring down the DeLay empire of corruption,

6. Bell is the only candidate who would stop the practice where Texas actively misinforms women about their reproductive health,

7. Bell is the only candidate who has endorsed and voted for other Democrats over the past decade,

8. Bell is the only candidate who favors raising teacher pay $6,000 to bring Texas teacher pay up to the national average,

9. Bell is the only candidate who respects the First Amendment's separation of church and state, and

10. Bell is the only candidate who has successfully fought lobbyist abuses and the improper influence of undocumented political action committee money on public policy.

3. Yes n/t

[Janice325]

4. Wow! You're fast, LA lady!

Isn't she a "former" Rethug, now running as an Independent?

[LA lady]

6. Yes, that too!

She "sort of" renounced the repubs

[Czolgosz]

8. There is nothing "former" about Strayhorn's Republican status - she's

running as an Independent even while identifying herself as a Republican. There is more at the Lone Star Project: <http://www.lonestarproject.net/archive/2006voteproject.html>

[girl gone mad]

21. She was also a Dem. at one time.

That's why she's known as Carol 4 names, 3 parties, or C4n3p for short.

[StellaBlue]

18. Yeah, g*ddamned Kinky and Fournames

If either one of 'em wasn't in it, Bell would have a chance to win by default, since there is no run-off and it's just whoever gets the most votes, no majority needed. It'll be another case of someone getting to be governor even though the MAJORITY voted AGAINST them.

Proportional representation and instant run-offs NOW!!!

Who would YOU trust?
