TSRA-PAC voting guide

/ hsoi

The Texas State Rifle Association Political Action Committee was supposed to publish their voter’s guide a few days ago… have yet to see it on the website, but hopefully it will appear soon.

Meantime, my issue of TSRA Sportsman just arrived. Here’s what’s relevant for my districts:

Governor – Rick Perry A+ (endorsement). Bill White – B

Lt. Governor – David Dewhurst A+ (endorsement). Linda Chavez-Thompson ?? (didn’t return questionaire and/or has no voting record; may be hostile to 2A issues).

Attorney General – Greg Abbott A+ (endorsement). Barbara Ann Radnofsky A-

Comptroller – Susan Combs A (endorsement)

Texas Land Commission – Jerry Patterson A+ (endorsement). Hector Uribe ??

Agriculture Commissioner – Todd Staples A (endorsement). Hank Gilbert A-

US House of Representatives, District 25 – Donna Campbell AQ (Q means has no voting record thus the grade is purely based upon questionnaire response). Lloyd Doggett F.

Texas Senate (SD 25) – Jeff Wentworth A+ (endorsement)

Texas House of Representatives (HD 47) – Paul Workman A (endorsement). Valinda Bolton C.

Hopefully the TSRAPAC will have the full guide up soon.

Here’s a link to the NRA PVF’s Texas voter guide.

Updated: Of course, just as I post this, TSRAPAC posts their guide. 🙂

  1. Sorry, but I’m not voting for Patrick Rose, even though they gave him an A and an endorsement. I’m still ticked about a couple years ago, when him and a bunch of them hi-tailed it to New Mexico or Oklahoma or wherever it is they ran off to, because a piece of legislature was going to pass that they didn’t like.

    I do care about a canidate’s stance of gun rights, but running away is an act of cowardice, and I refuse to vote for a coward, end of story.

    Heck, lots of people where I live still call him ‘Run Away’ Rose.

    • I admit, I don’t like “one issue” voting. I can understand why some people are that way, because many particular issues are very telling about a person’s character… but of course, one issue may not paint the full picture.

      To me, it’s one piece of the puzzle. But I do agree with Dr. Hupp about it all… that their 2A stance tells you how they view people: as free citizens or as subjects that need to be lorded over and controlled (to paraphrase her).
