Yes, he was and it has been cited that Texas grows by about 1,000 people per day. That's a lot of people. So, we do have infrastructure needs. Also, the property owners, on the TTC, were given the option of selling or maintaining a lucrative equity in the deal. It just didn't work out. They will have to come up with another plan. Too big of a project. I was opposed to it as well.

More on Mike Pence who has endorsed Marco Rubio. Written by Rubio.

About Congressman Mike Pence: Pence was first elected to Congress in 2000. Now in his fifth term, he was elected unanimously to serve as House Republican Conference Chairman during this Congress. In this role, he helps develop and disseminate the message of the Republican Conference and promote its Members. He also continues to drive a number of legislative initiatives, including the Broadcaster Freedom Act, the Free Flow of Information Act, the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act, and the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.

During the 109th Congress, Pence served as Chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, the leading voice for advancing conservative social and economic issues in Congress. He has also emerged as a national spokesman for conservative principles. The American Conservative Union honored him in 2006 with the Courage Under Fire Award, which recognizes those who have stood for principle when doing so puts them at risk physically, politically or economically.

Pence began his career in radio broadcasting in 1992, with “The Mike Pence Show” airing weekdays on 18 stations throughout Indiana. He also hosted a Sunday morning political television show in Indianapolis from 1995-1999. He was born in Columbus, Indiana, graduated from Hanover College in 1981 and earned his J.D. from the Indiana University School of Law in 1986. Pence and his wife Karen have three children and reside in Columbus, Indiana.

Pretty selfish thinking on Medina's part, IMO. Doesn't appear to care about the state as much her personal win.

Quote:

Although she defines herself as a “career anti-abortion, rock-solid Republican,” Medina, 47, said she would not vote for either Perry or Hutchison in November if she were to lose the March 2 primary.

She will be here in Beaumont tomorrow. I have church then so I won't be able to visit with her.

I agree with you, not smart to make those kinds of comments.

Yes, it is, Esther. She turns me off the more I know about her.

Are you taking from this statement that she would not vote for either of them out of some sort of pitty party?

Digging, if she wanted to stand on her Libertarian leanings, she should have been honest enough to run on that ticket.

She knows we have two parties and she knows she wouldn't have stood a chance not coming in as a Republican. She should support her party even if she looses in the Primary. So, yes, I am saying

What is viewed as Libertarian these days used to be more akin to what Republicans stood for.

The party has lost it's way.

Well, then she is dishonest for running as a Republican.
