Harriet Miers ran the Texas Lottery Commission. So, we know her views on gambling, at least. I don't care about her views on abortion. That is one case that gets throw up to cover up all of the other things going on at every turn. As our personal rights and protections are getting chipped away, as a woman, and a Texan, and an American, I am sick of hearing about Roe vs. Wade. The bird flu and possible military threat in my neighborhood, the war (if we can call it that), the lack of Social Security, the rising gas, food, and energy prices, Government indictments...need I go on? (Read entire entry.)
And now, a woman who's never been a judge? But, she sure did run a great Lottery Commission. (Which as I recall, did have a bit of trouble, a time or two.) What happened to the education dollars that were supposed to come from the lottery, but came from my property taxes instead? AND, the last session, our Texas government discussed a law on lewd cheerleading dancing (look it up), instead of school finance!!!!
Right now, I believe we should have no more politicians from Texas. (And I live here!) We will be screwed for the next 30 years or more.
