Rick Green Punches His Way Into SCOTX Run-Off!

Ric Green (0.00 / 0)

The really horrible thought is that Green has a real chance of winning the GOP Run-off.  The turnout will be small and he has the organized support of the "Wall" people who oppose the First Amendment.  That may be enough to carry him thru.  Plus the power of the straight ticket vote in November could well be enough to win then too.  It would take the unified voice of ALL the media as was the case with the "not the real" Don Yarbrough some years ago to defeat him.  But no one seems to be listening to the media these days.  Our Supreme Court is bad enough already. Green's being on the bench would make it a laughing stock.

Why the Supreme Court? (5.00 / 1)

I'd think Green would be a much more natural fit on the SBOE.

Why the Supreme Court? (3.00 / 1)

Rick thinks it will allow him to spend more time with the Supreme Being.

Just a Thought (3.00 / 1)

Katherine, your writing is becoming more and more Molly-esque all the time.  Please keep it up.  I say this with respect and affection.

Two thoughts: (0.00 / 0)

First, Rick Green has been endorsed by Chuck Norris:

http://rickgreen2010.com/chuck...

You probably think such endorsements mean nothing, but past gubernatorial races in California and Minnesota confirm that there are plenty of voters who find such side-show novelties very appealing.  Every time you see someone repeating the story about Rick Green punching Pat Rose in the face, remind yourself that you are just reinforcing an image that Green embraces and does not run away from because -- I assure you -- Rick Green is not too worried about people associating him with punching a young pretty-boy lawyer in the face. I suspect Rick Green gains more than one vote for every vote he might lose as a result of punching Pat Rose in the face.

Second, I know plenty of Democrats who have expressed the strong desire to punch Pat Rose in the face (because it seems like I recall that Pat was once a very close political henchman to a certain GOP speaker of the house who I will not name for fear of starting a riot). I'm not sure who is going to blame Rick Green for doing what so many people in both parties have contemplated at one time or another.

Has he been to Plano? (3.00 / 1)

I think he punched her campaign sign, because there is one Lehrmann sign in Plano where the portion of it that shows her face had been vandalized.

Please, please let Rick win the run-off (4.00 / 2)

I think we would have a fantastic opportunity to win this seat if Green is their candidate.  Jim Sharp is much more qualified for this seat.

Rick has so many ethical problems in his history, it would be fantastic to relive his greatest hits.  Pun intended.

Maybe Rick and Dick Cheney could go hunting together some time.

Dems won't like those names (and isn't that sorta the point in the GOP primary?), but that's a virtual "Who's Who" of Texas conservative true believers.

Those names will mean more to the heart and soul of the Texas GOP than anything Debra Lehrmann can offer, and if Rick Green gets the votes of the heart and soul of the GOP, he wins the primary runoff and then -- if history is a barometer -- the general election.

Frankly, I like Jim Sharp's chances if Debra Lehrmann gets the nomination (which is another reason why the GOP will choose Rick Green in the runoff).  If Lehrmann get's the nod, expect the GOP faithful to blame it on Dems who voted in our primary to boost Kay Hutchison and who then stuck around for the runoff.

Rick Green? ROTFLMAO (sort of) (0.00 / 0)

Somewhere, out in the cosmos, Charlotte Rhodes is screaming.  Charlotte, remember when we sat in your kitchen before you passed on and talked about bad pennies turning up?  Once again, we were right on target.  The possibility of Green on the Supreme Court . . . brrrr!

Isn't Rick Green a Momma's Boy? (0.00 / 0)

If he's the guy I remember, maybe his mom will tell him how to rule.

(weird, feeling very abusive today)
