Wanted Intel Texas U. S. Senator’s Motives
Dateline Marshall’s Law Townhall – Texas Drifter is asking what are Texas U.S. Republican Senator Hutchison’s motives in creating dissension in her own political party by not seeking re-election to her U.S. Senate office; and instead seeking to unseat Texas Republican Governor in potentially contentious primary campaign which could cost Texas conservative Republicans both Texas Governorship and U.S. Senate Office, and possibly many other political offices.
Being up front, Texas Drifter is no swooning fan of Texas U.S. Senator Cornyn or Texas Governor Perry as both are internationalist conservatives; while Texas Drifter is a nationalist conservative. Just side note to let readers know my interests are more curiosity than favoring one side over the other.
Back to Hutchison’s possible motives, list is generally short when evaluating motives:
1) Selfish personal or socialite vanity,
2) Selfish greed,
3) Selfish lust for more power,
4) Serving Texas anti-conservative aristocrat Republican ruling class,
5) Serving Texas conservative Republicans,
6) Serving citizens of Texas, or
7) Motive or motives not identified above.
Initial still unproven guess, motive not serving Republican Party as contentious primary campaign could cause primary “losers” to sit out election of Governor and U.S. Senate regardless of who wins: Perry or Hutchison. Neither option good for Republican Party.
Motive probably not serving citizens of Texas as election of Leninist-Obama supported Texas Governor and Texas U.S. Senator, based on Obama’s accomplishments will no doubt result in “Burn Texas Burn” state and federal policies.
Now on to Hutchison’s possible other motives; “National Journal’s 2007 Vote Ratings” show Hutchison at Liberal 24.8 and conservative 75.2. Cornyn on other hand is listed at Liberal 8.8 and conservative 91.2. Explanation of examples: “a score of 78 liberal means more liberal than 78 percent of colleagues” according to “National Journal 2007 Vote Ratings”. There are addition rating systems available so reader might do their own research.
This is the part where Texas Drifter seeks additional information to better understand Hutchison’s true motives for what seems a stranger than usual policy decision by a career politician. Answer might not seem as significant if potential consequences were not burn Texas burn.
