Hutchison campaign outs liberal journalist

From my Tuesday post, “One more sign that the Hutchison campaign is intellectually bankrupt”:

It has taken Rick Perry eight years to recognize that we need to raise the gasoline tax, and now that he has finally done the right thing, all Hutchison can do is criticize him without offering any solution to the state’s transportation problems.

From today’s daily blast from the Hutchison campaign:

Yesterday, Texans for Kay released its latest web video – “Rick Perry’s Gas Tax Increase” – after Rick Perry told NBC-DFW that he was looking to increase gas taxes. Check out the video here. As more liberal journalists rally to Rick Perry’s cause for increasing taxes, we’ll be making sure Texans are aware of the Perry Gas Tax Increase.

    Every day I’m more disappointed in the KBH campaign:
    (1) They treat everything as a game.
    (2) They’re no good at the game.

    Paul, were you conspiring with the KBH campaign to pose as a liberal journalist to help them make Perry look bad!?

    What in the heck IS Perry doing anyway?? Seems he has gotten off message! How in the world is this going to play well with his anti-Washinton teabagger crowd?? There’s no need to go getting honest on us now! And ironically, KBH puts his “honesty” on SlickRickPerry.com. You do have to wonder what he’s up to…

    Is he tacking back to center for the general because he thinks he’s got the primary sewn up? Maybe Kay has already thrown in the towel privately and they’re working together on this?!

    Speaking of the KBH campaign being intellectually bankrupt, how about looking into her big education policy rollout that didn’t offer one new idea?

    Perry didn’t say he wanted to raise the gas tax. He said he would use the gas tax, as we do now, to pay for roads. Is KBH suggesting that she will eliminate the gas tax?

    Paul — I think she just proved your “intellectual bankruptcy” remark to be right.

    Ha, wow. I almost thought she said, “we’ll be making sure REAL Texans are aware of the Perry Gas Tax Increase.” That would have been a funny one.

    This is a setup. Once Perry is elected PResident, he’s going to appoint KBH to the Supreme Court. Right now, she’s running interference to keep others out of the race.

    Is KBH against the gas tax now, in addition to being against tolls? WTF, lady? What is this, Arkansas? We need infrastructure, not demagoguery and dilapidation.

    I wish someone would tell the RNC that I’m a liberal so they would stop sending me mail.

    be nice… it might come out after the campaign that she has dementia. If not, it will finally be realized that it does not take a whole lot of intellectual ability to be a US Senator. Can’t fake your way through a campaign of this magnitude but it looks like you can fake being a Senator.

    She doesn’t even fake it very well, witness her appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday.

    You’re taking umbrage at the liberal label or the journalist label?
