Matthew McConaughey Making Calls
As He Considers Texas Governor Run

Original Article

Matthew McConaughey may not be acting when he says he’s interested in a run for Texas governor. The Oscar-winning star of “Dallas Buyers Club” has been making calls to a club of elite politically-connected Texans to talk about getting into the 2022 gubernatorial race, Politico reported Sunday, citing sources. McConaughey has been talking to “deep-pocketed” moderate Republicans and business leaders in the Lone Star State to gauge their support.

Comments:

I know nothing about his personal social/political, viewpoints. If he's a 'conservative' in Texas, he has a legitimate chance. If he's one of those 'leftist/Marxist pro-abortion, Democrat types ... forget it.

I posted this yesterday, but it was removed. My point from then still stands; he seems like a nice guy, but like all celebrities that flirt with political office, he has yet to state where he stands on today's issues. Anyone can look like good candidate, but you will eventually have to tell the voting public your views and opinions. That's when you lose half of your support.

Sorry, Matt, the "deep-pocketed moderate Republican" segment is Abbott's territory.

Seems like a nice guy, but this goes to prove a point that a lot of elections are merely popularity contests.

Republican party needs to rid itself of the Marxist Communist democrat comrades GOPe republicrats in the party, not elect more. 98% of the entertainment industry people are Marxist Communist Globalists dedicated to fundamentally change America into Satan worshiping anti-christs, and if they aren't they are blacklisted by the entertainment industry Marxist Communist democrats, republicrats GOPe who control the industry most of America's federal government.

Matt is all cool and groovy with a hot wife and cute kids but what does he really think about policy stuff? It is easy to be for someone when they are able to spout wise platitudes that sound great but mean nothing when you don't have to make actual policy decisions that effect everyone. When you actually pin McConaughey down on his policy views, you find he does not have any. He will need to actually commit to something. He might not be so popular if he says what he really thinks about some things. Whatever he commits to, he will alienate at least 1/2 of his supporters.

Abbott has his problems...and the rumor going around is McConaughey will run as an independent in the General election. Doing so saves campaign funds, and splits the vote three ways, opening the door to a potential win. Running as a Democrat ala Beto is poison, and it is unlikely he'd unseat Abbott in a primary. Don't sell this short. (Moderate Republicans is code for Bush Family and Friends.)

He seems to be a conservative because he acts like he has conservative Texas 'cowboy' in him and has the patter down, however I think he's acting...he's an actor - and he makes conservative noises, but I have heard and read about him aligning with liberals. So he's unreliable. If we supported him I believe we would be fooled and would regret it. After all, this is Texas we're talking about and that's too important a state to be messing around with. And the person who posted that he has 'one eye on the mirror', ain't that the truth! Don't be seduced.

I think that the best that can be expected of McConaughey is that he would be a Romney republican. Abbott is not perfect but he ain't no Romney and he doesn't have an inner socialist trying to get out.

'“And I’m looking into now, what is my leadership role?” McConaughey said. “Because I do think I have some things to teach and share."' Yes, I'm sure you think you do. But it seems the vast majority of your colleagues feel exactly the same about themselves and they generally end up making fools of themselves when they're called upon to demonstrate same. Maybe you're different, but probably not. The Ronald Reagans are few and far between. In fact, there's been only one.

Re: Abbott running again. He won't. He's in his second term. Texas governors are limited to 2 terms. The Lt. Gov. is the one with the power. I dont know if Dan Patrick will run for Governor, but he's turned into a moderate Republican as well. That's the incumbent that the actor will have to run against. Matthew has too much flash. He's a fun actor to watch but I dont trust him any more than a naked man playing bongos...whooops....

IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told reporters Monday that it had assassinated Hussam Abu Harbeed, who commanded Islamic Jihad’s northern Gaza brigade and led attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians for almost 15 years.

The bill was approved following a debate but needs one additional vote in the House to move on to the Texas Senate. According to Rep.

The Biden administration was slapped with a lawsuit on Friday after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched a suit countering changes to the state’s federally funded portion of Medicaid last month. In April, the administration rescinded a Trump-era eight-year extension to provide billions of dollars in federal funds annually for Texas’ uninsured residents, which was set to expire next year. While the move does not revoke healthcare funding through 2022, Paxton called it an "unlawful abuse of power aimed at sovereign states." "The Biden Administration cannot simply breach a contract and topple Texas’s Medicaid system without warning," he said in a Friday statement.
