Independent candidate for governor Carole Keeton Strayhorn now says she's against private school vouchers but in the past took $100,000 in campaign donations from a millionaire voucher advocate, Democrat Chris Bell said Tuesday.

Bell criticized Strayhorn for saying she opposes using taxpayer money to send children to private schools. Her comments last week were aimed at Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who favors a pilot voucher program.

"Texas needs to trust that its leaders will have the courage of their convictions," Bell said. "When she says that vouchers are off the table, well, for how long? And when will they be back?"

Will she or won't she? I say she won't. $100K is a lot of money. Well that's about twice what she's collected from trial lawyers lawyers Walter Umphrey of Beaumont and John Eddie Williams of Houston. Don't you wish those guys were throwing that kind of money at our candidates.

I don't trust her either Chris. James Leininger is someone who expects a return for his investment.

1. We need a governor who will take vouchers off the table.

If it means threatening a veto, so be it.

2. A big mess for Grandma

Shows her true colors.

Proves she'll say anything, do anything, credibility and honesty be damned.

3. Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn and her stance on vouchers.

Carole Rylander (Formerly known as candidate Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn) can't stick with either political party and can't stick to a name, what makes anyone think she will stick with her stand on vouchers?

4. She can't be trusted, period.

It runs in the family - look at her sons.
