Texas Land Commission Suing Denton, TX; Residence Voted Band on Fracking. Bush, New Commissioner

George P. Bush aware of law suites across America, took the Oath of Office a few days ago. Wonder how many Denton Texas residents voted for him and other Republicans? Many cities around America have bands, including the cities of Dallas, Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine and many others.

Denton Texas paragraph about fracking is about mid way down in the article.

It is an interesting question, how many in the area voted for Bush. Thanks for going against the wishes of the people living in the area. There will be more of this to come, Austin is full of crap shooters like this now.

I'm sorry if y'all think I am being picky, but I have this thing about posts here looking like they came off of a sign at a Tea Party Rally.

Residence voted band on fracking? Really?

There is absolutely no Tea Party affiliation in any of my bones even though there could be radiation in the water.

Really; residence does equal residents in this OP. Look for both words! To me, it is an oxymoron.

are residents of that fair city because they have taken up residence there.

Fracking was banned there by vote of these residents.

As far as I am concerned, a, "Voter Trust Issue", means nothing to Republicans. And in my opinion, you certainly cannot trust another Bush.

Please see Reply #1; about a crap shoot (to vote for a lying Republican). That goes for Jeb too.
