40. hell yeah, buddy
I was talking to a retarded young man in San Antonio who said he had turned eighteen and was going to register to vote. I asked him if he was a Democrat. He said he didn't know what that was, but he did know he couldn't wait to vote for George Bush.

The Dems got the shit beat out of them and they haven't picked themselves up off the floor yet. They might never.

Most working people hate George Bush but will not say so in public because they are afraid IMO. They'd get shouted down in at work, at school, in the store, where ever.

In the last primary, the Dems did not even have the bodies to man the polls. The pukes made a mockery of the election and I know of too many outrages to list here, but most involved illegal poll activity, unopened polls, unmanned polls, polls outside people's communities, or counties; some dozens of miles away, deliberate misinformation from election officials about poll locations. In some cases people went to the neighborhood school or church where they had voted for years only to learn the polling place had moved some distance away. Some polling locations where not clearly marked for the public as required by the law. Some did not designate parking, or blocked ingress and egress.

Tom Delay gave a bunch of money to a Laredo carpet bagger named Cuellar who ran hard against a lazy Dem empty suit named Ciro Rodriguez who only won by 154 votes. He and Charlie Gonzales are weak ineffectual figures in safe districts, which makes me all the madder, because they should be shouting holy hell over the suffering of their poor constiuents, who have taken it up the po-po under their watch. Charlie's dad is spinning in his grave.

I've heard stories from the Valley about Henry Bonilla's puke thug brigades night-riding the colonias and telling families that if they don't vote for pukes they will lose their jobs, or be beaten, or worse.

Texas Dems are whipped, and what is most tragic is that this great state is not naturally pukey. We could win in Texas with new leadership that have the guts and determination to fight.
