| 95. You mean too rabid... |
|
Texas Republicans are not conservative. They are rabid. They have hijacked the state legislature and most of the state "oversight" committees, taken control of the appellate courts which now rule on the basis of agenda rather than law, and even some Republicans no longer trust the Republicans they elected but in the end will probably wave their flags in November and vote a straight Republican ticket. Even though some will hold their noses while they do so.
Texas has to be the most corrupt state in the nation. And the Republican Party of Texas seems quite proud of it. The only way a Democratic candidate for national office can win state-wide in Texas is if all the Republicans forget to vote early and then come down with the flu on election day. Although some of them would call an ambulance and pull a gun and demand the ambulance driver make a pit stop so they could vote.
