Reply #11: Texas and the "entire south" gets a bashing only because they overwhelmingly vote...

[PassingFair]

for Republicans.

That's the only reason. That's it.

Aside from sending moronic "red state" politicians to
D.C. to directly effect the rest of the country, it
provides cover in the "purple" states, and even in
the "blue" states, for right-of-center Blue Dogs and
New Dems, because they are the "only kind of democrat
who can win there".

There are, of course exceptions.
Most notably, from Texas:

Sheila Jackson Lee (TX-18, Houston)
Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30, Dallas)


There is not a single person on DU that would state that
EVERY PERSON IN TEXAS OR THE SOUTH is a BAD PERSON.
