I'm a native Texan and a true blue democrat. I just hate it when it's automatically assumed I'm a right winger because I live in Texas. In my lifetime I've only voted for one Republican and that was when I was too young and dumb to know better. I'm still ashamed of it, but I am proud to be a liberal Democrat and I get pissed off and defensive when someone assumes I'm a Rethug or a bible thumper just because I live in Texas. There are a lot of liberals in Texas, but we never get any credit for keeping our state from turning more red. Sometimes I would just love to leave Texas and go live in Seattle near my daughter. But their waters are too cold and I don't want to be like a rat abandoning ship.I work in healthcare with the elderly. My state needs my voice and my vote. Why don't some of you libs on DU come on down here and help me get that moron Ted Cruz out of office?
