Straus redistricted so that he could get rid of the conservatives who voted against him for speaker. How can you defend that?
My district lost our conservative St. Rep and he lost in his new district...all orchestrated by Straus.
Joe Staus should be thrown out of the Republican party if you ask me.
thanks for the context on why you are not pleased with Straus....makes sense to me now.....Monorprise....why do you say he is a criminal?
Oh OK
so Strauss was against the Conservatives...
Now i understand the Pelosi mention...
It’s a North Texas vs South Texas thing. Lot’s of North and West Texas Republicans were upset about Craddick being ousted after the 2008 election when the House was 76-74 Repblican, and the last House seat was won by.just 19 votes. Many Republicans not on.the Gulf Coast were also upset about the windstorm insurance bill in 2009.
They don’t know that Straus was elected by the Democrats and refused to let the largest Republican majority in Texas history chose the speaker.
I agree. Strauss has screwed over Republicans by working with the demonrats in our state. He has to go as speaker. He is a effing RINO!
I wish I could have been at the convention. The establishment Republicans are doing their darn best to squelch the Tea Party
