Free Republic

With the exception of the races mentioned in this article, the Old-Guard GOP-E that surrounded Straus in Texas were thoroughly trounced by Tea-partyers.

Yep. Nearly a clean sweep including the Judicial races.

While the three tea party incumbents who were being challenged by establishment politicians won big, liberal-leaning Republicans closest to House Speaker Joe Straus lost in race after race this week.

(The reps elect the speaker)

Defeated Straus incumbents include State Rep. Lance Gooden in House District 4, Diane Patrick in HD94, Linda Harper-Brown in HD105, Bennett Ratliff in HD115, and Ralph Sheffield in HD55.

Lt. Gov. Dewhurst fights for survival in GOP race

Dewhurst is fighting for his political legacy after presiding over the Texas Senate for 11 years. In that role, he has chosen committee leaders, controlled the legislative agenda and maintained the Texas Senate's clubby atmosphere that keeps the wheels of government turning.

But after his loss to Ted Cruz in the 2012 GOP primary race for the U.S. Senate, Dewhurst has tacked hard to the right. He has talked more about banning almost all abortions and even appointed Patrick to chair one of the Senate's most power committees, public education.

Patrick, meanwhile, focused on passing abortion restrictions and expanding the number of charter schools in Texas, while unsuccessfully pushing for tougher laws regarding illegal immigration.

Patrick scored big with 41 percent of the vote to the incumbent's 28 percent in a four-way race. Two other conservative candidates, both former lawmakers who serve as elected commissioners for major state agencies, shared 29 percent of the vote.

That is such a load of utter BS...

Plenty of guacamole, not overly priced.

I think I hear a whiney liberal screeching about a non-issue to push their commie agenda to attract attention to themselves.

nuthin new there...

Stovall, Abbot, Person, Watts ping for later at work.

Of course, a politician lying is hardly a shock, but there is a difference between telling untruths (see Nixon, Richard M.) and making stuff up. I liked Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s dictum: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.”

That seems so old-fashioned now, when global-warming deniers hold forth on the floors of the House and the Senate, and numerous Republicans merrily denounce our moderate president as a “Socialistic dictator,” in the recent words of Rep. Randy Weber (R-Tex.). I haven’t met Weber, but I have met some of the other House Republicans whose intellectual output can be equally baffling. One of my frustrations in recent years has been the journalistic conventions that can make it difficult to speak or write in a straightforward way about people such as Weber who make preposterous statements — and act as though they believe them.

Robert? Please. Look. Outside.

That white stuff that is on everything from Spokane to Dallas to Albany is not "someone's opinion."

When President Obama states " I am not a socialist," well, yes Robert, that is a "politician lying."

And when people such as Weber make what you believe to be "preposterous statements — and act as though they believe them" you might not want to consider the sources so much as consider YOUR ability to separate the facts from the opinions.

Again, Robert, take a look outside. Heck, you might even try going for a walk out there...

Then I just quit `cause I am sooo tired of hearing about little bammy and Harry "fairy-voice" Reid.

Was scrolling through the comments when it dawned on me it was John.

That is how far from sanity the neo-communists really are.

Their actual public statements are not even close to normal thought process.

Well I THOUGHT it was Sen Cruz, it was part of a web page or a graphic. I looked at it and thought that ought to wrinkle Pete’s tie...

I will look some more.

TExAs

we are returning your application... because it was not received...

???

There was no application submitted, sooo they are guessing that they are "owed" one?

And it is too late now, the numbers are out (3.7% compliance) so the citizens know they have already won.

Nothing to do now but wait them out.

California SKS "ban" all over again.

.

I think Sen. Cruz will wait for the initial primary results (for TExAs) and then do an endorsement.

It is quite likely that Cornbread will not get 51% and there will be a runoff.

If so I am looking for him to go with Stovall.

From the bottom of the article...

The first vote he missed on Monday night was on a bill involving preparedness for chemical or biological attack; that passed with only 2 no votes. The second vote came on a bill to ensure in-state tuition for veterans attending college; that passed unanimously, with Stockman and 40 other House members absent.

Being there would have made zero difference.

"Bill, I'm trying to explain it to you if you want to listen," Obama countered.

The president also turned on Fox News when questioned about the IRS scandal, in which conservative groups were scrutinized more heavily when seeking tax-exempt status.

"These kinds of things keep on surfacing, in part, because you and your TV station will promote them," Obama said.

What a whiny little bitch!

The IRS criminal conspiracy won’t go away because the horrid FOX News actually reports on it?

I look bad because you don’t swallow my line of b.s?

No wonder he has even lost the black democrats in Chicago of all places!

Yeah, it's all about the money, right?

It is just x number of dollars = end result.

Yeah, my exact first thought...

Just the beginning of going after the electoral college.

Schumer said "the tea party machine" has a particularly strong influence on Republican primaries, partly because the far right turns out to vote; and partly because of gerrymandering -- "where Republicans have learned to capture state legislatures and then use innovative technology to draw districts where a Democrat could never be elected.

"Hence, the Republican House member only has to look over his right shoulder and moves much further to the right than the average voter in his or her district would want."

The same thing can happen in Democratic primaries, Schumer admitted -- "but at the moment, it is far more exaggerated on the Republican side."

Oh yes, the commies do it but it is very very bad when the republicans do it...

It is what they are, mentally disordered.

Not right in the head.

There is no cure.

Many times I have posted this.

So, as it is said, one more time...

They are beyond help, they do not have the capacity to be educated out of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness." They can not or refuse to see the destructive nature of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness" they promote.

What the supporters of communist "liberalism and progressiveness" will destroy is the very nation that gave them their freedom. They will complain, demonize, belittle and protest when opposed for nothing other that preserving this Republic in it's original context "by the consent of the governed."

They will not stop destroying this nation of their own accord.

The only way to preserve freedom for American Citizens in this Republic is suppression of the communist supporters by some overwhelming means.

"Taking the high road" is rapidly becoming something to be put on the shelf for a while. It is now time to step up, get in their face and refuse any narrative other than they are worthless communist agenda bastards undeserving of a place in this Republic.

Worthless communist agenda bastards undeserving of a place in this Republic.











So, how?

One battle at a time and they will kick, scream, curse and fight the return of freedom and sane behavior every inch of the way. If some semblance of our former Republic can be restored they will require constant observation.



The communists will revert to demanding total control faster than can be understood by rational thought as rational thought is not understood by communists.



The supporters of communist "liberalism and progressiveness" will NEVER be normal freedom loving American Citizens.



NEVER

The ability of people to peacefully assemble to petition their government for redress of grievances is under attack as the IRS and Democratic senators continue to ask, "Are you now, or have you ever been, a conservative?"

Yeah, that about sizes it up...

Yep.

One of those unintended consequences of letting the screeching green-weenies out of their cages.

Not a scrap of lead in it.

You left out the scorpions. I know you are from Texas. When Texans talk the tails are tall and wide.

Well you know, you are right, I plum forgot about the little devels! And some of the scorpions here in Texas ARE kinda tall and wide...

“”Texas is too cold. Texas gets too hot. Texas gets too wet. Texas is too dry. Texas has too many that cling to their guns, many many guns. Texas has and uses the death penalty.””

******************************

You’r right, in fact, Texas is awful. Too hot in the summer, day after day of 100+ and you will freeze during the winter cold fronts. It is so cold it knocks out the power plants that provide the heating.

In the early part of dang near ever summer we get these huge thunderstorms that have so much lightening it is like artillery barrages and dump hailstone the size of tennis balls. My truck just got busted up by the latest one here in Dallas back last June. The damage was so widespread it took two and a half weeks just to get to an estimator. I didn’t get into a body shop till October. They were all full.

We got killer bees, anthrax in everything from the vegetable gardens to the deer, tornadoes, floods and gigantic wildfires that burn down entire groups of counties.

Fire ants are everywhere. We have been trying to kill them off for a generation, no luck.

There are so many rattlesnakes that Texas doesn’t require a hunting license to just kill`em and I think it is only ten bucks for the massive rattlesnake hunts they have every year. It is still ok to stomp them to death when they come up in your front yard.

The ones going to those snake hunts are something else. Here in Texas it is classified as “recreation.” No joke. No traps allowed, gotta use your hands and a stick.

Also there are coral snakes and 10 kinds of pit vipers, including the copperhead, cottonmouth plus eight rattlesnake species. Piranha in some lakes too. There are World record alligators in the rivers as well. It makes for some interesting fishing trips.

Then there are the feral hogs all over the place. No season. No limit. Standard hunting license and you are good to go after the 300 pounders. Just watch out for the packs of coyotes that run wild day and night.

Mountain lions are pretty much everywhere, including the outer suburbs in far north DFW. They had to shoot one in downtown El Paso last year. About five years ago one was spotted in a downtown Dallas parking garage! Damn things will hop your backyard fence and chow down on your dogs in a blink of an eye.

Then there are the Texans themselves. Wow! The only folks I know that call their AR-15’s “pellet guns.” Dallas county has so many people doing concealed carry I don’t even have to anymore. Darned if they are not just everywhere. And some are toting iron that makes a .45 look like a 22.

Texans take their rifles up in helicopters and kill hogs from the air, Air Assault style! Air Assault... Air Mobile. No joke, they lock the doors open, strap in, fire up the `chopper and swoop down on those big `ol hogs!

Then they come back five hours later and hunt for coyotes over the dead hogs using night-vision rifle scopes and infra-red laser illumination.

Pirates! Down on the southern border you have actual pirates. No joke. Mexican “lake pirates” on the Texas border at Falcon Reservoir and other locations on the Rio Grande!

Texas DPS hunts them with 36 foot gunboats.
The armaments on board include:
+ 5 - static mounted [2 dual & 1 single] FN M240B 7.62×51 mm NATO Light machine guns,
+ 2 - Barrett .50 BMG Sniper Rifles,
+ other assorted 5.56 rifles, 9mm sub machine guns, and grenade launchers.

Everywhere you go the people are almost all Republicans or conservatives OR TEA Party! They actually believe that smaller and smaller government is a good thing. It is difficult to find any correctly CSCOPE educated and enlightened people to talk about global warming, renewable green energy or diversity/inclusiveness!

Any if you want to relax for a year or two and write a book or whatever, forget it! You can’t stay on unemployment for as long as you like because jobs are everywhere. Those drilling and pipeline companies working the shale (dirty) oil boom going on in central Texas are hiring everybody in sight.

Not only all that, they actually allow the operation of huge refineries all over the State and offshore drilling and oil production too! Because the refineries are right there you can’t find gasoline properly priced above $3.20 a gallon ANYWHERE.

They are SO BACKWARDS they have not even passed a State income tax and do not require union labor!

Yea, CSCOPE and common core educated and enlightened people would not like it here. They should not even think about showing up in Texas, it’s just awful.
