When I was a little boy, LBJ was president and Texas was completely liberal Democrat.
They are rare as hen's teeth now.
Next step is to get rid of the liberal (R), like Dewhurst and Perry. And since they are out of Texas politics, it's time to get rid of Strauss and get Constitutional Carry.
Maine has Open Carry... This makes me sad that Texas doesn't yet.

Some have told me that Texans were never liberal, even though most of them once registered as Dem. It's been said that, when the Democrat party began to be overtaken by radical libs and progressives, Texans moved to the Republican party.
That effect happened all over the country. Makes sense to me that it happened across the boards in Texas, as well.
Hell, when's the last time you heard anyone use the term, 'Dixiecrat'? This whole part of the country moved right when the Dems went full-on leftard.
