For Texas delegates, a lonely role (Texas Dems Disrespected)

Arn't these the same idiots who fled to New Mexico in order to avoid voting on a redistricting plan? I disrespect them too.

[goldstategop]

Democrats from flyover country feel so lonely, don't they? Its time to put them on suicide watch.

[Aetius]

Just wait until Texas becomes a battleground state sometime after the start of the next decade.

[buffyt]

Well WE will treat OUR Texas Delegates REALLY WELL at the RNC convention! Like royalty!!!!!

[Vision Thing]

I'm sure many of those same Chicken Ds are the ones who are suffering in Boston.

They just can't catch a break.

[TheBigB]

We'll stick the Massachusetts delegation someplace nice...like Cleveland. ;)

[RoseofTexas]

Bawhahahhahahhaha....BEST LAUGH of the YEAR! That's what they get for DISRESPECTING Texas by hauling their BUTTS to Oklahoma! The Rat party stands for...USE them and ABUSE them...bawhahahahhahahhaha!

So nominate Al Sharpton and teach the DNC a lesson.

Instead of putting them on suicide watch, we should tell them to surrender. They should just join us on the right side of the political aisle, where the real winners are.

You are exactly correct about these folks fleeing to NM during last years session. Gone are the days of Bob Bullock, Dem Speaker of the House and the strongest politician in Texas. By the way, he was also a strong Bush supporter and an honest man.

[Melas]

No, this is a completely different set of idiots. The ones in NM were state legislators. These guys are delegates.

[Vision Thing]

You're not suggesting that the Texas Republicans have jumped the shark, are you?

The state is still growing faster than most. And although we have illegal immigration bolstering the dems here, the suburbs are still growing even faster, helping to bolster the Republicans.

The Republicans should continue to rule, if not grow, here in Texas.

To quote their "beloved" Hillary......""We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good,"

[ntnychik]

I'm shocked. With all the convention speakers' talk of restoring our democracy, you'd think all state delegations would be treated with scrupulous fairness. Seems to me if the few Texans who are democrat are punished, there will be even fewer in the future.

[Vision Thing]

It's gonna be cool to see the Texans taking over Madison Square Garden.

[Vision Thing]

We'll stick the Massachusetts delegation someplace nice...like Cleveland. ;)

The massholes at the RNC will probably be worse off than the poor little Texas dems at the DNC. They'll be in NYC, where Bostonians aren't much appreciated. Their beloved Red Sox will probably be seven games behind the Yanks. It'll be ugly.

Bump

[Vision Thing]

On Fox 4 here in DFW, they showed the Texas delegation responding to this article. If things weren't already bad enough for them there, this article completely dejected them.

They were very unhappy about the article.

[Vision Thing]

So nominate Al Sharpton and teach the DNC a lesson.

A Texas-sized rebellion in Boston. I like it.
