Cisneros Ping!
"Rebuilding year." :-)
The Dimwads have no vision for this nation, or our role in the world, but they have a vision for their own return to power and influence.
"Is Henry even allowed to vote?"
Given his criminal record who can say?

"Nobody get's in trouble for lying about sex under oath", right Bill? Ask your "friend" Henry if that is true, you fired him for it.
Hey there family man Henry Cisneros, got any long term mistresses still?
Can you say hypocrit?
He should have a prison record to go with that Harvard degree since he had his mistress lie to the FBI about his bribes to her. Instead, SHE did the time and he's addressing the DNC...pathetic. And this article fails to mention that little fact, doesn't it? Another thing that the partisan media is hiding from the voters.
No doubt. Rising from the ashes is about all you can do with ashes.
Build what? Sand castles in the sky?
Don't bet on it. I think they'll only get worse.
One can only hope. However, you are probably right.
He says this as Texas will throw at least six Democrats in the US House out of their jobs this year, thanks to the redistricting effort last summer.
Richardson's statement is almost certainly true. Currently, there is no Democrat in Texas who is the party leader or even a rising young star. There are 29 statewide political officeholders in Texas, and all 29 positions are held by Republicans.
If the Democrats ever elect one, the percentage increase is infinite. So, technically, Bill is right.
Even better, the appointment of both Bentsen and Cisneros to the Clinton cabinet started the chain reaction that caused the DemocRATS to lose every statewide elected office in Texas by 1998. There were lots of DemocRATS who thought Cisneros would replace Bentsen in the Senate and hold that seat for decades. But then Clinton appointed Cisneros to HUD. Ann Richards appointed former (almost successful) Senate candidate Bob Krueger to fill the seat till a special election could be held. Kay Bailey Hutchison surprised lots of people by coming in first in a very large field with lots of Republican candidates but only two DemocRATS. In fact she came close to winning a majority of the vote. Anyway there was then a required runoff between Kreuger and Hutchison. By this time Clinton had become incredibly unpopular in Texas, and Hutchison received over 68% of the vote.
A very good reason for redistricting last summer. We eliminate their farm team.
I thought this clown was convicted for mis-handling HUD funds. My his must be a real great mayor, the crook.
Oh sure, they can "build"...but who would want their house of sh*t?!
Democrats can still be elected to the state legislature and have some influence, especially when the 2/3rds "Rose Bush" rule is in effect in the Senate. But that's not much of a farm team since the legislature only rarely meets.
