No, I don't like Phil for anything. When he was my senator, he was too much about doing the Lobby's business. For all he talked about small-businessman Dicky Flatt when he was on campaign, he did the bidding of the big banks, credit-rating companies, marketers, and major (not independent) oil companies in practice. That junk mail you're getting? That was Phil, passing a law that allows people you do business with -- your bank, your insurance company -- to sell your confidential business info on the street. That's what Phil was about.
He was Texas' answer to Alphonse d'Amato.
Well too bad you didn't like him. You're in the minority of Texans.
