Xavier Rodriguez is La Raza Rick’s creation. Time to own it.

WTF? I just heard about this. So we get pushed back from Mar 6 to Apr 3 because some federal Judges say so?

What a load of crap!

You really should read the articles you post, it states clearly that this was an agreement between the Democrats and Republicans, that was approved by the judges:

The proposal approved by the court in San Antonio was an agreement between the Texas Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Texas. The runoff election is set for June 5.

I'd like to hear who in the Republican Party of Texas agreed to this.

It was all forced by the Federal judges who attacked our redistricting plan.

The legal challenges have left candidates with no clear idea of the boundaries of the districts they would represent, making an early March primary impractical.

In other words, the feds drew this out in court to drag our primary to a stand still.

Then we had to compromise just to get the primary in Apr.

“Xavier Rodriguez is La Raza Rick’s creation. Time to own it.”

No kidding...they’re compartmentalizing what’s going on. It reminds me the story that Rush used to talk about a lot, which involved two kids (Mendendez) killing their parents (in California) so they could cash in on their wealth. The jury acquitted them because the poor boys were already suffering by not having parents anymore.

Isn’t that a hoot ? Note the lead flunkie in this thread talking about “federal judges” as if they’re some nameless, faceless creations of their own making. It ain’t just that Ricky created Xavier Rodriguez, but when XR was soundly rejected by Republican voters by an actual Conservative, he went out of his way to defeat that candidate, no matter how long it took. Ricky is a nasty piece of work, and so are his supporters.
