These days having a low IQ doesn’t disqualify people from anything, including super-stardom and holding public office.

'Tater Salad says, "In Texas we have the death penalty, and we *use* it!"

The "Tater" also says "if you come to Texas and kill someone we will kill you back.That's our policy!"

Rector knew what he was doing when he killed. That’s good enough for me.

Hooooo-AHHHHHH! Dance with the Devil you murdering son of a bitch. You can have the IQ of a turnip and still take a needle. If you're smart (or dumb) enough to kill in Texas... WE WILL put you down like the dog you are.

Rot in HELL! Too bad your lawyers couldn't join you.
