Sorry, hadn’t refreshed.
Patrick has been fighting to end the BLOCKER POLICY in the State Senate, and WILL END IT if elected Lt. Governor.
That one policy allows ONE THIRD of the Senate to block ANY BILL from consideration and has been abused by Democrats NON-STOP since Dewhurst became Lt. Governor, virtually paralyzing state government, when Republicans have a lock on EVERYTHING related to being in power.
There is a REASON why we STILL have Sanctuary Cities, the Texas DREAM ACT, no school vouchers, and many other liberal policies here, and Dewhurst is a HUGE PART of that problem (along with Perry and the House Speaker). And we only got Voter ID a couple of years ago. These are not hard issues for conservatives, but they GET BLOCKED by Dewhurst working with the Democrats.
But the bottom line, in this run-off is that Dewhurst WILL LOSE, and at this point, given his smear campaign, he seems more interested in trying to in trying to have a DEMOCRAT win that seat.
