“WTF is wrong with the rest of the country? We are showing you how to do it.”
Nothing. This kind of fundamental change takes time.
Texas is blessed to have committed conservatives with oil money to get candidates off the ground — and they have been working and organized for a few years longer.
Most states are not so blessed.
Don’t worry, it will happen in stages.
“...WTF is wrong with the rest of the country? We are showing you how to do it.”...”
and
“...This kind of fundamental change takes time....Don’t worry, it will happen in stages.”
Indeed. Even the smallest pebble loosened in the right place on a hillside, can cause an avalanche.
To paraphrase Kruschev - “We’ll bury them”.
The funny thing is that the teaparty guys really don’t have much money here.
What pisses me off personally are the incumbent guys like Dewhurst who mount massive smear campaigns and think they can just roll over people with money and lies.
Eff em all.
Bob Hall is a Tea party guy and he is an obnoxious prick, someone is bank rolling him.
I hope he lost his bid against Deuell who is a great guy.

Texas has a strong base of social conservative Christians, and Evangelicals, that gives it a natural conservatism that states like California never had, Texas is different because of the voters, the people, not because there is oil.
