The ComDem's blocked important legislation at the end of the general session, which made this necessary.

The State of Texas is under assault at the Mexican border and on many issues withing the state of Texas. All caused by O'Biden and his anti-American Vermin.

[Dr. Thorne]

Too little, too late, Greg.

Allen West will be the next governor of Texas and will enact all the conservative reforms you eschewed. Your lukewarm actions and subsequent shoulder shrugs where you blamed others are now examples of your obvious unwillingness to follow the desires of Texans across the state. Bye bye.

[Rusty0604]

Thanks!

[marktwain]

I would like to see them pass a motorist defensive escape bill similar as was passed in Florida.

Texas law is very bad in this regard.

[TexasKamaAina]

You can tell he’s got an election coming up.

[Zathras]

Better late than never but this should have happened 20 years ago.
Hopefully the TX GOP goes full on attack against the Rino infiltrators and the remnant of the LBJ machine.

[Guenevere]

Bttt

The Texas Governor does not have as much power as do most governors, by design.

I like Allen West, but his election does not make the reforms certain of passage.

[ConservativeMind]

He's made an unscheduled laundry list of items to make it look like he's as good as Allen West would be, but Allen West didn't have hand-picked underlings who caused the deaths of dozens of people and bankrupted companies by NOT following their own policies and procedures. He made sure liberals from outside of Texas ruled in ways to hurt as many as possible.

Additionally, he required masks for everyone in any county with 20 believed infected COVID-19 positive people while illegally closing “unessential businesses,” for which no such definition exists in Texas law.

[Texas Fossil]

Agree

[Texas Fossil]

Yes. I agree.

[ptsal]

Looks like too many items on the plate. Where is the governor’s priority list?

Even with the majority in the house and senate, these rascals will fiddle around and not get much done. /#SadDay

[Clay Moore]

“Where is the governor’s priority list?”

There is only one item on Grabbot’s list. Getting elected governor in 2022 and president in 2024. Nothing else matters.

Allen West will be the next governor of Texas -

I'm already "talkin' him up" to my neighbors. It kind of surprised me how people that don't really follow politics are fed up with Abbott. The pandemic and the winter power outage are hanging around his neck like a dead skunk.

[Irenic]

Property taxes, property taxes, property taxes!

Also, what’s this with the feds sending people door to door over vaccines—what can they do to curtail this?

Abbott...meh.

[bert]

He has done more than all of you purist sour grapes naysayers combined

Zealots are a conservative problem of the first magnitude

[ChuckHam]

I like West. However, he’s not going to beat Abbott. Don’t take this as a endorsement of the governor.

[dfwgator]

I plan to vote for Huffines.

[Jrabbit]

Really? 🙄

[jimjohn]

AMEN.
