But I don't want him as Lt. Governor because of the power he wields over the legislature. We're going to have an all-Republican legislature for the first time since Reconstruction, and the current rules give the Lt. Gov complete power over what bills make it to the floor.
Poop on that.
I was making the argument introduced above, that 'Rats like him are a dying breed, and that the 'Rat leadership will promote the new "minority-led" Democratic Party, even contemplating the current 'Rat cadre's own extinction a la Lindy Boggs (Hale's widow, Cokie Roberts's mom), who was long a die-hard liberal Democrat representing Louisiana's Second Congressional District (New Orleans and environs). Boggs received a delegation of black ministers and NAACP functionaries one day who just told her thanks, Mrs. Boggs, you've done a lot for our people, but now it's time for a change; it's time for one of our own. And that was it. That was her career.
The 'Rats are siding with Malthusian Third World populations against the ones what brung 'em. The ones what brung 'em may well vote GOP now, especially the men, who see what is going on, finally breaking those brass collars as it becomes obvious that the 'Rats are going to put the Alamo itself in the scales, and everything Travis and Crockett fought for there. The Democratic nominee keeps giving me a whiff of President Chavez of Venezuela -- he's got an aroma of the Left caudillo and the Peronista about him. And yes, I could see him as the new Santa Anna.
Texas is going to be a footrace, to see if the conservatives can shut the floodgates before the RINO's and other NWO's can drown us all in a sea of dirt-floor labor and straight-ticket DemonRat votes.
