The "Rodney King" Republicans tend to be in the state Senate, where 21/31 votes is needed to do much of anything.

You got that right.

Ratliff
Wentworth
Duncan
Janek
Averitt
Brimer
and as of late, Carona

That's 7 out of 19 "Republican" senators who have SERIOUS credential issues when it comes to being conservative. Imagine if Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chaffee, and several more of their same philosophy controlled 1/3rd of the GOP delegation in the U.S. Senate. Cause that's essentially what is happening in the Texas Senate.

It seems like no matter how many elections Republicans win in TX year in and year out, not that much really changes. That's because of what I called the "Rodney King Republicans." TX has a reputation for executions, but few murderers are ever really put to death here. TX has a "low-tax" IMAGE, but sales, hotel-motel, and property taxes here are sky-high.

Wentworth does not belong on this list. He is RINO all the way. He is not trying to "get along". He is trying to sabotage the Republican, and especially the pro-life, causes to the best of his abilities.
