Alfalfa Bill would have them deported at gunpoint! Brad Henry's such a schmuck.

But irrespective of this walkout, how do you Texas FReepers feel about the redistricting plan that's the catalyst? The Houston paper (yeah, I know ...) had nothing but bad to say about it.

Redistricting happens. There was a GOP legistlator on Fox last hour who's been there for over 30 years, and said he's been through FOUR redistrictings before and nobody has ever tried something like this.

It really is this simple: The RATS, for the first time in decades, are the minority party in the Texas House, and they can't handle it, so they're throwing tantrums now that WE'RE doing to them what they used to do to us.

They can all go to hell.

The current map is drawn to elect as few Republicans as possible. The Democrats won't admit that, but it's true.

I'm tired of casting my vote knowing that it doesn't matter. John Culberson's district votes 90% Republican. That's a safer seat than the "protected" ones like Sheila Jackson Lee gets.

Damn right we want redistricting. We've never had a chance to draw them in the past 130 years.
