Why bother?

The problem in Texas, just like the problem in the US Senate, isn't the Democrats. No, the problem is the Republicans who have majority and can't do a damn thing with it. The Democrats never have a problem even when their majority is only +1. Heck, the Democrats can control things even with a substantial minority, like the 41 to 59 they are using to hold up the judicial nominations in the US Senate.

The Republicans need to start acting a majority party and quit crying and cowering and caving in to the mean ole Democrat minority who has them 'skeer't of their own shadders.'

It is becoming laughable to be a Republican Legislator. They are becoming the laughingstock of the legislative process.

I second that TomGuy. Its time for the GOP to toughen up and stop worrying about offending the DemocRATS!!
