I am glad to see The Dallas Morning News bring up MoveOn.org . They are a FAR LEFT organization. So far left that the Communist Party USA links them on their website right up near the very top ! (left side in dark blue). Perhaps we could write to Gromer Jeffers, Junior and let him know about that ???

Senators say principles 'priceless'

[goldstategop]

Keep calling sessions til the Democrats ARE flat broke.

[goldstategop]

LMAO! If they didn't have outside special interests pay their bills to the tune of $400,000 I doubt they would defend their "priceless" principles!

videoconferences with constituents back home

I would assume their mail is being forwarded. They have moved their district offices out of the state.

My note to Gromer Jeffers, Junior this morning:

Thank you for including the fact that MoveOn.org ( http://www.moveon.org/ ) has raised $800,000 for these Legislative Terrorists. SInce you didn't bring it up in your article, I just thought you might want to know that the Communist Party USA ( http://www.cpusa.org/ ) links MoveOn.org on their website. Nice to see that these Terrorist have such fine characters backing them up. Next article, can you please include this information ? It would be nice for the public to know that Communists are supporting these Legislative Obstructors.

Sincerely,

One can only hope that the citizens of Texas are so fed up with this they vote the Dims out of office.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

[goldstategop]

Texas should really prosecute the Party under the RICO statute to make Texas taxpayers whole.

[Puppage]

Wouldn't THAT be fair & just? I wonder why they WON'T?<<<<retoricle question.

""Taking a stand for our priorities and Democratic principles: priceless,"

Democratic principles? Some words just don't go together. This childish game of theirs ought to cost them their positions.

Democratic principles? Some words just don't go together.

Yes, there are Democratic principles. For a Leftist, it is principled to take as much money from the productive as possible to give to the unproductive. It is principled for them to be perceived as having any and all solutions to man's problems. It is principled for them to squash liberty, even though they'll tell you that what they want is "freedom."

Principles. Whether on the Left or Right, whenever I hear or read someone going on and on about principles I want to just vomit. It's an airy or blithe term, often used as a throw away word or in intellectual conceit.

No doubt about that. Support from the FAR LEFT is becoming the rule lately too it seems ! ...

And, yes, Prairiebreeze, I hope Texans are tired of them too !! I know this Texan is !! ...

The Dirty 'RATS !

Ms. Van de Putte, though, says the senators are fighting to protect the rights of minorities and rural Texans against a GOP machine.

What's missing in this statement? The word POOR. No mention of the Rich Republicans against the Poor? They can't say that when they are living high off the hog and "the cost of rooms and incidentals would total at least $100,000. Legal expenses would add up to $300,000 more." They can only play the race and minority card on this one.

[Texan5]

This "rural Texan", who also happens to be a minority does not want any "help" from idiots like Van de Puke. I just want to "help" her get kicked out of office.

[honeygrl]

"Hotel rooms, according to Ms. Van de Putte, range from $89 to $100.

I looked up the hotel they are staying in online and it said the rooms are $150/night. They must be getting a great deal on them somehow.

"Other expenses include personal cellphone calls, meals, laundry, faxes, hotel bar tabs and the cost of transporting relatives. "

1. They must have a sucky cell service provider.
2. Hotel bar tabs? I bet that's a huge bill. What kind of moron wants to help pay for them to drink?
3. They can't do their own laundry? Most nice hotels let you use the laundry room free.
4. Their relatives should transport themselves.

I can't believe anyone would donate money to pay for all that crap.

"United Steelworkers of America gave the Texas 11 $25,000 for their expenses."

Do we have to boycott steel now?

[SpinyNorman]

For now, the Democrats are paying the tab out of their own pockets and from campaign funds.

jExcelllent! All the easier to defeat them in the next election!! Let them stay in OK!! (rhymes nicely!)The Texas Democratic Party has already started a fund-raising campaign to help the senators, though officials won't disclose how much money they have raised.

Sounds like a perfect time for the Texas Republican Party to do some fundrasing of its own!! Think of the "Missing in Action" and "AWOL"commercials they could run that would enrage decent Texans!! I bet they could get Chuck Norris to do some commercials all decked out in his MIA movie garb!! He is a Republican, right? This is almost too easy!!

[SpinyNorman]

Apologies for the formatting!! More coffee!!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

They were staying at the Marriott, but they moved to another hotel that was a little less expensive. Something about the meeting rooms were booked ahead and the 'RATS just HAD to have meeting rooms ...

You can just bet that hardly a penny of their own money will go toward any of this Legislative Terrorism ...

[MeekOneGOP]

No problemo ...

Have a cup while you FReep !
