So they consider Whitmire the infidel who aids the crusaders.

On August 18, 2003, Rodney Ellis,Texas State Senator from Houston, wrote an impassioned letter to moveon.org asking for money (among other things). That website, which is hard-linked to the communist party website (www.cpusa.org) obliged this bunch of fine, upstanding democrats with about 1 million in help.

Imagine being called a chicken by a flock of chickens.

Just goes to show Democrats aren't too terribly bright. Whitmire may well prove to be strategically sharper than any of them. If you catch the House/Senate split, we Republicans are on the verge of once again forming a circular firing squad. Craddick will not cut loose his map with San Angelo and Midland/Odessa in 19th. Duncan in the Senate is dedicated to a San Angelo/Abilene 17th. Craddick has the edge on tenure and dirty fighting, but Duncan has proved a quick study.

If, after three special sessions the Democrats finally come home only to watch the Republicans self-destruct over their own pet issue, they will beat us to death with this issue next election. While I didn't see all the details, I warned people at the end of regular session that this might turn into a can of worms we wish we hadn't opened. We would have done better spending this political capital on winning the 5 seats held by Dems in Republican majority districts.
