Conservative TX RATS are fast becoming an extinct species. They only exist in rural areas. They wield little influence in the party. The Texas Democratic Party has become a party of Blacks, Hispanics, and White Liberals.

They have little influence in the party and vote Republican in Statewide and National elections, but rat in local races. Many of their peers helped us build a Republican party in this state and we are foolish to ignore them.

"The Texas Democratic Party has become a party of Blacks, Hispanics, and White Liberals."

In all fairness, that should read "LIBERAL Blacks, LIBERAL Hispanics, and White Liberals."

Thus mirroring the Dimocratic Party in other states.
