Sorry to take you to task for your remark, but you're dead wrong. I'm a Texan and would probably have better luck finding an albino armadillo tomorrow than a conservative democrat in Texas. I suppose Charlie Stenholm is one of the last "conservative" dems, but the rest are liberal as hell (and worthless).

Dude, I don't know which "Texas" you think you live in, but the original statement was 100% correct. I don't know that the original statement meant congressional representatives, but if you actually knew anything about Texas, you'd know that truely liberal RATs are limited, for the most part, to urban areas, heavily unionized areas, and areas full of government employees. Even a good percentage of these people aren't truly liberal, but they do tend to vote for liberals on a state and national level.

The rest are moderate and conservative RATs who are RATs because their father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. were, and for no other reason. I know literally dozens of folks here in Texas that vote RAT from Al Gore all the way down to local elections, and these people are just as conservative as I am. For whatever reason, they seem to think this is still the 1950's where there are truely powerful multiple wings of the RAT party.

The original poster isn't "dead wrong." You are if you believe what you wrote.

Can you name a single elected Democrat in Texas statehouse or Congressional delegation - other than Ralph Hall - who could be called a conservative?

"Conservative" Democrats who vote for Al Gore, Ann Richards and other Liberals are simply clueless.

I don't know that the original statement meant congressional representatives,...

Yes, I was referring to congresional representatives and stand by my statement.

I also know some of those people too. They've been brainwashed even though its not their daddy's Democrat party anymore. They aren't particularly savvy on current events or politics, or they would know better. Bottom line: The democrat party mainly consists of hypocritical liberal elites, socialists, communists, union members, gullible, and often uneducated people.
