Whoa........

“They don’t know that Straus was elected by the Democrats and refused to let the largest Republican majority in Texas history chose the speaker.”.....

I need to really start paying attention to our state and local politics....I just take it for granted that TX goes republican and my vote has no national impact but this type of local politics is crazy.

Joe Straus: This is what happens when the "Good ol' boy" network stays in Austin too long. That's why I would not have voted for my Governor, Rick Perry in the Presidential Primary (I actually voted for Newt even though Romney was already the "presumptive" nominee.) and I did not, and I WILL NOT vote for his pal, David Dewhurst. Power corrupts!!!
