However, RiNO's are seeking out and banding together with 'Rat caucuses (or remnants of caucuses, as in Texas) to form a governing block of votes to control the State's agenda in spite of the majorities and the votes. This is true in Texas, where the speaker of the Texas house is a liberal RiNO most of whose support comes from the 'Rats.
It would be interesting to know, if your data-mining source is driven to pursue even more insight, if this arrangement is common among States that have elected strongly- or more-conservative Republican majorities.
I ask because I see the hand of Karl Rove and his NWO bosses in our Texas predicament. The speakership didn't just fall on this speaker: he led an insurrection against the former, conservative speaker with the help of the liberal 'Rats (but I repeat myself) to roll the majority. Somehow I think someone whispered in his ear..... And I should add that New England Old Money Yankees have had a habit of doing this for the last 75 years or so, planting cuckoo eggs on us to get Yankee results from Texas congressmen.
The Texas lege is now 2:1 Republican, but the RiNO' s and social liberals control the agenda.
The MOST IMPORTANT THING is what we, the people, think.
You can bet the RINO types are shivering in their boots---they KNOW the midterm voters that dumped the party of Obama are watching and waiting.
......and will turn on them....if they start acting like the party of Obama.
