The Bush-wing of the Texas GOP apparently badly miscalculated the amount of power they still maintain in Texas.

Doesn’t Phelan have a alcohol or drug problem? I watched some video of him last year and he seemed ‘Bidenish’.

Rep. Steve Toth, R-Spring

I just found out yesterday that Toth is my state representative. I've been here for nearly 10 years and paid no attention to state politics.

I guess I have some catching up to do.

Phelan is one of the main instigators of the impeachment stuff. He’s also a $$$lover.

I don’t even know these people, but you’re right, if you attempt to impeach someone and fail miserably, the honorable thing is to resign and admit your mistake on the way out of office.

“Karl Rove orchestrated this.”


Rove’s WSJ piece from a month ago certainly makes it appear he was at the minimum an advisor to the GOPe wing of the Texas house. His article promoted the narrative that the evidence of the allegations was all proven and there was no doubt that Paxton was out the door.

"I've been here for nearly 10 years and paid no attention to state politics."

This is how Red states become Blue states.

Good for you for finally coming around - help keep Texas RED!

Don’t think he is as much pro-Bush as he is pro-Democrat.

So Paxton should sue Rove for defamation.

Exactly right. When the commie dems are in power, they don’t offer committee chairmanships to republicans. Unless of course they are fellow travelers. Also, I believe the whole episode when Phelan was at the podium, sounding drunk, was a ploy to lure Paxton to look into the issue, thus setting off the whole impeachment inquiry. I told my wife that the day it happened. Scumbags like Phelan need to be driven out.
