"Let me give the Democrats a message," he said. "We look different. Some of us talk different. Our skins are not the same color.
"Our ethnic origins are not the same," he said. "But what's important as a Texan and American is not the color of your skin and not where your grandfather came from but what is in your heart."
Dittos! Texans and All Americans will miss Phil when he is gone.
I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!
Nothing new here, the democrats have been playing race politics for years to divide and conquer. That's the main reason they support so much immigration from third world countries. A golden opportunity to find more "victims' in need of special treatment only they can provide.
That all said, he can still give a hell of a speech, and the angry reaction of the Democrat race-agogues shows that he found paydirt. If they want to run a race-baiting campaign, fine, but make them pay every step of the way.
I didn't think I would see it in my lifetime (I'm only 54), but the yellow dogs are rolling over and dying at last. A Houston Chronicle story on the demographics of the primary turnout said that the professional pollsters think the East Texas piney-woods Democrats stayed home and undervoted by a bunch in their own primaries, and that the menfolk will come out and break for the GOP this fall. No telling what the women will do yet. But the yellow dogs are dying at last, for sure. John Sharpe is the "token white" on the ticket -- and those voters see that that is exactly what he is.
Somebody go tell the Democratic Napoleon -- "the Old Guard has broken! The Guard retreats!"
Kinda' like cockroaches scurrying when someone turns on the lights......
I object! I haven't been able to make money from it!?
I ain't a Texican but I have spent some time in that great state at Lackland AFB and Sheppard AFB, I am however an American and damned proud of it too! Of course that makes me and Phil Gramm racists of course, to leftist demoRat, Hate America\Blame America First jerkoff's! Give the creeps hell Phil!!
These are sad days, indeed, when these very sensible provisions are considered "controversial".
Its sad to see the repubs that are leaving are part of the very few with backbone.
One of our local black preachers who is known to put his politics before his religion bought a new Cadillac. I told him I was going to get a Black church so I could drive a Cadillac, too. He started making accuses, "I got a good deal." etc. I loved it!
Reaction from the campaign of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Sanchez was swift and angry.
"This is outrageously insulting," said his press aide, Mark Sanders. "If this is an effort by [Gov.] Rick Perry and Phil Gramm to play the race card, they should be ashamed of themselves. This is a shameful political tactic to divide this state."
Gramm is right and Sanchez is wrong. Texas is part of the United States. English is the official language of the United States.
If Sanchez likes Spanish so much or if he wants to campaign in Spanish then he can go south of the border to do it. End of story!!
ADIOS SANCHEZ!!
All of this was on WFAA-TV this morning.
Hurry before they bring out the Cheerleaders!
