I agree rats are dispicable! But are the 2 sides reading 2 different laws or is it just 1 badly written law that can be read 2 ways ? Where is the Texas Supreme court on this or the US Supremes for that matter?

I don't have the answers to your questions, sorry. Perhaps someone else does, I don't know.

Why don't we freep the Marriott hotel chain? They are basically harbouring fugitives.

""Gonzalo Barrientos 52%
John Witmire 60%
Ken Armbrister 53%
Judith Zaffirini 89%""
If Barrientos & Armbrister got knocked off next year, that would mean 21 Republicans out of 31 seats, or, a 2/3 majority.
All you FReepers in Texas have got to make sure these RATs don't get re-elected next year.

Thanks for digging through the data..looks like two are vulnerable... I was getting ready to post the same data, but "Betweenthelines" beat me to it. There is another thing I noticed: looking at the state-wide races, the percentage of victory for Republicans is anywhere from 54% to 64.1%. There was only ONE democRAT elected to a statewide position with 57.1%. That was the State Board of Education. (PC for dogcatcher)
Many of the RAT gerrymandered districts are in poor areas that are so heavy populated by minorities who normally vote for the dims anyway.
The vote totals for the entire state ran over 2 million votes for Republicans and 1 million for dims. Many statewide races had third party candidates as well. With over two thirds of the state voting for Republicans, I want 67% OR MORE of our DC representation being Republican.

Are ya going to the rodeo down there this year ?As a wise man once said... not on a bet with a box of grenades... :)
To: MeeknMing
Thanks for the great link. I just called my Tx senator & rep. & voiced my disapproval of the behavior of the dims. I am on hold now for the Govorners office to give him my opinion. The Govs. # is 512-463-2000 in case anyone else wants to call.

The Libritarians drew near 5% of the vote in Barrientos district, while the Republicans drew 43%. District 14 is less than one third minority, so if you could get the Pubs and Libritarians togeather, I think Barrientos could be eliminated.
The situation is very similar in district 18 where Armbrister is from. Rep. 46%, Dem. 53.3%, Lib near 1.5%. This one could be won also.
Witmire's and Zaffirini's districts are largely minority and permantly Democrat.

My Rep Beverly Woolley's office agreed with me & was very nice. Senator John Whitmire's office (dim) was very stern & business like. He asked me if I disagreed with Whitmire & I told him YES & that their behavior was cowardly & unTexanlike. Freepers please get on the phone & call all of them.

Who pays their expenses while they are "boycotting"? The national party. Given the number of congressional seats at stake, they will stop at nothing. If they thought it would help and they could get away with it, there would be bodies wearing cement overshoes in Galveston Bay.
Of course, no newsie will ever ask that question. Now if the national republicans or George Bush were to help the republicans, they newsies would be all over it.
Anybody in a position to find out who is paying their bills?
To: Tijeras_Slim
Normally I was the F U in Fun when it came to that event. BCSD used to send us down there to help. But we traveled in packs of 6 when working the rodeo there. Very dangerous. But agree, I would'nt let the sun set on my carcas in the AO on a bet. People vanish in that land grant. Those folks want the New out of New Mexico . Remember Tierra Amarilla fiasco ? I think such is gonna happen in Chili-leeeee someday also.
Stay Safe

The judge who ruled against the DPS being used for the House chickens is a visiting (retired, but still being used) judge - old dim. Surprise! He ruled for the dims.
