Without Republicans and Texas

I suspect if it wasn't for the GOP and Texas this section of the forum would surely die with no one left to bash! As I glance at the titles on this section, I see how wicked and terrible and to blame for all the country's problems the GOP and Texas are. . Maybe then the only thread left would be the "Good News" thread. ;) With so little good news posted that might not survive either.

Like it or not the GOP and Texas will survive and thrive. Have a blessed day, ya'll.
 

These reports are what's happening. They are credible reports about how Texas uses it's power. Texans must like it as they continue to elect these people, I guess the rest of the states have to try to keep democracy alive. What sane person would support this kind of power grab? Enjoy defending you dictators.
 
Sadly, it appears to the rest of us.. that Texas has lost it's collective mind.. Especially since Barack Obama was elected.. And that's a shame.. Texas is a beautiful state.. but it's politics and rhetoric from it's politicians have seriously gone off the deep end..
 

How can people support that? In America? Really? Some in Texas are frustrated as they see it, but sadly they are outnumbered by those who are apparently blind.
 
I think a lot of it has to do with misinformation. I'd be willing to bet that in Texas, as well as many of the Red Southern States, the only news available is FOX.. and the only radio talk shows are Conservative and Evangelical Religious... Bet that most folks don't even have access to other sources of information, and why would they even listen to it, or seek it if they have been brainwashed by what they have fed to them? They think it all lies anyway. Nothing will change until Conservative policies begin to affect them financially... until SS is privatized or taken away, and Medicare turned into a voucher system way to expensive for most seniors to afford. Maybe then.. but I wouldn't hold my breath. That's a shame, because all of us will suffer because of this.

That's a pretty sad statement even from you.
These so called "dictators" are ELECTED officials put in their positions by the VOTERS, there is no one else to blame but the VOTERS. Most don't vote and a holiday to vote will mean more shoppers in Walmart looking for those Voters Day Specials.
TSA and the election officials in this country have no idea what their jobs are.
cats,dogs,dead people, non-residents have more voting power then then we do.

Elected officials like President Obama who was voted into the White House twice by the people of America is also called a dictator and much worse, not just by some disgruntled citizens who didn't get their way, but also by Republican politicians...that to me is so childish, and sad for this country.

Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) went there before President Barack Obama's State Of The Union address Tuesday, tweeting that he was waiting on the House floor for the "socialistic dictator" to deliver his speech.



Randy Weber ✔@TXRandy14
On floor of house waitin on "Kommandant-In-Chef"[chief]... the Socialistic dictator who's been feeding US a line or is it "A-Lying?"

This is the sort of stuff that makes the rest of us roll our eyes at Texas.. Why is this OK? Quick answer? It's NOT. BUT it's always overlooked when Texas or people from Texas want to get all offended about what is said about it... or them.
 
And why is it wrong for folks like Texans to speak of opposing politicians in ways that opposing politicians talk about them? Should be considered fair by all, and not something bad.
 
All the post about texas and the gop are the truth, I would suggest, if you think otherwise, post a rebuttal, if you cannot post a rebuttal, you need to rethink your position.

Unfortunately for some, the truth is different than being posted. Which is why I posted what I did. Each side is allowed to have their own idea of what is right and wrong. That is what is happening.

If these Texas politicians are actually seen on tape, and are quoted as saying these strange things..... tell me again, How can you refute it and call it lies?

Very true.

Here's my thoughts on Bob. He never posts anything other than directly calling the poster a liar. He posts no contradictory facts, just denies the facts posted. I probably shouldn't say "go away" but post after post that he calls lies when the evidence is posted makes me frustrated. I'll put him back on ignore to avoid my disputes with him.
 
I dont see any rebuttals with facts being posted of the liberals, they just dont like what we post....lol, the old saying 'the truth hurts' comes to mind.
 
Jim is OK. It is just not true what he has said. Being a Texan is no different than any other place. We all have ideas we think are correct in our minds. Fair enough? I would ask my brother from Dallas, but he died a few years back. Texans are Texans, same as the rest of us from where ever.

Problem with these political driven ideas, they are only true for the political party speaking, and not necessarily even considered correct for any other political parties.

I don't think Obama has had two overwhelming elections at all. Examples following.

2008 Electoral vote was 67.8% and popular vote was 52.9%
2012 Electoral vote was 61,7% and popular vote was 51.1%

Higher electoral votes have been seen.

Bill Clinton
1996 Electoral vote was 70.4% and popular vote was 49.2%
1992 Electoral vote was 68.8% and popular vote was 43.0%

Bush senior
1988 Electoral vote was 79.2% and popular vote was 53.4%

Ronald Regan
1997 Electoral vote was 97.6% and popular vote was 58.8%
