Look who our governor and AG are

Republicans enjoy immunity from prosecution in Texas until Abbott and his cronies are history.

It used to be a decent state, a little too conservative for my liking but generally ok.

Went to hell after the 94 elections.

A controversial campaign mailer from Ted Cruz’s campaign is raising eyebrows across Iowa in the final hours before the caucuses.

The campaign literature, paid for by the Texas senator’s campaign, is labeled "Voter Violation" in bold red letters, with the words "official public record" across the top.

The letter lists the name of the resident -- as well as the specific names of their neighbors -- along with a grade for how often they’ve voted.

"Their scores are published below and many of them will see your score as well." the mailer says.

Republicans hold to their political beliefs as if they were sacred canon and just like the prosperity gospel followers, nothing is immoral if it achieves implementing those doctrines.

Unfortunately, Americans have came to revel in all this campaign entertainment-style bullshit rather than revolt and force these people to behave like public servants.

A bit more from an Austin,Texas paper:

Democrat Jeff Crosby expressed concern by email that the envelope’s “Summons Enclosed” message might lead people to think they’re in legal trouble.

“Cruz’s campaign must think it’s effective,” Crosby said, “or they wouldn’t do it. I have to wonder if for every supporter they gain, they lose another one angry about the deception.”


I've been sick of this crap since the 60s..............
