Texas Republicans Who "Stand With Phil Robertson" The Duck Dynasty Patriarch

The Duck Dynasty controversy, has been a head-to-head clash of pop-culture and politics, and has finally made its way to Texas. Most top office holders in the state like Governor Rick Perry and Atty. Gen. Greg Abbott have avoided the making any comment, but the same can't be said of those trying to break through the crowded field of conservatives to statewide office.

Texas State Senator Dan Patrick is becoming the Goofball Whisperer.

He’s running for Lt. Governor in the Terror Trifecta of incumbent David Dewhurst, Patrick, and the usual holder of the Holy Crap, What’s He Thinking? ....

So, answer me this. If that was God talking, why does he use words he wouldn’t use? You’re cruising for a headache on this one, Honey. If I ever call you on the phone and I’m using words I normally don’t use and sound like somebody from Boston, it probably ain’t me.

You know, when Moses came down from the mountain, God’s words were inscribed in stone, not gibbered through some guy who thought slavery was pretty damn cool for African Americans.

issues. I fail to see how Patrick can profess to be such a Christian and stand so tall behind Phil with the language used in the interview, oh, guess I forgot, Phil is a republican and can not do any wrong in their eyes.
