The Independent Conservative Republicans of Texas announced new members today, as Senator Dan Patrick and House Republicans continue to run away from the Rick Perry and Republican Party of Texas brand.
The growing list of Texas House Republicans and Republican candidates who have decided to pledge against Speaker Joe Straus and divide themselves from the existing Republican Party of Texas appear to have no shame, nor care, for the damage they are inflicting on their own Party. Which is fine by me -- if they want to admit that Republicans can't be trusted and start their own movement, that's great with me.
The group (ICROT) will be nothing more than a line on a direct mail piece, or a 3-second screen shot on a television ad. "Proud member of the Independent Conservative Republicans of Texas" will be displayed across paid media campaigns while these Republicans try to hide the fact that they are responsible for all of Texas' major failures.
