Texans need to know that this November, it will be time to vote out the Republican, John Cornyn and replace him with a Democrat. He is a class II senator and his election cycle is this November.

Because she is amazingly smart, hard-working, and knowledgeable about all of the issues which the President must deal with - foreign affairs, military issues, economic issues, health care, education, working with BOTH parties in Congress (she has co-sponsored legislation with Repubublicans far more than Obama has).

Because as First Lady she was President Clinton''s chief advisor and, while not always totally agreeing with him on all issues (i.e., NAFTA), she saw the Presidential decision-making process from the inside for 8 years.

Because as Senator for 7 years, she sponsored MORE LEGISLATION PER YEAR than ANY OTHER of the 546 members of Congress. (www.govtrack.us/data/us/110/repstats/enacted.xml)

North Texas is notorious for racism and hatred. There are some decent people, but most will not respect those they have differences with or their freinds or supporters. They are very controlling.

South Texas is must more friendly and progressive. They are very accepting.

The State of Texas is filled with voters who want to climb out from under the political oppression that has ruined democracy there for years. The voters will make Texas Democrat and change the GOP. Voters also need to replace their US House and Senate by voting a straight DEMOCRAT party ticket.

The only thing Texans have to lose is their pride, and most know that pride wont get their families fed or gas in their trucks.

There have, in the course of this election, been a lot of harsh words being tossed around, and many are behaving like monkeys, heaving s**t at one another. The actual fault lies squarely in the laps of all those who have the capacity to understand the dynamics of government, economics, and the environment, and for many years have sat back, complacently allowing Washington to have its way with us.---We have made the mistaken assumption that, as long as nobody was shooting at us, everything was fine! Well, they ARE shooting at us, and NOTHING is FINE, and has not been for a very long time. We, ourselves, are entirely to blame for our ponderous, grandfatherly, unimaginative, and quite frankly dangerous government. We put them in office, and gave them permission to screw it all up in our name, just so long as it did not disturb our comfortable lifestyles. This is true for rich and poor, alike. Big Brother got drunk, and the house burnt down because nobody else was watching what he was doing.--
The only slap should be to our own hands. We all knew things were going wrong for a very long time, and we can blame no one else for the results of ignoring all the cues and warnings we''ve been given. Now, someone has stood up on their hind legs, and decided to take responsibility for the whole thing, and do some things to repair it. I don''t see this as a bad thing. Personally, I am very grateful that he has the courage to bother.

If the Democrats want to discourage Republican voters they could let it be known that the *** offenses police division will be patrolling the polls.

excoachken,
Thank you for your service, sir. However, I disagree with your analysis. If the US had not opposed communism the world would be communist today. Nobody but the US caused the failure of communism. There were some helpers in the struggle against cummunism, but the US bore the brunt of it.
On another note, if the Republicans want to discourage Democratic voters they could let it be known that narcs will be patrolling the polls.

The Dallas Morning News gets hold of Clinton caucus "training materials," in which supporters are instructed to fight for procedural control of caucuses.

The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles."

It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serve as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness.

"The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions."

Some of the moments on the ground in Nevada showed how crucial technical control can be, particularly when -- there, as expected in Texas -- nobody has any idea what the rules are. Really makes you love the caucus process.

I saw it to. What should we do?

Xlib: Time for another history lesson. The anti-war movement of the 60''s, to which Bill Clinton was slightly involved, was not anti-American and probably saved countless thousands of lives, possibly even my own. In spite of my non-involvement, I appreciate that those of us in the Army during Vietnam had some people who cared enough about us to force the elite leaders of our government to respect the will of the people. The "domino effect" expansion of Communism that we were sent there to fight against, never materialized and most reasonable people consider the entire "adventure" a dismal mistake. Only those who stayed on the outer edge of the conflict, like the Cowardly Cowboy and *** Cheyney, would be stupid and cruel enough to send our youth back into another such needless conflict, which we will be paying for dearly for generations!

funny all the references to a politicans "vet status". I do believe Dole was a vet when he ran against bubba, who was at Oxford, not getting a degree, not inhaling but being very active in the anti-war movement against his country. So I don''t get the point.
As for "we weren''t at war then", well I do believe the title is still Commander in Chief so that does infer some sort of military status.
As for experience, well supposedly madame clinton has "35 years of experience". Since she''s only 60 I don''t get that particular lie on her part.
As for obama, empty suit, reads well and that''s about it.
One statement for those suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome. He''s not running. You better start listening real close to your candidates. Sounds like they want pure socialism and redistribution of wealth. I wonder if they''ll start with themseleves.
Hear the madame is filing a lawsuit in Texas over the voting rules.
Get ready folks, she''s gearing up.

just got back from movies. Whom are you talking about?

Read the farggin board morons.

[caliengineer]

Obama spent many years as a lawyer, and 4 years as a senator. When he gives himself 25 years'' credit, he''s just talking about his working years. So what!?

Obama is not a veteran OF ANYTHING.

The real experience comes through making things happen: like turning a state with the worst roads into one of the best; turning a deficit into a surplus. Working across the aisle? How about being a Republican elected in a Democratic state? Huckabee did all these. Forget about whether he was a pastor! So what? He is a singularly excellent leader, an outstanding, experienced leader. The globalists do not want you to notice this man. The papers (they own) attempt to marginalize him by painting him as "reverend" and "baptist."

Today, Rockefeller (read, globalist elite banking powerbroker) endorsed Obama. Hello? Obama is NOT change! Obama is part of the evil, hidden rule of private interest.

[j-whitman]

Jonesforch, yep me too.

[jonesforch]

Glad to see we are all still getting along.

[j-whitman]

Jonesforch,,,, Yep, actually an admirable record

[jonesforch]

Obama was a public servant for 20 years, State Senator .
