Anyone else watch Beto on Colbert last night? If not, you should. He nailed the interview. The guy is very, very impressive. I've been thinking for awhile now that O'Rourke is going to pull off an upset and what I saw last night reinforced that feeling. We're looking at a future star of the Democratic Party, in my opinion, growing into the role before our eyes. Cruz is getting desperate. The GOP party apparatus is freaking out over the possibility of losing what they had considered a "safe' Senate seat. The kicker? No one likes Ted Cruz. No one outside of his family. Maybe his dog, if he has a dog. This could be the biggest upset since John Tower took the seat vacated by Lyndon Johnson in the 1961 special election, becoming the first elected Republican Senator from Texas since Reconstruction. LBJ had resigned his seat on becoming VP under Jack Kennedy. Tower's surprise victory broke the ice on the hold Democrats had on Texas politics and things began to change. I think we are seeing the same significant shift today when Beto O'Rourke beats Ted Cruz. The same gravity, but breaking the other way. In my humble opinion.
Thanks, FB. Maybe I've followed Texas politics too long, but that's how I see it. That's what my tea leaves are telling me. It doesn't hurt that my significant other was up to her neck in politics as a state executive working with the Lege and helping to create legislation for over 30 years. She knows a heck of a lot of people and they say things. The last several years we haven't had a Democratic bumper sticker on one of our cars for fear that it could cost her her job. It's gotten that bad in Austin. When it came to her work, she was always non-partisan, but people today can't seem to believe that you can separate your political leanings from your duties working for the State of Texas. It didn't use to be that way. Times have changed, and not for the better. She retired not too long ago and it was like a great weight lifted from her shoulders. Still keeps up with things, though, and with her friends at the capital.
Well sure, they call themselves "progressives", and that's the funniest bit of all. Anyway hero, you are free to believe that regressive politics going by the name of progressive politics is a good thing and the rest of the world can know better.
Regressive politics - lol The world does know better and that is why those things you and your likes abhor (e.g. gun control, universal healthcare , environmental protection etc) are practiced by most of the developed countries. But hey, you have the luxury of deceiving a large group of ignorant people. Will see how long that lasts for though. The guys in NC are about to be flooded (literally) with the consequences of electing people with your kind of thinking.
LOL pants on head r****ded hot takes like this is what prevents people from taking you seriously. If your goal is to be more than laughed at learn to be better.
Guess you have no rebuttals but then morons do what morons do https://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/t...rolina-coast-to-the-kochs/Content?oid=3084685 that is one of those tings you think is right? Lets see how much value those same properties have after this storm.
LOL there's no point in seriously rebutting any of the nonsense you are spewing because you aren't a serious person. You legit think that voting for certain candidates causes hurricanes....I mean, that's Alex Jones kind of stuff. I assume your intent is to be nothing but a joke and you are doing a damn good job of it. .
If you're gonna call a whole place in Texas a "shithole" I'm sorry but I have to ask why? I get the Army medical stuff, but did you ever actually spend time there? Off base? More than a "here's your pass, come back later" kind of thing? Comparably...how much of a "shithole" was San Antonio? Or Killeen?
Wrong moron - voting for people with idiotic thinking like yours is why science and rising sea levels were ignored by the NC republican legislature, leading to poorer preparedness for the incoming storm in NC.
That's crazy about the whole partisan fear for those working in State politics. When I lived in Texas I knew and my family was friends with several folks working in the state government. I was young but I don't remember it being that bad at the time. That's really a mess and change for the worse. My family many of which are Republicans can't stand Cruz and would love to see him lose. I would be happy for them to not have to be a Texas Republican who was against their own senator.
willie is getting blasted on facebook by all the trumpublicans and cruz supporters. anybody who is surprised at what willie is doing doesnt know s*** about the man and isnt even a real fan of his music.
