From Australia… "If you could spend one moment in my shoes, you could see what a drag it is to see you…"
Texas now has the honor of being our REDDEST STATE! The most Republicans by share in anything you can name, state wide elected officials, both state legislature, US congressmen, Senators, Supreme Court Justices and our system of elected judges. So it is very rare to see a Democrat interviewed on local television here in Houston which was the case on PBS over the weekend. Democrat Congressman Gene Green was repeatedly asked about 30 round clips and assault rifles and flat out refused to say anything negative about either, rather he answered with glowing "support for our 2nd Amendment".
It is well known that no candidate for president of the United States can win and be against capital punishment, it is just one of those facts of our violent nature. Here in Texas that drips down to all elected officials including the advocacy of 30 round clips. If Gene Green, or any of the few Democrats left in Texas were to suggest the need for any gun regulation there would be ZERO Democrats from Texas in Congress in 2013. After all, it is what we down here in Texas are most famous for, gun slingin’ and executions. They go together like love and marriage. AND WE ARE LOUDLY PROUD OF IT! Sure we are also proud of being the most polluted and undereducated state (sans Mississippi where Haley Barbour is now one of the top GOP candidates for President) but we don’t brag about it, well in public anyway.
