Regarding voting for Democrats...
 
I voted for the Democrat who ran against Jim Talent, who voted for the AWB back around 1998 or 2000 so...
 
The Democratic Party didn't support the guy at all. Maybe even worked against him.
 
His name was John Ross. He figured it was easier to take over the Dem machine than Missouri's GOP machine.

RIP Mr. Ross.

Hope they release the manuscript for his second novel.

I voted for a Democrat some years ago, Gerry Connolley.

I've known him for years, and while he's always been a liberal puke, I thought we had made some significant inroads into moderating his thinking on a number of subjects, including firearms, while he was a Fairfax County commissioner.

The second he goes to Washington, though?

Hard core anti-gunner and ultra liberal liberal.

I'll never make that mistake again.

I can't recall ever voting Democrat unless you count John McCain or the Bush's.

Someone mentioned the big switch in the South on the previous page.  Both my grandparents voted Democrat all their lives.  They didn't switch.  My home town was still largely Democrat for local elections at least up into the 90's.  Texas didn't switch R solidly until the mid-90's and the Clinton administration.  I don't think most people changed, just their kids don't vote the way they did.

Yup, Abbott's finished.

If you don't know who Styles is - well, I don't, either. Brit pop singer, apparently, and just recently had a starring role in some crazed, feminist film that no one's watching. Adios, Abbott.

A "breaking news!" flash just popped up on my phone.

There's apparently a big, weepy editorial (not breaking news) purporting to be hard hitting investigative journalism that *GASP* REVEALS THAT ABBOT USED COVID RELIEF MONEY TO BUILD ELEMENTS OF THE BORDER WALL!!!! *GASP*

https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/texas-covid-money-operation-lone-star/

Obviously the person making those allegations (and I hope to hell that it's true) is completely against such a use of funds.

But, interesting, he provides no information on how Covid relief funds were used elsewhere in the country... say such as Chicago ($280 million went to the Chicago Police Department), New York (used Covid relief funds to push critical race theory in public schools, as did California and Illinois), Washington, DC, or myriad other liberal controlled bastions of "property action and thought."

Interesting that the author makes NO references of the Federal vaccine mandates targeted at US citizens (but NOT immigrants). Sounds to me that securing the border against unvaccinated, untested potential Covid carriers is a logical use of Covid relief funds, and hopefully Abbot's administration will spin it that way.

I'm also betting, given the problems that the border crisis has been giving Texas for the first two years of the Biden administration, that Beto's team is going "this was not a particularly good time for this to come out because it's going to backfire on us really badly."

Be VERY interesting to see if they even mention it at all...

Beto is speaking on campus today, about a block away from my building. Tried watching a bit of the livestream but turned it off in disgust after a few minutes. Giant feelz-fest with the group taking turns stroking egos and supporting each other's uninformed opinions and pathetic vacuity.

My next door neighbors have  "Mothers against Abbott" and "BETO" political yard signs. (They had a BIDEN sign 2 years ago.)   :facepalm:

They're good people otherwise, so if they don't bring it up, neither will I.
