1. At best it was even money. This is the crap that makes people cynical of the political process ...

... As Democrats we need to redouble our efforts and not allow this stuff to suppress the vote.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Not surprised. Crooks of the same feather all hang together.

If you looked at the voting, it was very partisan. Figures.

7. Paxton ought to complete the effect.

Start dressing in double-breasted pinstripe suits and snap-brim fedora hats, a la Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart. Smoke big cigars and practice rolling quarters across his knuckles. Never appear anywhere in public without thinly-dressed women and a couple of guys openly displaying tommy guns.

Shit, he might as well. It's not as if Texas Republicans will ever make him pay any price for it...

8. How can you expect them to vote against a "brother in Christ"?
