The Texas GOP needs to go back to campaign school. Scared of Libertarians, really? Then our party is using the wrong message! It sickens me to know that the Democrats only need five seats to take the majority. This is unacceptable. The Republicans will lose those seats if they continue to ignore Texans. I will vote in hopes of keeping GOP control, but once we do, the next step will be to oust Craddick. Can’t the Republicans find a better leader?

Don’t fail me GOP, and especially don’t fail Texas. You’re already walking a fine line.

The media loves to give the GOP a bad wrap for being corrupt while they virtually ignore Sen. Dodd and the other Democrats that are so vile.

Remember the hullabaloo surrounding the delegates in Michigan and Florida. A travesty. When are the voters going to get fed up with the Democratic Party? I mean, taking voting privileges away is not new to them. But at least golden(brown) boy-Barack Obama is doing what he does best, presenting a faux front of unity by supporting a full seating of the delegates.

They should have never been stripped of their delegates for trying to get their primaries earlier. That, however, is another story. Then the DNC was going to give them some of the delegates! What is going on in America. It’s bad enough we have to nominate using “superdelegates” because the Democratic Party believes the American people don’t know what’s good for them.

The DeanNC is just nuts!

Democratic candidate Barack Obama may have some sense after all? He’s now at odds with the NAACP over reparations for slavery. It’s been 143 since the slaves were freed. There have been plenty of hardships for the black people after the Civil War, but to suggest that they need compensation for their ancestors’ plight is just plain ridiculous.

Here is something I think I can agree with Obama on: The best reparations are not handouts. What good is a government hand out going to do? Seriously, they have all the same superficial opportunities, and they should do their best to capitalize on them. Where Obama is wrong though, is that he still wants government intervention in employment and education. At least he is sensible on reparations. Should he consult his wife first, or has she found a love for this country all of a sudden?

The NAACP admits that the reparations should be “broad and sweeping.” But, with their track record, I wouldn’t trust them.

Let’s hope Obama sticks to his guns on this issue. He needs to find something to stick to eventually.
