83. Something I never understand..and yes, it is disappointing
Repuke related things happen in every other state...yet comments are then focused on the specific repuke or repuke-backed group and not the state. Not the case with Texas :(

I partially blame national level Dem pols. We have become the fly over state for them. Know what it is like to live here and want to go to a election year rally knowing your only chance is to go over to New Mexico--which might as well be the other side of the world if you live in North East Texas like I do. Not exactly a day trip.
Any cameo appearance by national level pols is in the rich enclaves of Dallas where they drop in for an hour or two and then you get to see them go straight back to airport with a few million extra in their election account. Then they fly off to Austin and Houston and repeat the process.

And then there is the biggest problem, carpet bagger chimpass and his cronies will always be associated with this state. Yet there is no anger for Ohio which gives us Boehner..no generalized comments about Minnesota which gives us Bachmann. And...no anger towards Wisconsin when it came to the repukes there.

Just somethings to think about before one hits the post message button. Is there a repuke or repuke group in YOUR state that you would resent being associated with just because of where you happen to live?

If you lived in the USA during chimpass' regime, would you be upset if someone said "well you lived there, you must have supported him, you deserve what you got...etc.."
