[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 28234, member: 39"] Democrats might not take over Texas but they owned it for many, many decades. Since the War Between the States until very recently Texas has been a state full of yellow dog Democrats. The old saying was that they would vote for a yellow dog as long as it was running on the Democrat ticket. Due to 1) the fading of carryover resentment of the carpetbaggers in Reconstruction days (much justified at the time) and 2) a complete abandonment of basic conservative principles, the state has evolved into a Republican stronghold. Not too long ago there were many good Democrats in Austin and Washington. It’s like the old boy said, [i]I didn’t leave the Democratic party. They left me.[/i] Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
