The counties around us are the same. If your not in Ag or a business that supports Ag you aren't doing anything.
I like Asa. Unless there's something I don't know about he's the best hope.Red Bull Breeder":ylihj1nf said:You surely didn't want to vote for either one we got on the governers race did you Jed. Both of them need hung.

In a nutshell. when the carpet baggers came into the south the Texas Legsilature in a rare moment of clarity stripped power from the Gov and gave it to the Lt Gov. That way when the yankees named the gov he did not have the power anymore. To give you a example of the Lt Gov's power here in Texas, lets say a bill was coming out that everyone liked. The Lt Gov can say I dont like the bill and you will not get the chance to vote on it, period.
I'll have to check into it then. The other is no good too though so then that leaves us where we are most of the time.Red Bull Breeder":1j1opcth said:My dislike for him started way back when he was the US Attorney for the Western District. Sorry SOB in my book Jed.

It's not the GOP that wants to legislate away my 2nd amendment rights.
It's not the GOP that wants to ignore illegal immigration and not enforce current standing state and federal statutes.
It's not the GOP that wants to divest me and others of wealth or income.

The Lt Gov is president of the senate. If they are of opposing parties they have to really work together
to get a bill on the floor and passed.
