From a historical perspective, the State's political divisions generally fell along pro-business, "John Connally Democrats" versus populist "Ralph Yarborough Democrats". Both groups tended to be culturally conservative back then.Jusme wrote:I agree with TAM,
Texas has only been a so called "conservative State for a relatively short time. We were dyed in the wool Democratic governed for most of our history.
We have even had several former Democrats change parties, including former Governor Connely, so "conservative" is a tenuous, and relative term here.
All that aside, I agree with the need for modern conservative vigilance.
