I don't think they are capable of learning. They obviously didn't learn when they served us up with Dole. They didn't learn from the highly successful overthrow of the contract with America.

We had several candidates that actually stood for something. The Republicans picked the most Democratic of the litter. They ran a poor campain. because Conservatives couldn't stand to get behind the likes of McCain who in the past was a key person in getting Democratic Agenda through the Senate. No support means no money, no excitement no votes.

I like to look at it as though we are an example of how to make it work. And Show the rest of the country on how it should be done We will continue to succeed while the other states fail.


We in Texas don't subsidize much housing so its pretty affordable , the places where it does get expencive are in the Liberal enclaves. Where the government inerferes the most is in places like Massachusetts, California, and New york where housing is obscene.

Job growth in Texas is good, as it is in most states with no Income Taxes.

Our Banks don't seem to have the problems the East Coast Banks are having.

Ok, The Presidential Race was a disaster, Both Houses are more Democratic. But, it wasn't a total loss especially for us Texans,

We Dumped Lampson. in District 22.
Cornyn Keeps his Senate seat.
Pat Lykos defeated Democrat C.O. "Brad" Bradford,
We in Texas are still a free people and avoided the socialist option.
Our Guns are now more valuable today than they used to be.
We in Texas can still proudly call ourselves Red Staters. We had nothing to do with becoming an Obamanation. They can't blame us while the rest of the country goes down the tubes. We can hold our heads in in the fact that we are smarter than much of the rest of the country.
