All 3 propositions had over 90% support with 77% of vote in, over a million voters.

Ron Paul won Primary with 70% and John Cornyn with 82%

[I still care]

Well, the ACLU is going to be busy tonight, trying to overthrow the will of the people in trying to keep fraud out of their elections.

[Will88]

Impressive support for enforcing immigration laws. Wonder if these propositions will receive any mention on national news programs?

[oprahstheantichrist]

"Wonder if these propositions will receive any mention on national news programs?"

Oh absolutely, they'll figure it out by tomorrow morning. Expect to hear things like "racist," "anti-hispanic" and "anti-immigration" in their coverage.

[Tex Pete]

Unfortunately, the propositions were only on Republican ballots.

Rats would never vote on such trivialities.

[levotb]

Well, even if Hillary becomes President, she’ll have an almost certain GOP-controlled House full of more conservatives than even in ‘94! I think the House is going to have another “conservative revolution”.

At the state level, the actions are exciting. Anti-Invasion conservatives are winning Fed. Ct. case after case. Hazelton’s loss will almost certainly be overturned. Most importantly, communities and cities all across American are passing strict and semi-strict anti-illegal alien and anti-employer of illegals laws. They are simply too numerous to mention here.

Sometimes it seems like Texas is really different from the rest of the country, like a land unto itself.

Shelley Sekula Gibbs

She won the primary for U. S. Representative District 22 with 28%. Wasn't this Delay's seat, and she lost 2 years ago as a write-in candidate?

[ARE SOLE]

Bump brother levotb ! All is not lost.

[Cacique]

I hope McCain is watching and learning what Americans really want.

[ricmc2175]

McCain doesn’t care what Americans want. He wants power and that means siding with the Georgetown crowd. It is why he left his first wife, why he deals with the Rats, why Hernandez is on his staff, why McCain-Fiengold, why . . .

[TexasRedeye]

I hope McCain is watching and learning what Americans really want.

More importantly for Texas, I hope Kay Bailey Hutchison is watching and learning what Texas want! She is the one who will be running for Gov. Good Hair's position and the one who gutted the border fence funding at the Senate level just about 3 months ago. She thinks she desperately needs the Latino vote in Texas if she ever hopes to become Governor and she can't be seen as a supporter of this "racists, bigoted" referendum even though over 90% of (Republican) Texans are clamoring for it! Like McCain, she doesn't care what Conservatives want!

“Sometimes it seems like Texas is really different from the rest of the country, like a land unto itself.”

Ya gotta love Texas.

Sometimes it seems like Texas is really different from the rest of the country, like a land unto itself.

You just now figuring that out?

Remember, we were our own nation at one time! And there are times I wish we still were!

[TexanByBirth]

She won the primary for U. S. Representative District 22 with 28%.

Actually Shelly Sekula Gibbs will be in a runoff with Pete Olson on April 8.

[Tex Pete]

I am really hopeful Texas will strengthen our laws. Hopefully, these initiatives will wake some Rspublicans up.

Rick Perry has been as woeful on illegals as GWB.

[Congressman Billybob]

No, Hillary as President (shudder) will not face an "almost certain GOP-controlled House." It will be a severely uphill battle for the GOP to retake control of the House. And, based on the responses from Freepers that one of your own is seeking to take back a must-have seat (NC 11th), it doesn't look like there's much commitment to the result you describe.

Sorry to sound negative, but I've always called 'em as I see 'em -- win, lose or draw.
