S’cuse me...ever heard of Zell Miller?

Ever heard of Phil Gramm?

Ever heard of Ralph Hall?

Congressman Ralph Hall from Rockwall, TX had the most conservative voting record in the U.S. House for many years - 100% - as a Democrat. He finally switched parties after he was white haired and elderly. When it came to voting for the Dem Speaker candidate, he didn’t. Voted “present” instead, all those years. Today Ralph Hall is a Republican, way into his 80s, and voted against raising the debt ceiling.

Phil Gramm, as a Congressman from rural East Central Texas, helped Ronald Reagan get his bills through Congress, while Gramm was a Democrat. He was not only a grown man but a college economics professor before finally switching to the Republican party.

Zell Miller never became a Republican, but he spoke at the Republican Convention and helped his chosen candidates any way he could. He said he would rather go back to Georgia and die a Democrat than continue in politics either as a Democrat in a left wing party, or change to a Republican...his father would never have understood or believed he would become a Republican, Zell said. He said he was too old to become anything else, but that the party had left him.

Rick Perry was born and raised in rural Texas. Republicans didn’t even exist there when he was coming of age. It took a lot of Texans many, many, many years to finally throw off their tradition and become Republicans. In the minds of generations of Democrats, Republicans were associated with Reconstruction after the Civil War and with Herbert Hoover.

Perry tried to hang on to the tradition of his generations of family members. By staying in as long as he did, all he proved was how hard it came to him to change party affiliation. I have given you examples to show just what a hard sell Republicans were to especially rural Texans and to a rural Georgian. Like in the movie and play, “Fiddler on the Roof”...tradition, tradition, tradition!

But he did change parties.

Where Perry was from, Paint Creek, you could not even run as a Republican if you wanted to, for a very long time. There was no apparatus there. No Republican Primary. No Republicans.

You understand nothing about Texas politics and political history.

Nothing.

Well said.It is the same all over the south and I always wondered if this applied to TX and or Perry.It is the diehard JFK democrats.I had an Uncle (God rest his soul) that right before he died he changed to republican and voted for Bush.It took a long time for the diehard democrats of old to come out of the closet. Back in the days when you didn't ask anyone who they voted for (it was a cardinal sin)the democrats were the good guys.Most would roll over in they're graves knowing what came of the democrat party.

I really wish Perry would break out of the PC of watching what he says.Bernanke is treasonous. He is going againt this country at her heart, the economy.Screw Rove.

My dad switched from a dem to a pubbie. It was hard for him.

He said it was because of FDR and his anti-business efforts.

My dad absolutely loathed LBJ, too, and welfare, which he saw as stealing someone’s soul and individualism.

Because Perry went into politics and started running for office, it actually was even more difficult for him.

He ran as a Democrat to get started where he was from, because that is what you did, period. You didn’t run as a Republican in fact you couldn’t. No GOP infrastructure. His whole family as far back as he knew, were Democrats. His parents who still lived there where he lived were Democrats. All his neighbors, etc.

That didn’t mean they accepted all of what the Democrats did, but they tried to pick and choose. Perry says he supported Gore in ‘88 because Gore was, he believed, the most conservative Dem running that year. When Dukakis became the nominee, Perry says he voted for George H W Bush for President.

Many, many Texas Dems became ticket splitters. They would vote in the general perhaps for a Republican Presidential nominee, maybe, eventually, a Senate candidate. But in House races and for the Texas Legislature, judges and cabinet members and for their local city councils, etc they continued to vote Democrat.

Until fairly recently...

Mi>Until fairly recently...

How correct you are. I live in Sam Rayburns home county....and this last time around in 2010 there was not one Democrat elected in the local elections. The Republicans had a clean sweep....truly unbelievable of what has happened to the Democrat party in this the former bastion of their rule. In the 50's all the way up to the 80's they used to have difficulty finding Republican election judges...Actually having first having a weekend place in Fannin county in the mid 90's and calling it our permanent residence (for insurance purposes)there was few registered Republicans when we went to vote....didn't take long to find one's name!

“Let’s Take Those Sons-Of-Bitches Out”

All that these Progressive scu&bags know how to do is dare people to react to their adolescent, psychotic,
war-metaphor-laced speech that smacks of school-boy,
lunch-stealing, childishness.

Instead of speaking like the psychotic, adolescent
punks that they are, why don’t they stand up and say what their motivations are and what they’re going to do and actually go and do it instead of threatening people?
(Any visits by the Secret Service to this scu&bag?)

NOthing but a bunch of subversive punks.

IMHO

“Is it just me, or does Trumka look like a retarded person on a permanent temper tantrum?”

Please do not insult “retarded persons”.

Mr. Trumpka is not “retarded”. He is a dedicated Progressive revolutionary with a beer b&lls, macho-man
attitude that reveals his adolescence and need for psychiatric treatment.

IMHO

I am sure he understands all the implications.

Same thing with the Congressional Black Caucus.

Same thing with the MSM after the Tucson and Norway massacres attempting to blame “rightwingers” and TEA partiers. Wrong both times, but it doesn’t matter, the damage was done.
