Racism and Sexism in Texas

Gotta love Rob Rogers and his spot-on political cartoonage. Did you know that at the Texas Republican convention they're selling buttons that read, and I'm paraphrasing: If Obama wins will we still call it the White House? No one mongers fear the way they do down in the Lone Star State. Bunch of ten gallon asshats if you ask me. I'm sure that there are some lovely people who are native Texans. Molly Ivens, Ann Richards...oh wait, they're both dead. Ok, there are some really great dead Texans. But what are the living doing down there? I just hope those Texans who are liberal, progressive, or even moderately moderate have emerged from their collective state of unconsciousness to finally wake up and make the coffee. Our country is in a fine mess, both politically and economically. Anyone who can't see that is on the Bushie payroll because the rest of us are squeezing our budgets just to fill the gas tank.
Simply put, we need massive change. Social change, healthcare change, energy change, and we need to quit letting fundamentalist doomsday cult 'Christians' dictate one iota of government policy. Anyone who actually wants to see the end of days come about is not the sort of person you want contributing to a longterm visionary plan.
I'm happy and feel privileged that I can vote for a man who the Republicans clearly fear beyond all reason and common sense. Let the fits of apoplexy in Texas begin!
