Oldshooter, I would like to think that these Democrats of your area are changing for the good, but I am not a trusting man. I believe it is more likely they expect a voter rebellion against the Democratic party in your area, and are making the change as a matter of survival of THEIR CAREER.
If I lived in your area, I would be more for checking THEIR VOTING RECORDS, which is by the way PUBLIC RECORD. "VOTING RECORDS" ARE THE TRUE TALE OF THE TAPE. Besides that, I haven't seen many Republicans worth supporting in years. They have voting records too, and most of the time their speeches are NOTHIN like their records. Their counting on you NOT LOOKING.
I received an email this morning from a friend that is supporting a CHRISTIAN CONSTITUTIONALIST CANDIDATE, for a run against our State Rep. Ralph Hall. Hall has been in office TWENTY EIGHT YEARS, and his voting record is not at all the way he portrays himself. At the last Tea Party here in my County Seat, he attended. He's running scared, and as you know Kay Bailey wants out of D.C. and into the Texas Governor's office. Not if I can help it!
