Apparently
the Tea Party held a reception at a local high school football stadium in a response to PresidentObama's visit to the area during which radio idiot Marc Davis and his ilk urged all those attending to vote a straight Republican ticket. (Since the affair was paid for by the Republican Party, he was undoubtedly preaching to the choir.) What these jerks failed to tell you is that earlier in the week
every single Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives (except for one from Louisiana and another from Delaware) voted against:
- Providing $813 million that will go directly to Texas school districts for teachers and education staff support
- Lowering Texas' budget deficit, caused by 12 years of Republican mismanagement, by $850 million.
- Putting more cops and firemen on our city streets
- Closing corporate tax loopholes that for companies that ship jobs overseas.
Come to think about it, I understand why Republicans continue to vote against improving education - a more intelligent electorate will see through their lies.

. . . and why are any of those things the responsibility of the federal government? Every one of them is a state or local government responsibility and should be funded by state or local taxpayers. It is the heighth of greed and stupidity to force taxpayers in North Dakota and New York to pay for Texas teachers and the State of Texas' budget. They have their own budget to pay for. Stop sticking your pig face in the federal trough.
