Hear, hear!! I just read about the Vote for Change tour today:
http://www.cincypost.com/2004/08/05/sing080504.html

Wish it were coming to Tejas... There are lots of us here who would
support it.

That would be nice, but it's unlikely.
Texas has historically voted Republican no matter what. <sigh>
But, that's not going to keep me away from the polls this year!

Not necessarily, remember Ann Richards and Lloyd Bentsen, they were Dems.
As well as LBJ. There can be hope for Texas yet.

Most of the mayors of the state's largest city, Houston, have been
Dems, as well.

Maybe someday. Just not anytime soon...

Kathryn Whitmire came out very early on in support of *** rights....

Texas has an interesting history of *very* progressive
politicians/pundits...add Jim Hightower and Molly Ivins to the list....

LBJ was one of the most progressive politicians ever - say what you will
about him but he came from a pretty poor background and knew what real
grinding poverty was....it's unfortunate that his image is tarnished by
Vietnam.

In further political news didja hear that that IDIOT Alan Keyes is
apparently going to run here in Illannoy for the GOP Senate seat in
opposition to Barack Obama? Jeez, the dolt couldn't win in his home state
of Maryland...what are people thinking?

Me neither! I will *always* exercise my right to vote, no matter what.

"Waffles" Kerry and "Shark" Edwards?

Tell me another good one, Boss.

Frankly I'd like to see a Badnarik presidency, but in my dreams. So the
smallest "big gummint" will have to do. That would be Bush, in this case.

See above. Daddy taught me that liars can never be trusted
while I was growing up. Taught me to at least keep it to a minimum.
Seems dictator Bush was never taught that lesson.

I'm not overly fond of Kerry either, but we need to get Bush
out of there before he bankrupts the country!
Kerry, to me, appears to at least be the lesser of two evils.

Tejas, as in get-ready-to-give-it-back-to-Mejico???

Your precious Waffle Boy could probably win a lot of otherwise Bush votes
close to the border by promising to crack down like crazy on the blatant
illegal immigration. Bush is way too easy on the Mexican border. But I
harbor no illusion that Ketchup Guy would tighten it.
