Dear Centrist (Middle of the Electorate),
Look, I'm a nobody...just another disappointed activist who's been working for several decades for the GOP; I can't claim to speak for anyone. But I can tell you that most of us in the GOP just want a gov't that leaves people alone.
Yes, we want illegal immigration stopped, but many of us would give a path to the illegals who have been here awhile and been otherwise law-abiding IF we could get rid of Birthright Citizenship. And we do need to curtail the legal immigration if we are going to maintain even a semblance of what we used to refer to as Western Civilization.
Most of us don't support endless wars either. As I've written elsewhere, if Trump wanted to end the threat in Iran, he should have just bombed it, told Iran that if they continued, he'd do it again, and then came home. And the money-laundering scheme of Ukraine needs to end too, as it appears to be little more than USAID for the military industrial complex.
Yes, I recognize that many of our folks in the legislature and the state offices appear to be dedicated to the destruction of the public education system in favor of vouchers, but even as a long-time critic of public ed and supporter of choice options, I and other Republicans recognized that a top-down destructive approach that busts the state budget to establish voucher is not the way to go.
It's true - Abbott had his way with the entire legislature last cycle, and stuffed a dubious voucher plan down the state's throat, but even that program had some good elements to it, and it should not be simply slain.
I know that you guys went for the other party this cycle, but I'd ask you to keep an open mind in two years. And if you are a conservative who thinks that this cycle was full of unforced errors, PLEASE get involved before the primary, and help us right the ship before the whole state is unsalvable.
There are other conservative states, but if Texas goes blue permanently, and the takers keep outvoting the makers, it's lights out for this country; no state will last long because everything gets federalized.
You can't just move your way out of it. There is no one coming to save the day - it is up to us.
This, 100%. If spending is going up, then there is more slavery. If spending goes down, less slavery.
Liberals want to pretend that they can accomplish their goals only by enslaving the rich, but it has never worked out that way.
Note: slavery for a good cause is still evil. – at Commerce, TX
Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax. If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

Why do I get the feeling that next year's Senate inquisitions to figure out what's wrong with the economy will resemble something out of the end of an Ayn Rand novel.

The City of Arlington is shameless, seeking to give the Cowboys $273M without a vote on the gift...a practice we outlawed 250 years ago. #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation

What's wrong with Texas that we haven't had a state referendum on whether we should have a state gun? – at Kennedale, TX

Ask what party is most likely to support this nonsense and then go vote for the one that stopped USAID (king of grifter programs).
One NGO made $115,000,000 to traffic children across the United States.
This is how it worked:
- Kids trafficked by cartel
- Sent to an NGO
- NGO receives millions of your tax dollars from the government
- Then sends kid to “sponsor,” no biometrics, no DNA testing
- Never see or hear from the child again
These NGOs are more secure than the border, with high spiked gates, cameras, and no access to the front desk. Ask a question and they will call the police. This is why it's important to vote.

Well, she's a Democrat... – at Kennedale, TX
NEW: @GinaHinojosaTX denies she voted in 2019 against the constitutional amendment to ban a state income tax in Texas. That contradicts legislative records.

Its always so cool when folks make public statements which beg for a response, but they are so cowardly that they won't allow replies because they fear the ratio. – at River Oaks, TX

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
Guess the president. Hint: He put the libs where they belonged and took 49 of 50 states in his re-election.
An American president is talking about Los Angeles and San Diego being “taken out.”
Where the hell is Congress?
This is dangerous. The time to stand up is NOW.

I'm not admitting that I've actually done this...but I'd not deny it, either.

This quote is from The Road to Serfdom, wherein Hayek was warning liberals from their willingness to work with communists.
But today's liberals are, almost by definition, incapable of logic, and the Democrats' race to militaristic collectivism appears to be approaching warp speed.
It would be cool if the GOP demonstrated better leadership on the matter. – at Arlington, TX
It is Big Pharma tools like this guy who make us all question science. Anyone who can't name five human inventions that have saved more lives than vaccines is not trying: the wheel; soap; electricity; the internal combustion engine; the microprocessor; the light bulb...all of these and many others have saved more lives than vaccines.
One of my favorites is the story of how "washing hands" was opposed by status quo doctors like @DrNeilStone. Until Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis said in 1850 that doctors should do so..."status quo" doctors, ridiculed the idea, essentially asserting the doctors were clean and could not possibly be spreading germs. It was doctors and their "settled science" who drummed him out of business and into an insane asylum because they were so offended at the idea.
You can be pro-vax if you want, or anti-vax, or whatever, but don't make a fool out of your position by asserting nonsense suggesting that vaccines are the greatest invention of humans. Good grief.

Looks like "the science" may not be so settled. – at Kennedale, TX
After an FBI investigation with our DOJ partners, Dr. Fauci’s associate, David Morens, just pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a scheme to avoid FOIA requests and the Federal Records Act connected to COVID-19 research grants.
The FBI uncovered that Morens, Co-Conspirator 1, Co-Conspirator 2, and others conspired during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud the United States after the National Institutes of Health terminated Co-Conspirator 1’s grant.
NIH terminated the grant, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.
Mr. Morens and his co-conspirators then agreed in writing to intentionally hide their communications from public view by corresponding through Morens’s personal Gmail account rather than his official NIH email account.
This FBI investigation remains ongoing. No one is above the law.

"The richest man in the world is an insecure pathetic loser," said the nobody who doesn't want anyone to comment on her public post that exposes herself as a bot, or at best, insecure and pathetic.

Weird when people post opinions like they are fact, and then give that post to the public, but deny people the ability to respond with a comment limitation.
It's almost like they are insecure, unable to defend their position, and know that they are just spouting nonsense, like our NPC friend here, @atRachelGilmore.
