Texas Republicans Inspired By Bush Speech

Posted by nytexan

You have to wonder if Republicans in Congress heard the same State of the Union speech as the rest of us did. Bush’s remix speech of past addresses seemed to please the republicans. They felt inspired, sentimental and happy that Bush proved that he was still commander in chief.
I particularly like the Kevin Brady’s remarks [...]

Senate Should Condemn Rush Limbaugh “phony soldiers”

Posted by nytexan

Yesterday on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh felt it necessary to call soldiers who oppose the war “phony soldiers.” The GOP, who rushed to condemn MoveOn.org and distract from the real problems at hand need to condemn Rush Limbaugh in the same fashion.

John Cornyn Consumed With John Cornyn

Posted by nytexan

In an effort to help our friend get veterans’ survivor benefits after the death of her husband, BossKitty decided to e-mail our representative and both Senators. Much to my surprise an email reply came from Cornyn within two days. Unfortunately it was an auto reply, you know the kind “don’t reply to this email” [...]
