Texas: Republican Party

City Council Member Toni Lawrence has decided not to challenge ethically challenged Jerry Eversole. Why?
"We have a lot of mutual friends, we really do, and it was really tough on a lot of those mutual friends," Lawrence said. "It was putting pressure on those people of who they were going to support and what they were going to do."
This is an indication that ethics is just another word for nothing left to steal. Lawrence had an opportunity to challenge one of the most unethical County Commissioner in the history of Harris County, and yet declined. Lawrence and the republican party of Harris County obviously thinks what Jerry Eversole has done with his donors money is within ethical guidelines of the party.

According to a poll conducted by the Houston Chronicle, City Council Member Ron Green is leading the pack of three for City Controller in front of Pam Holm and MJ Khan. Houston city elections are non partisan and for Holm and Khan that may be a good thing.

Over the last decade the Republican party hasn't been a very good watchdog of our tax dollars leading us into a great recession and the collapse of our auto industries, wall street, the housing market, and the economy in general. Under the keen eye of cuddles, the school yard lap dog, our debt nearly doubled and left the next administration with a record deficit and a fiscal hole that will take years to get out of.

How times have changed.

The republican party after losing their reputation on family values, fiscal responsibility, being conservative, and strong on defense, is leading the drive to become the kings of hypocrisy. They are now demanding federal stimulus money, the very money they voted against, to give NASA a 16% increase in funds. From the Houston Chronicle:

The lawmakers asked Obama to divert $3 billion from the unspent portion of the economic stimulus package that continues to be doled out as part of an economic recovery plan stretching over two years.

The two senators and 19 Republican House members who signed the letter voted against the economic stimulus in February; the seven Democrats who signed the letter voted for it.

If you are not allowing your elementary child to watch the speech by the President of the United States encouraging staying in school, taking responsibility for yourself, and staying off of drugs, here are a few conservative family activities that reflect the spirit and values of the republican party that you will enjoy:

1. Have a prayer ring at the school flag pole. Pray that the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior stricken the President and his family with cancer.
2. Take the time to teach your young children how to correctly and effectively say the N word.
3. Attend a cross burning ceremony with the KKK.
4. Sit outside of a breast cancer treatment center and laugh at the bald ladies then enjoy an ice cream cone afterward.
