Texas has put a Republican in the governor's chair once again, enhancing the Republican agenda. Go ahead call me crazy, I am in favor of common sense, logic, sound judgment and smart leadership rooted in truth and reality. That means I can't support the Republican agenda. I am a liberal Democrat and I make no apologies for it. Hell I am proud of it.
Republicans scare me with their smoke and mirrors, their quick double talk and their expensive campaign tactics, advertisements and distractions none of which are rooted in truth or reality.
If the truth be known, there are a lot of liberal Democrats but many of them run from the label. They whisper it like you would whisper "I am a Nazi". Liberal is not a dirty word! If you feel that blacks should be allowed to set in the front of the bus, that women should have the right to vote, that Vietnam was a mistake and that Saddam Hussein had no ties to al Qaeda or anything to do with 9-11, then you are a liberal even if you don't want to admit it.
There is no law that forbids anyone from holding their leaders accountable and it's sure not unpatriotic to speak out about that accountability. We can't demand freedom of speech then turn around and say "Please don't say bad things about me because of my liberal thinking". You got to be grown up and take your hits. Yes I will admit, I am a liberal so go ahead and fire away!
I guess when I read this that I shouldn't assume that this implies that liberal democrats don't use smoke and mirrors, that they never lie, that republicans want blacks to sit on the back of the bus and women not to vote. i think both parties lie. One says your own your own buddy and I'm taking what I can, and the other says we feel your pain and will take complete care of you, you don't need to work or anything like that. Both are buying votes with promises for this and that that they know they can't fulfill. Call me a cynic but I think all politicians are liars by nature, so to pick one party over the other is to say the lies of this party aren't as bad as this one.
