Marshallete, We Texans do love us some red heads, strawberry blonds are worth fighting over

Now back on track, or post as you will.
The next election will tell, all else is conjecture. I have my opinion that 2010 will be exactly like 1994, a huge turn over. It takes a lot to get voters or just people off their asses, but I think this current admin is one of them. Got another year and change to find out.
Onrecess, I'm from Houston, great place to be from, most of my family was there and now dead or moved, with their new police chief and his hiring habits, the DA's are horrible as far as ccw, you got a pistol, regardless of license or not, it gets confiscated, and hopefully you don't go to jail, that is corruption, not following the rules even though the Texas legislature went to great effort to make the law inpenetrable, what can be done, it will take the Rangers going in and arresting the chief to make a difference, and that is not on their radar.
Next, all legislators are crooks, and billion or millionaires? I like my reps, that is the rub with it, I know other places in the country where there are basically lords or barons, but the constituency won't vote them out. My senators not so much, but vote my way 90%, some of the 10% really hurt. My congress people I really like, I helped one defeat another, and his district got switched due to gerrymandering, and he is no longer my rep, but, I keep tabs on him, as I fought for him, my only complaint is he said 2 tours and no more, it has now been 5, but I don't want to replace him. This is the conundrum.
I'm 1st to say throw the bums out, all of them , and lets start anew. In the end, that is the only power we have!!! but it is not a power unless we use it. I know libs who are conservative, which I'm sure you know I am by now. and conservatives with thin spines. On your previous arguments about the current and past state of administrations, Carter cowtowed to the terrorists, and we had a long stand off with Iran holding our people hostage, that ended on inauguaration night with Reagan coming to office, ( note I did not say to Power ) . Clinton allowed Bin Laden to escape with full knowledge. George H, signed an executive order banning imports of so called Assault weapons, that cost him the election, and dumbasses like me believed Bill. Dumbasses like me worked phone banks and sign building parties and brought about the 1994 turnover. Dumbasses like me will man phonebanks again and sign building parties for the next leader, I am sorry to say, I don't know who, I like Sarah Palin, but she probably won't be a front runner for pres, but vice pres.
Cheney, whats not to like, he was a vice pres, but contributed, and backed up his pres, more than George W did himself, He did not go for pres, just did his job and walked away, but is still savvy enough to give good argument to BO. If you consider and you should, the candidates former jobs, or vocations, it will have baggage, as all of us probably do. But what does it matter against what they actually can do for us. George W's wire tapping in a time of war, is acceptable, We don't call it a war anymore, but why? Troops all around the world, and yet we are not at WAR. After the war, these things should be called back. I guess after we disarm all our nukes.We did declare war this time, not like Vietnam.
