The Obama donkeys are in Texas under the name “Battleground Texas”, aka “The Jackass Patrol”, and their tricks are as tired as a jumped-the-shark President.
Their game is to fashion attacks out of what they believe to be the most vulnerable Republican issue. They tailor these attacks to attract the groups the Jackass Patrol thinks are most likely to vote, if pushed, for the abortion queen, gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. Right now they are trying desperately to use voter ID to get senior citizens and women to vote for Davis.
The problem they have is Texans have never wanted to be like everyone else, so using peer pressure doesn’t work very well here.
Case in point: the first issue they thought they could ride to victory was, in fact, abortion. They had their candidate step out for abortion to set up her big gubernatorial win, and boy did the media machine get revved up for the project.
Guess which issue she now avoids like the plague? You got it – abortion. Mark that 1-0 in favor of the state that could care less what New York, DC, and LA think about anything – the state in which the mainstream leftist media has the least power.
The left is also reputed to use voter fraud tactics, and their attack on voter ID is likely more of the same. After all, voter fraud is what Voter ID is designed to stop, and why the left can’t abide it.
It’s very likely an attack on elections integrity in the Lone Star State, but by a Jackass Patrol whose chief donkey is not the beast of burden he once was.
The Jackass Patrol is also trying to make hay out of the “civil war” in the GOP. In truth, the war in the GOP has been hot for a long time, only for years one side was not firing their weapons. The establishment GOP has ridden and abused conservatives for decades. Now that they, and their pals across the aisle, have our country on the brink of disaster, conservatives are returning fire. So far conservatives are performing beautifully. The establishment GOP is being forced to run more and more on who they really are, and less and less as imitation conservatives. This is highly dangerous and experimental for them.
Still, the GOP fight will determine how honest voters force GOP officials to be - nothing more, nothing less. If it results in a third party, it will be establishment characters who are forced to infiltrate the conservative party, not the other way around since they’ll have no voting base. That is, unless Wall Street CEOs and Chamber of Commerce members are allowed roughly 10,000 votes each.
Texas is a conservative place, which means Democrats will never be a better choice for them than Republicans. The same is true for the business lobby. Conservatives love commerce, just not rigged commerce. The left has a very long history of making the business community the main course of their political feast, even after feeding them some drinks and appetizers.
A famous Frenchman once said, “hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue”. What it basically means is as bad as hypocrisy is, it is still better than out-and-out evil. After all, a hypocrite marries himself to doing some good in order to keep up appearances. Texans are smart enough to take a conservative impersonator over a liberal until they can get a real conservative.
Meanwhile, conservative imposters like Mark McCaig, employee of shadow Democrat boss Steve Mostyn, are zipping up their sheep suits to try to blend into the conservative crowd for now. The media are dutifully carrying the phony voter suppression narratives fed to them by the Jackass Patrol, and the Texas Tribune is putting out polls that even fellow liberal journalists have so little respect for that they refer to them as “internet surveys”.
All in all, it is a fun show watching the jackasses and jennies walk around Texas like they own the place, running old plays with a damaged brand.
