  1. But being pro-choice does not have to be about being pro-killing babies, right? It can be about giving women the respect and decency and same rights men have, right? It can be about working toward preventing abortions and then taking care of babies that aren't aborted. It can be about taking care of the poor, the meek, the disenfranchised, right? It can be about how Jesus lived his life and helping those who need it the most when they need it the most, right?
  2. Any Christian who doesn't run as a Democrat does not understand Jesus's teachings. Being pro-choice is not anti-Bible, God or Jesus. There are plenty of ways to work for alternatives to abortions, to teach sex education, to provide birth control, to improve the adoption process, and to take care of impoverished children after they are born. All of these policies and literally every single other Democratic position is in line with Jesus's teachings and Christian values.
  3. I agree. Straus is a good Republican who kept the right wing loons in check for a long time. The Republicans will only get worse now that he is not seeking re-election and will no longer be speaker. Villalba is a good one as well. I disagreed with his school marshal program but outside of that, he was a Reagan conservative. I still have no clue how he lost to that crazy Empower Texans candidate. I hope she loses the election.
  4. its the daily hour of hate!
  5. it looks like Rs party ID advantage in early voting is down 11% points from 2014.
  6. well given that all of the urban centers went heavily for Hillary in '16, it can only be a good thing for Beto that the urban population centers are turning out in record numbers. There just aren't that many R's in those areas any more. If the urban population centers continue to turn out and break records then all Beto has to do is convince enough of the rural voters to vote his way that drops the Rs a few points for victory.
  7. Rover is inside in our defense as well. It's the weakside LB or the Will in traditional D nomenclature.
  8. i thought that too in Bee Cave but as we were walking out an older well-dressed couple made their way to their car in front of us. I told my wife that it was unfortunate that the older couple's vote probably canceled ours out. I started nodding my head as the older couple approached an S series Mercedes sedan. As the older gentleman opened his door, i saw he had a BETO sticker. and then I saw BETO stickers all across his bumper and on his passenger door. He caught me looking, smiled, and gave me a thumbs up.
  9. but that is NOT socialism. i dont understand why other people don't understand that.
  10. mainly olds in texas. 65+
  11. that report is based on absentee ballots, not early in-person voting.
  12. i havent heard anything negative about him. the staff thinks he is a future multi-year starter at LT.
  13. Most of thosr are absentee votes.
  14. That doesn't make sense. Dumb people really have no idea what socialism is.
  15. Senate 51-49D House 240-195D
  16. My wife waited an hour in line this afternoon. It was the same for me this morning. As a former precinct chairman, I have never seen turnout even close to this. The people are fired up.
  17. Line wrapped around the building this morning in Bee Cave...
  18. yeah, thats like my point, my man.
  19. hospitals dont eat uninsured costs. we do.
  20. The fucking study you cited does exactly this and found a net savings. Jesus Fuxking Christ. wait... so you are saying we would actually spend LESS on healthcare? interesting...
  21. he comes across as passionate to me.
  22. disagree. his style is very natural and genuine. it is authentic, imperfect, and honest. very refreshing.
  23. they are great questions that allow him to clarify his positions.
