#RSG2014 -- Ken Paxton discusses the Border and the Tenth Amendment

"Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
Matthew 7:20

Ft. Worth -- Earlier this afternoon, Ken Paxton addressed the 2014 RedState Gathering:



Highlights:

• As soon as Obama came into office, #TXLEGE shifted from dealing with state issues to dealing with a lot of Federal stuff.

• "Texas has been under assault...because we've been successful."
• As a result, we've been under assault.

• Example of his constituent with the IRS: "I would have bankrupted the company defending myself, so I took the hit."

• Since Voter ID went into effect: "Three elections and turnout is up."
• As a result, the Feds are now suing us under another section of the Voting Rights Act.

• About Sam Houston (his opponent): "We have a history of dead Democrats voting in this state, but this is the first time they've actually run one!!!"

Throwback Thursday: Dan Branch Endorses Joe Straus

“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me?"
Numbers 14:27(a)

Highlights:

•  "Joe Straus is a lifelong conservative."

•  "I think it's a bad rap to say Joe Straus isn't a conservative."

Which Texas Republican Listed An Opponent's Staffer as a Supporter?!?

Ashley Sewell is a friend of this website.  She's an alumn of Ted Cruz's 2012 campaign and the Texas Public Policy Foundation.  Currently, Ashley works on Ken Paxton's Attorney General campaign.

Which is strange, because according to this screen capture of Smitherman's endorsement page*, Ashley is a Barry Smitherman supporter:

If they have any class, Team Smitherman will take one of the following actions:

1) Produce evidence there's a second Ashley Sewell that no on in Austin or DFW has ever heard of.

or

2) Apologize.

Personally, Cahnman's Musings wouldn't be surprised if team Smitherman attempts a stealth edit.

The ball's in your court Team Smitherman....

(Sorry Alice)
