My wife and I were feeling the same way. I hate seeing this city go down. We have 2 years to organize to take back Dallas. It's worth the struggle.Bitter Clinger wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 9:12 am
So now in Dallas we are stuck with Socialist Collin AllRED as our Congress critter and a DemocRat DA.
Wonder where the best place is to move to in Texas? Suggestions? start a poll?
Fort Bend county also. Really surprised Bob Hebert got voted out considering everything he did around Hurricane Harvey.TreyHouston wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 1:04 amYes. It was VERY CLOSE. Harris county were I live took a big loss today.
Yeah, that is really bad. She didn't get a majority, so maybe they can call for a runoff? I don't know if that applies to the county judge.TreyHouston wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 1:04 amYes. It was VERY CLOSE. Harris county were I live took a big loss today.
The voting age should never have been lowered to 18 EXCEPT for active military.philip964 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 10:51 am I realized with this election there are a lot of people who think completely differently than I do.
Ted won, but just by 2%. Statewide that is a lot of liberal voters.
In Houston, their is clearly a majority of liberal voters.
I did my first straight ticket, but so did everyone else here in Houston, so much so that our current Republican Harris County Judge (chief county executive) was replaced by someone who is 27 and works as a medical interpreter. (She did graduate from Stanford, but 5 years out of college most likely)
It is clear to me, my thinking is in a minority here.
It will not be long before I live in a socialist utopia.
The real problem is that the extreme leftist have completely taken over the educational systems. They brain wash children for 12 years and then finish them off in college. Truth is, most of them have no idea why they voted for the socialist party. It was a group think effort in an attempt to fit in.Oldgringo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 1:53 pmThe voting age should never have been lowered to 18 EXCEPT for active military.philip964 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 10:51 am I realized with this election there are a lot of people who think completely differently than I do.

Well cruz didn't do himself any favors by making it obvious that he's bought and paid for by big media. Selling us out on net neutrality got him a LOT of hate, for example.K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 11:58 am Senator is a state-wide office...so is Governor. Senator Cruz won by a rather small margin; Governor Abbott won by a sizeable margin. I think the difference between the two races highlights that Texas is still a very conservative state, AND that Senator Cruz was late "getting into the game" against Robert O'Rourke, especially considering the amount of money poured into the state for ol' Robert.
Think about this. Republicans not only retained the Governorship, but also Lt. Gov, and all the other top-level statewide offices. Do not forget that this was a mid-term election, and historically, the party NOT in power takes often large numbers of seats in mid-term elections. I'm not saying this was a great outcome, for our state or nation, but it could have been a LOT worse compared to how things have occurred HISTORICALLY. When the 2020 election comes, people really need to pay attention, and get to work early to make sure that those lost seats are recaptured.
It is true that they have taken over our educational systems and robbed our children from understanding their history.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 2:10 pmThe real problem is that the extreme leftist have completely taken over the educational systems.

Our greatest need is to recapture the historical and cultural narrative. Like the Appleseed Project we must re-tell all the stories of the past that the kids have never heard before.the left, while it currently seems ascendant in our houses of culture and art, has in fact entered its decadent late phase, and it is deeply vulnerable. The left is afraid not of Peterson, but of the ideas he promotes, which are completely inconsistent with identity politics of any kind...In the midst of this death rattle has come a group of thinkers, Peterson foremost among them, offering an alternative means of understanding the world to a very large group of people who have been starved for one. His audience is huge and ever more diverse...
Exactly! People who have yet to finish high school, never had a job or any other familial responsibilities and otherwise, don't know Snit from Shinola are allowed to vote.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 2:10 pmThe real problem is that the extreme leftist have completely taken over the educational systems.
