Here's a tidbit. The Texas GOP is gearing up for something major and they're putting Republicans pledged to the agenda in charge. No more, "Oh, we're the nice party and will share our win with you Democrats by giving you committee chairs."

Texas is leading the way. This needs to happen more:
quote:

a) We oppose the use of pledge cards and call for Republican members to caucus after each November General Election to determine, by secure secret ballot, their candidate for Speaker and Speaker Pro Tempore. We also call for Republican members to vote as a unified body for their selected Speaker and Speaker Pro Tempore candidate when the Legislature convenes in regular session, provided that the individual selected in caucus for speaker publicly pledges to comply with the entirety of this plank.

b) Texas House standing committees shall advance the conservative grassroots agenda, not those of special interests and lobbyists. The chairman and a majority of members of key committees shall support the conservative agenda. All committees shall be chaired by Republicans when in the majority.

I mean, it is laughable. They make these stern declarations, yet it gives any and every one of them a built in out.

That undermines everything else they said.

Don't get too excited about the Texas legislative process. We have a great system in that we don't have a permanent, professional, legislative class but our legislators and their offices are very screwy.

Believe a quarter of what they say and half of their actions. Our Capitol building is not anywhere near as conservative as they should be.
