Is it fair to say people just don't care? Is it wrong to be angry about the shouting of folks who say they want change but clearly cannot vote for it? Is this a sign of things to come - this tragic the picture of how it has always been?

For the past 3 weeks the citizens of Texas, many thousands of which are tea party and/or 9/12 members, had the opportunity to make changes. We had a chance to make a difference, to elect a new leader, to make a stand. We were strongly positioned to show our power by insisting on a fresh vision, loyalty to the people, unpretentious character and constitution-based determination. I watched the numbers and saw the posts on facebook. I popped in and out from one candidate's fan page to the other to the other and like watching POTUS read back and forth from his teleprompters, was exhausted just from the movement. I was stunned and excited by the numbers released for voting in Texas. I heard somewhere that this election brought more people to vote than the 2008 presidential election.

In the past 12 months I have attended probably as many protests. I have seen people screaming, clambering and rallying for change right here in Texas. What a surprise to find that when it came right down to it.... The sheeple have spoken - the change rejected - the state sacrificed for another 2 years.
Texas is now supported by 30+% of federal dollars and $19 Billion in the red. But he presents himself well to those who just met him on the campaign trail, he ingratiated himself well with Tea Party groups, and he has great hair. Hey... Let's keep him! =-)

Wonder what it costs to live in VA?
