Thank you for your hard work. It is so important to push back against what they are trying to do to the USA.

Thank you for your kind words. I will hold on to them.

Take care, my friend!

Durable, you have asked the same question that has been troubling me since our Primary season began. If the American people are so intent on kicking out incumbents why are they not doing it? Every time I ask that question publicly, I am told that they are waiting until the November elections. I keep stressing that if they do it during the Primary, they will have a legitimate candidate base to choose from in November. I have decided that the American voter is operating on a different agenda than I am – and it would seem than you are.

There is one other option that I see as well. This option is not popular with many citizens, and that’s really too bad, because in my reading I have found it to be solidly true. There are too many Libertarians running as RINO’s and while the voter may not understand all they know about the candidate they know just enough that they are wary. The Libertarians are entirely too socially liberal to suit many Republicans and even more voters who consider themselves Conservatives. In the 1960’s the “if it feels good, do it” attitude that seems to be making a continued run through the Ron Paul Libertarians didn’t work then (it brought much public destruction to our country then and will do so again) and it won’t work now. The only thing is the Paul – bunch seems to be learning from the mistakes they have made from within the Libertarian Party which is now going bankrupt at an alarming pace. It will be cheaper for them to enter the Republican Party, disband the Socially Conservative planks of the Republican Party platform and eventually succeed in bankrupting the Republican Party as well as the mainstream Conservative Republicans pull out for the safety of a more conservative leadership and group of voters.

Either way is not an option I would relish, but then I am not the only voter in the United States – I am just ONE voter in the United States. And I suppose that there are some Republican incumbents that are worth keeping. The Democrats don’t have a choice – they keep riding the horses of who stresses the most big government policies while combining the two Democratic mantras – donate to me, me,me and look how much in pork-barrel politics I gave you this term.

That very sentence is what cost the incumbent the election in the Primary in the Texas State House District 7. That, by the way, is my home district, and I watched and listened as the voters of my district complained about how he was never available to the citizenry until he had State money to hand out to the public interest groups who supported him – those same public interest groups who didn’t receive as much money as they had been promised by him while being told that he got them as much as he could salvage by the time the vote was settled. This while the voter stood by and watched as he ignored our individual desires and policy issues which we made known to him only to have his vote go the opposite direction of what we instructed him. He got exactly what he deserves – and exactly what the people of this State House District need – fresh ideas in a fresh face to represent us. David Simpson will be a wonderful representative for us in Austin using the examples of Scriptures and keeping prayer in the forefront. Those are East Texas traditions and it will be so nice to see them carried back to Austin to be used where they can benefit the most persons, policies and laws.
