I'll vote against those 100% of the time, as I can see through the union rhetoric.

Mine and my wife's has went from $600.00 per month to over $1900.00. Insurance payments are higher than my house note. Try being self employed and have to deal what the Democrats have crammed down our throats. I'll never vote for a Democrat.
They didn't even bother to read it before voting on it. And yet they passed it.

I'll do what a RED STATE is expected to do. Anything outside of GOP right now, is not anything I support.
One is so far left, I can't relate. The other isn't in numbers enough, to not count votes to those on the far left.
Critical times......sure some have some messed up agendas but......from what I've followed over the past 10 years from the non-RED representatives, it's not anywhere near my views.

My wife is registered Libertarian and has been since she started voting in 1992. She actually voted for Trump though because the thought of Hillary as president scared her. I usually vote straight republican, but there have a been a few times I have voted different when I could not come to terms with the republican candidate. I have friends that are teachers and in law enforcement so that is always a concern for me. I worry for their future. But at the same time, I can not sacrifice other things I believe in. Allowing insurance companies to be able to deny preexisting conditions scares me because I have cancer and I am facing unemployment if I can't get mobile again soon. However, it is not anyone's responsibility but my own to take care of my issues, so it is a tough call for sure.

I am conservative and will not vote for this idiot! I am not a sheep I will not blindly follow people that threaten my livelihood.
He might be a strong supporter of the wall and the 2nd amendment, but he set up public ed for failure and is blowing smoke up peoples you know what about property tax. He likes to hear himself speak and creates issues where they don't exist.
Not telling anyone how to vote just my opinion about him which are based on facts.

Originally posted by Captain39 View PostI am a Houston Fireman & I can tell you he screwed my pension. We had the #1 rated public pension in the state according to the state report in 2017. And Mayor Turner(liberal Democrat, former state rep for 20 years) used Joan Huffman(conservation republican) & Dan Flyn(conservative republican) to submit a bill in Austin to cut my pension by 40% and it give 1.2 billion from my pension fund to help the other the other two city funds that had not managed their money correctly. Turner called it “shared sacrifice”, I call it Socialism! And Dan Patrick went right along with it. Turner is one of of the most corrupt politicians to ever serve in Texas, but Dan sure was quick to help him out.
By the way, pensions are the definition of socialism on a small scale. Value made belongs to everyone in that pension, instead of a group of private account owners.
I completely agree with you Turner being a complete tool.
For all yall voting for a dem, remember there is a liberation on the ballet. Its better to vote for McKennon then Collier
