After listening to president clinton kick republican ass

I did the one thing I could do to help the dems. I live in texas so theres no doubt whos going to win here. But hopefully the money I just donated to Obama 2012 can help win a critical toss up state and keep Obama in the white house.

but the majority of the rest of the state is bat shit crazy tea party GOP. Its scary listening to some of these idiots. They really belive that Obama is a socialist muslim kenyan. they hang on every lie that come out of the mouths of limbaugh,hannity and the other ass wipes.
its truly frightening

McCain received UNDER 4.5 million votes.

Obama won the cities/counties of: Austin/Travis, Dallas/Dallas, Houston/Harris, San Antonio, El Paso, etc.

I think Texas is more PURPLE than red now

the fact remains tha the dems cant win 1 statewide office. we couldnt even defeat a joker like perry with a strong credible candidate. until theat happens we will be a very red state. hopefully as the GOP goes down the road of pissing off everyone but white males that will change but until it does.....
