Dan Patrick' post on Mayor Annise Parker's Marriage.

I ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT TODAY ON THE MARRIAGE OF HOUSTON MAYOR ANNISE PARKER

HOUSTON – Dan Patrick, Texas State Senator and authentic conservation candidate for Lt. Governor issued the following statement in response to new reports regarding Houston Mayor, Annise Parker.

“I am not shocked that Mayor Parker decided to elope to California for a marriage that is unconstitutional in Texas. This is obviously part of a larger strategy of hers to turn Texas into California. She waited until after her November election to decree that the City of Houston will recognize same-sex marriages from other states. The Texas State Constitution defines marriage as between one man and one woman and Mayor Parker cannot change that. I fully support the lawsuit challenging Parker’s edict and look forward to protecting conservative values as the next Lt. Governor.”


I set him straight...no pun intended.

Anybody who would hire and support a child-molesting DJ like Jon Matthews at his radio station has no standing to lecture ANYBODY about personal morality.

I heard him say so on his radio show, back before he decided to do some real damage by moving to the Capitol. A truly dangerous man.

The tea party rejected Dewhurst in 2012 for Carnival Cruz. Dewhurst has been running to the right but I believe that Dewhurst is going to lose to Dan Patrick. I think that Patrick is a far weaker general election candidate compared to Dewhurst.

Houston Mayor Annise Parker is one of my favorite people and a friend. She is as sweet as a grandmother’s kiss, but also tough as a three dollar steak. She has been great for my hometown, the city of Houston. She first served as a city council member at large in 1998, then was elected comptroller in 2004, and finally as mayor in 2010.

She just won re-election against 8 opponents with 58% of the vote. What I’m telling trying to tell you is that she’s wildly popular. If we had a vote about whether to put a statue of her next to Sam Houston, she’d win that, too.

And all that time, she has been openly gay. She and Kathy Hubbard have lived together for 23 years and Kathy is often introduced as Houston’s First Lady. They are raising two adopted daughters and a foster child.

A couple of weeks ago, they went to California and got married. Mostly, everybody was happy for them. True love that lasts a lifetime is hard to come by and when two people find it, that’s generally cause for celebration.

Holy moly, not so much in Republican circles where both true and love are both in short supply.

Those creeps went caterwaul crazy. They got started and even a few weeks later, they just can’t shuddup. They got little spittle things running out the sides of their mouth and their hair appears to be on fire, or at least smoldering.
