Republicans/Texans don’t raise taxes, they just take what they want in contracts. This site tells all the money spent by the spend and steal BushCo. Don’t even get me started on Government property sold in base closing to private housing contractors that made Billions on AIG type loans.

Should Texas succeed from the Union? - Audeouse..................

3. This started under Johnson -- KBR, Brown Root, later Halliburton
It's a long story of corruption heaped upon corruption.

Then there are Nixon and Reagan from California (my state). Now Illinois has its chance. We shall see how much money goes to Illinois in the next few years. This should be interesting. Bush was no doubt the worst.

4. Yes, the Johnson bio "Means of Ascent" was the template for the 2000 election.
I was totally shocked when I read it. Rove took the playbook from Johnson's "landslide" TX senate win in the early 1950's and used it to get * named as president in 2000.

Disenfranchisement, fraudulent votes, preventing the counting of ballots, all of it.

And the Brown root funding of Johnson's campaign? Today's KBR (and Enron) funding of *'s campaign.

5. To bad I don’t believe in conspiracy theories
Kennedy shot in Texas, LBJ, Texan becomes President, Bush, a Texan becomes president, twin towers fall, banking and wall street take a hit. Banking system from 2002-2008 have open theft charged to the tax payer in federal insurance.

To bad I don’t believe in conspiracy theories like BushCo started a war for oil and billions in contracts.
