Republicans Face Off in Collin, Denton Counties
When the Legislature convenes in January, nearly half of House lawmakers will be relative newcomers. Several incoming freshmen will hail from far North Texas, in booming Collin and Denton counties.
This conservative region north of Dallas has seen tremendous growth in recent years, which lawmakers addressed in redistricting. With few if any Democrats running, Republicans are expected to gain easy victories in at least five of these races, one in the Senate and four in the House.
The candidates in the May 29 GOP primary are working hard to outdo one another, duking it out over who has the most ...

Ron Simmons is a former Amway Emerald who scammed 10s to 100s of thousands of people for 10s to 100s of millions of dollars as CEO of Legacy Business Group. Amway is being sued in a class action lawsuit over this and other issues: http://quixtarclass.wordpress.com/

Those Collin County "spitefuls" need to give up their mortgage deduction, Medicare and federal highway construction $. And when their schools go to pot, maybe they'll figure out the tea party has no values.

The GOP is not the party of social equity, it's not the party of immigrant rights, it's not the party of labor, it's not the party that's pro-environment, it's certainly not pro-education, it's not the women's equality party, it's not the party of civil rights, it's not the party of the middle class or the poor, it's certainly not the Party of fiscal responsibility nor the Party of creating jobs. Even their idol Reagon did not create more jobs as Jimmy Carter did. it's not the party of peace either. The GOP is a bunch of imposters... they do not even belong in the human race.
So think about this... and then tell us why are you voting for them?

Adele,
I don't know where you get your facts from, but wiki shows Reagan clearly created FAR more jobs than Carter, and that includes starting with an economy with jobs falling off and very high inflation.
You need to define what you mean by "social equity," is this the new term for socialism?
Also, are "immigrant rights" the new code for "illegal aliens?"
Does "labor" include the out of control public and private labor that is making our products FAR too expensive and our taxes FAR too high to provide our "public servants" a luxurious retirement at the ripe old age of 40?
Do you mean by "pro-environment" the extreme tree huggers who disrupt all kinds of economic activity for the sake of a few fish or birds?
Do you mean "pro-education" as free higher education?
Do you mean "women's equality" as the same pay for less output?
Do you mean "civil rights" as the rights Republicans supported and Democrats fought?
Do you mean "middle class or the poor" as government handouts?
Do you mean "fiscal responsible" as no budget from the Democrat Senate for over 1,000 days?
Do you mean the "creating jobs" as Barry's unemployment numbers coming down only because millions have left the job market in frustration and are therefore no longer counted as being unemployed?
Do you mean the "party of peace" as Reagan ending the Cold War without a bullet being shot?
YOU are an imposter that does not belong in the human race, but then, all libs are! LOL
So think about this... and then tell us why you would vote for Barry... again? LOL

Scott Chase,
I wouldn't mind giving up any of the items you suggest, as long as federal spending comes down. Why pay for these items AFTER they go through the federal "wringer," and end up with a small fraction of the amount taxed as net benefits?
