GOP Lawmakers Work to Prove Conservative Cred
LUMBERTON, Tex. — GOP voters in Hardin County might be scratching their heads this primary season.
The tortured redistricting process this year put them in a new district, and now two members of the Texas House are competing for their support: James White, a freshman who swept into office with the Tea Party in 2010, and Mike Hamilton, a nine-year veteran who leads the House Licensing Committee.
And the candidates are circulating two very similar mailers, citing the same source, each accusing the other of being the “second-most liberal” Republican in the Texas House.
Turns out that at two different times ...

Good Grief! Now the tea baggers are eating each other, as they try to out right-wing each other. Once again, we have to put with silly "values and ethics" charges and claims, as they try to see who can appeal the most to the homophobic, stupid right-wing crazies and religious lunatics. Getting ole good hair's endorsement seems to be very important to these 2 wackos. This is all for an office in the Texas State House of Representatives. It only meets every other year. For only 5 months. That should tell you something about the lack of intelligence of these 2 wackos.

Please! 'Tuffy' can only be considered conservative by an Austin viewpoint, NOT an East Texas. He falls WELL into the bottom half of the GOP on that score, while James is in the Top 10.
"Conservatives' do NOT duck out on Tea Party forums, as well as other venues. Tuffy is in this to serve as Straus's lapdog and to provide another pro-gambling vote, for which he'll expect significant (indirect) compensation.
