At the Republican National Convention, state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, talks about a potential school voucher program. "You shouldn't be locked into a poor-performing school because that's where you happen to live," he said.

Interesting since this tax scofflaw claimed two separate homestead exemptions at the same time in two separate counties. Yeah, Danno is a fine upstanding taxpayer...not.

Suppose it never occurred to the yahoos that the obvious answer is to dump the Republicult ideology and improve the schools.... Of course that would take a commitment to educating even THOSE children, and that ain't gonna happen as long as the Republicult runs the state.

Dan Patrick... and his buddies scare the wits out of many t people all over this country. For example:

Jews in this world better be alert and stay sober... the Lunatic Fringe is coming after them and will convert them on the spot. Beware!
Bad news for Eric Cantor. He spoke today at the Values Voter Summit, but he’s apparently still going to hell. Let me explain.
Jerry Boykin is the Executive Vice President of the Family Research Council and Tony Perkins’ right-hand man. FRC is hosting the far right conference that the House Majority Leader, who is Jewish, addressed today.
Boykin, much like Bryan Fischer, has a penchant for saying exactly what’s on his mind – things which others know not to say, even when they’re thinking the same thing. While you may know Boykin from his prolific Muslim-bashing, he also has some interesting things to say about Jews. Boykin plans to lead Jews to Christ:Whether they want to go or not.
