GOP Delegates Talk About Getting New Blood in 2014

“Lord no!” he shrieked. “So we’re gonna have a governor for life and a lieutenant governor for life? Some of the politicians need to know when it’s time to retire. We have other talent in the state. I’ve already voted for them enough.”

The idiots in Austin seem not to understand that the citizens want good quality public education that is funded in a manner that it can do its job. The Tea party is not the majority. They are a fringe group of right wing fanatics, funded by the Koch brothers. These people need to move on, but not for the reasons stated in the article.

Isn't it ironic that these right wing Ron Paul types shreik about 'moving on' and 'term limits' when at the Republican State Convention last June, they eliminated term limits for state party officers including member of their own State Republican Executive Committee. These morons are hypocrites of the first order. Most party activists would make very steady customers at mental facilities.
