... Paxton is the least of it. He and the entire Texas Republican Party are devoted to the project of scaring people away from the polls by whatever means possible. They’re afraid non-crazy not totally white people not obsessed with sex and toilets will outvote them some day ...

He’s been poking around Dallas lately, arm-in-arm with our district attorney, working on a great jihad against those hordes of illegal voters that Republicans keep seeing in their dreams from New Hampshire to the Rio Grande Valley. So far .. they've come up with a stray ballot-pusher in West Dallas and one legal resident noncitizen who voted in Tarrant County because she didn't understand her status ...

Let’s not even get into Paxton’s cynical ginning of Islamophobia, like when he accused a Texas school district of only allowing Muslim kids to pray .. or his adventure into theology when he urged more Christians to bring guns to church. Maybe someday Paxton will distribute tricked-out, gas-fired Bibles capable of firing .223 Remington ammo ...

Paxton speaks .. for those white people who have exhausted their capacity for empathy ... They have stretched their arms as wide as .. they can, and they still find only their cousins at their fingertips. They just can’t stretch any more than that ...
