What policies are drawing him to the Republican party?

He makes a lot of money and except for the different brand of god they believe in the core beliefs of fundamental right wing Christians are not really different than fundamental right wing Muslims.

Oppression of women, gays and nonbelievers.

I’m pretty sure he’s not a fundamental anything. From what I can tell he’s either irreligious or keeps it to himself.

I can’t say that about the few behind the effort to run him out as the woman behind most of it is a special kind of stupid.

But I can’t consider a guy running for a leadership position in the Republican Party as a total victim.

At a certain point I would think the hate would run off someone even if they bought into the republican economic message.

And he obviously is in line with their social views regardless of how vocal he is on the matter. He wants to be one of them.

I grew up with and have family who are fundamentalist Christians. They will never accept him.

Sad. His powers to look the other way over the last 2 years must be amazing. Maybe he might google "Muslim ban" and start reading up.

Frankly, I’m surprised the GOP hasn’t sent out a mailer to all coloured, gay, and non- Xtian members requesting that they suicide themselves for the benefit of party purity.

Obviously these assholes have always been there, but before there always seemed to have been at least some counter balance in the GOP. I guess this what happens when anyone with sense of decency flees the party and it all that remain are the kooks.

If anyone is interested, here's the FB page of the lady leading this. Her bigotry is on full display there.

Can only imagine what life must be like living in a state teeming with these critters. It must be hell.

They are the ones who rejoice whenever there's a capital execution. Probably observe it with "ice cream socials" preceded by prayers of thanksgiving.

What a look into a culture of determined haters.

Thanks, a lot.

The surgeon might thank them, one day, for allowing him to remain outside their circle of "friendship."

Not allowed in the Democratic Party...

We are actually somewhat regulated by the state.

If anything TRP by-laws probably do not allow secret ballots.

If you don’t toe the party line religiously, then you can’t be a party member.

Stalin would be proud of such party discipline.

One glaring exception: Tarrant County, where shithead Republicans still hold sway. It's a damn shame, because by and large, Ft. Worth is an excellent city.

But polical parties are like religious groups. Can’t successfully sue a church for kicking out a person for their beliefs.

And where my extended family lives in rural North Louisiana the Republican Party and fundamentalists Christians are one and the same. If you aren’t a good Baptist, Pentecostal or some such you are not welcome. I mean, they might be nice to you. But only a matter of time before someone tells you ‘we are praying for you’.

It is probably like this in other states.

We all take an oath to obey the US Constitution etc.

Are "elected officials" and are subject to the Texas Election Code.

and give a byline to the writer of the article.

granted, it's a county-level branch of the Republican party, which is nominally a private institution. on the other hand, religious bigotry is explicitly eschewed by the constitution, maybe county-level party officers are considered close enough to government to have the "no religious test" apply? or maybe this can be construed as an equal-protection violation?

I'm a precinct chair.

Being involved in local politics is a "career" to many people.

We all take an oath to obey the US Constitution, the laws of Texas and the Texas Democratic Party.

I can't believe it!

Tea Party nut Cynthia Brehm wins county chair.

Supports bathroom bills 100%. Wants to do away with polling sites in public schools etc etc etc etc.


Then this:

You cannot separate your desire to pay less taxes on you surgeon's salary from what the GOP has been for decades now.

You are a member of the TRUMP PARTY Doc.

So kindly fuck off out of my sight and hearing
