Another Dixiecrat turncoat bites the dust.

At this point I'd say that none of the elected Republicans in Texas can claim they were former democratic activists who--(cough, cough, hack, hack)--"saw the light"--(cough, cough, hack, hack). They were Rethuglies all from start to finish.

But who could elect Ratcliffe to any office. There's going to be a tipping point in Texas. There are now further right factions of the tea party fighting with the establishment tea party over creationism. Democrats should step up their game this year. It's time for the chronically apathetic Democrats and sane Independents to come to the rescue. Remember the Alamo.
