Big Surprise: Texas GOP won't let Log Cabin come to the party

As Gomer Pyle would have said: Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

I guess I should have already posted a blog pointing out that the Texas Republican Party has — once again — voted NOT to allow the Log Cabin Republicans to have a booth at the state convention.

But since it’s happened the same way every time for the last 20 years, I guess I am just surprised that anybody might have expected a different outcome.

I'd pretty much have to conclude things have been going backwards rather than "we could have been a lot further." Never mind speed, they're actually going in the wrong direction.

No idea what these guys are thinking.
