Iowa, Texas, Iowa, Texas … Tough Choices
There’s a guy named Mark Jacobs running in the Republican primary for United States Senator in Iowa. Only problems is – he’s a Texan.
Jacobs voted in Harris County from 2000 until the primary in 2012, where he made his first primary vote in all those years. I suspect he just up and decided that Mitt Romney was his kind of guy but John McCain wasn’t. Or Bush.
They seem a little peeved about it in Iowa but are completely clueless about Texas election law. They say he’s eligible to vote in Texas until midnight on December 31st. That’s incorrect. In Texas, you re-register by voting. Since he voted in 2012, he can vote again in 2014 unless he has notified the Texas Secretary of State that he’s moved. In fact, double voting is kind of a tradition among Texas Republicans.
They also said he was a registered Independent in Texas. In Texas, you do not register by party affiliation. You are affiliated with a party when you vote in their primary. I can switch parties without re-registering.
But, anyway, here’s the bottom line. If Iowans want to elect a Texas Republican to the Senate, I say we send them Ted Cruz. Hell, Honey, I’ll even buy his airplane ticket.
JJ: pass the hat for that one way airplane ticket. You’ll find a lot of takers for that cause.
1And yet, the disenfranchised in this state can’t even vote once (unless they have a concealed carry permit which serves as their ID.) I thought the GOP was against voter fraud…silly me.
2Let’s just tell Cruz the ticket is to Iowa and send him back to Canada instead. It will take him weeks to notice the difference, eh?
3If we get Cruz.you have to take “Cantaloupe Calves” Kingbat in exchange.
4I’ll help you pay for the ticket.
5I think we should send him Greyhound so he can see more of America 🙂 Of course, America would get to see more of him which would not necessarily be pleasant for them.
6The GOP is against voter fraud as they define it, i.e. Democrats voting. If Republicans are voting, anything goes, including distributing official-looking flyers telling Republicans to vote on Tuesday and Democrats to vote on Wednesday.
7Oh, my! Rhea, how unoriginal of them! But then they just can’t get up enough juice to do something really, really unheard of. They just keep using the same old playbook, bless their hearts!
8I’d help send Cruz to Iowa except I want him OUT of the U.S. Senate. Tell him to go back to lawyering or whatever it was he did before.
9It’d be wrong to say this. but..
perhaps he’s “bi……
residential”
I’m just sayin
