The Houston Republican Party is fighting.  But, they’ve taken it out of the streets and on to Facebook, where it belongs.

A local Republican Party debate over whether to abide a range of views on abortion and homosexuality has flared up as voters prepare to elect a county chairman in a runoff election next month.

County Judge Ed Emmett sparred with conservative activist Terry Lowry on Facebook over whether people Lowry described as “pro-choice/pro-homosexual” should be allowed to serve as precinct chairs, the party’s grass-roots organizers.

“The spirit of the devil wants to divide the Harris County Republican Party,” Lowry wrote on his page, and charged that GOP liberals seek to remove the party’s anti-abortion platform plank.

“Holy Mackerel, it’s that Spirit of the Devil thing!  The devil got the keys to the front doors of the GOP,” Thelma warns.  Thelma is a provisional member of the Belles of Heaven Republican Women’s Club.

“I”m going over to Facebook to pray right now,” Thelma announces and parks her unpetite butt at the computer.

“Thelma,” Juanita shouted across the room.  “Last week you told me that Facebook was the devil.”

“We had a cleansing,” Thelma admitted.  “So now it’s safe for Republicans to fight there.  Thank you, Jeeeesuh.”

“I love Facebook,” Thelma announces, “but, like a good Republican, it’s people I hate.”
