I Am Almost Home. And By Home I Do Not Mean Travis County.

March 03, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Guys, I am almost fully back to normal.  A day or two more and I’ll be good as new.

But, I had to drop what I’m doing to bring you this.  Some folks have mentioned it in the comments but I need to make it a full from age story.

Travis County (think Austin) has elected a Snake Stomping Trump Republican as their county chair.  The Texas Tribune describes the reaction of the GOP power structure in Austin as “apoplectic.”  I dunno, I think maybe “snot slingin’ roof raisin’ rage” might be more accurate.

To say that Robert Morrow, the new Travis County Republican party chairman is plain spoken is like saying that Van Gogh paints nicely.  Morrow cusses like a sailor, oodles women, is convinced that most of the GOP is gay and that Hillary Clinton is “a bull dyke.”  The seems real obsessed on this gay thing.

He drops F-bombs like they were tisket-taskets in his basket.

Instead of dog whistles, he just hollers for Rover to get his butt home.

Morrow’s main complaint is with “establishment” Republicans, who he does not believe should hold elected office, he said. Last week, he tweeted that the Republican National Committee was just a “gay foam party.”

Morrow has a long history of critiquing prominent state Republicans in vulgar, and often sexually explicit, terms. For years, he has alleged that Perry is secretly bisexual; in 2010, he referred to him as “Gov. Skank Daddy” in an email.

He also uses the n word and chewed out a reporter for not wanting to use it.

When the Tribune asked about the content of some of Morrow’s social media posts, without using the specific racial slur Morrow had employed, Morrow seized on the omission as an example of corruption within the media.

“You are a perfect example of what the Trump movement is revolting against because you can’t even pronounce the word n—– when you are talking about a Facebook post,” Morrow said. “What a pathetic excuse for a reporter you are.”

Stock up on popcorn, my Texas friends.  This is gonna be fun.

Thanks to everybody and their Aunt Matilda for the heads up.

Be social and share!

    Texas political parties should take a lesson from DC:

    We elect party officials at local conventions, which would make it incredibly difficult for a guy like this to hijack the proceedings. Only party stalwarts bother to show up for these.

    Of course, the snacilbupeR meet in somebody’s living room–there are so few of them.

  5. I’m not a Texas expert, but why does Austin even have a “GOP power structure?” Isn’t Austin incredibly liberal?

    How did this guy get elected? Is he the Austin liberals’ revenge?

    LynnN: From what I know (which ain’t all that much), Travis is the county that has Austin in it. Austin might be liberal but not the county. An island of smart in a sea of dumb. Sigh…..

  10. I suppose the locals think this glassbowl “tells it like it is.”

    WTF is wrong with Republicans these days? All the slime and muck that used to lie on the bottom of the cesspit is bubbling its way to the top, to enthusiastic cheers from a substantial portion of the GOP voters. They’re not just rejecting the 60s, they’re rejecting common decency and sense.

    Maybe this is why zombies are so popular a motif now: these people are undead and rotting but still staggering around infecting others and seeking Braaaains because they don’t have any of their own.

    Oh… and JJ? Rest up girl. March is just getting started. There’s another “Super” Tuesday coming. THAT should be fun.

  12. Why are they surprised when they elect their own?

    This man ran in a race, I assume made his views known and was elected.
    This Is the face of the republican party in that area now.
    These are the kind of people that were courted by republicans.
    Because of that black Muslim President.
    They started the tea party. They did not set parameters of what was acceptable and moral.
    They got exactly what they asked for.

    @ LynnN-a Texpert?? It would keep one busy for an eon or two, that’s for sure. And lotsa money around Austin, and lotsa gerrymandering (Tom Delay I hate your effen cheating guts!) so lotsa snacilbupeR too.

    Note: my iPhone just tried to correct snacilbupeR to
    “snafu biped” and I thing it may have a point!

    This guy is enraged because he doesn’t like being politically correct. It doesn’t look like anyone is preventing him from being incorrect, just like the RKlanners who are angry at being religiously persecuted by no one. They want domination, not equality and they’re not going to get it no matter how much they rant and rave and shout epithets. They see their perceived entitlement slipping away, so they throw hissy fits hoping the rest of us will cave. No freakin’ way!

    Lynn N.: Texas has been through repeated Republican redistricting trying to get rid of the liberal influence of central Austin, where the students and faculty and graduates who stayed in Austin tend to be. (Similar things have happened elsewhere. We have more live, healthy, gerrymanders than you can find most place, some of them a healthy 100+miles long and only a scant few miles wide, wriggling across the landscape. Austin has also had an influx of conservative/libertarian outlanders since the tech biz got going, and Ghu knows what the construction moguls are, but probably not very liberal. It has corporation headquarters owned by people who think dark skinned people exist to mow lawns, clean toilets, and work all day in the hot sun in dangerous jobs for a pittance.

    So there are a lot of Elepants in the mix (and yes, I meant that misspelling this time.) Gentrification is steadily destroying old neighborhoods and putting more elderly and low-income people out on the streets or into carefully located “low-income-housing” areas where there’s not enough of them to have political influence. The governor, attorney general, and legislature are in cahoots to make Austin non-weird, billionaire-friendly, and utterly dependent on their plan.

    Not that I’m bitter or anything.

    We used to have precinct conventions, which sent delegates to the county convention, which sent delegates to the state convention, which sent delegates to the national convention.

    Now we have caucuses. Some of us think they’re stupid. One of us was at a city council meeting Tuesday night (he’s on city council) and one of us was still sick at home.

  18. Damn! Have those jerks ever heard the term “occasion of sin”? Maybe they have but it went right over the pointy heads. For clarification purposes, this was the term used to describe any guy I thought I might bring him and introduce to the rents. If I ever tried it, only all hell would break loose – first over him, then me, but in fairness I would have the option of arguing that he didn’t act like that in public. In other words, I got conned. And pretty young things are so easy to con,doncha know?

  23. To me Robert Morrow epitomizes the GOP of Rush Limbaugh, Tom Delay, Gnewt Gingrich, Grover Norquist, etc etc. They hate a strong central government. They long for the days of the Confederation, both the one in 1777 and 1860. The want their elected representatives to pass laws and all, but if for some reason they don’t like the law then they can just say “F*** off” and ignore it or demand that the law not be “funded”, whatever that means on the day the say it.

    23
  24. Lower than crocodile piss. Lower than a pregnant ant.

  25. As far what Morrow has to say, when I was in a rural Virginia high school, we always said, “Takes one to know one.”
