Tea Party, Bring It On
.
Juanita may have told you that she’s going to be in Austin for the first day of the Lege. They are swearing in her brand spankin’ new State Representative and she worked too hard to help get him elected to miss seeing him get to work.
And, as some of you recall, the first day of the Lege is the day after Tom DeLay’s sentencing. “If it is true that bad things come in threes, then good things have to come in threes, too,” Juanita announces.
She just found out what it is.
The “Conservatives” are planning a rally on the first day of the Lege.
Some conservative groups are urging members to plan to be in Austin for Jan. 11, 2011 to rally at the Texas Capitol.
The main focus of the rally appears to be the contentious race for Speaker of the House, the vote for which historically is one of the first orders of House business on that first day. Various Tea Party groups have been openly campaigning for Republican members to back someone other than current House Speaker Joe Straus.
Their main issue? Current Speaker Republican Joe Strauss is a Jew. Yep. A Jew. And he’s fair.
“Hell, if that doesn’t call for a helluva rally, what does?,” Juanita grins.
So Juanita plans on going to Tom DeLay’s sentencing, watch her new State Rep Ron Reynolds stand tall against the agents of doom, and then get to see a whole bunch of old white people rally against any hint of fairness and compromise that they have spent the last two years whining about.
“That’s my idea of a great couple of days!”
