Texas Republican State Representative (you’re cringing already, aren’t you?) Tony Dale, who is just about as conservative as they come, has been hollering about allowing Syrian refugees into Texas. He, of course, is against it.

So he put a poll on his Twitter feed to hear from his constituents.

He had to quickly shut it down.

Yeah, well, he doesn’t care what you think anyway.

Thanks to Harold for the heads up on Facebook.

Whoa, Wait —

He says he’s against them coming for an entirely different reason.

In a letter to Texas lawmakers, State Representative Tony Dale (R-Cedar Park) argued that the state should not accept any Syrian refugees because its lax gun-purchasing regulations would make it easy for any terrorists hiding among them to acquire a weapon and carry out an attack.

That makes my head hurt. Republicans believe that Texas needs lax gun purchasing regulations but agree that makes it easier for terrorists (and murderers and crooks) to get guns.

That makes my damn head hurt.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
