how do we know? we are not the one hiring them...

the point is: the GOP only pay lip service to what their voters really want. in short, they are only taking you for a ride. once they are in office, they only care for the big money donors

I vote Rep most of the time because of fiscal conservatism and the hope that they will one day shrink our bloated federal government. I rarely get what I vote for, so can't say that you are far off base with this synopsis. But you honestly think the Democrats are any different?

first off, im a registered GOP..

at least for the Dems, they dont campaign for lower taxes..they are more for more services etc so that means more taxes for us payers..

for the GOP, they campaign for lower taxes, responsible govt, less government but when they are in power, yes..they lower taxes but at the same time increase spending..where is the responsible govt there?

have you read the article about Trump showing no concern about the debt? he said when it implodes, he wouldnt be there anymore..see that? pretty much thats the thinking of the GOP political class starting with Reagan..at least Bush Sr knew that trickle down economics is voodoo economics and increased taxes which cost him reelection

and you are telling us the liberals don't cow-tow the the rich and famous Hollywood elite? yes right - tell us they raised 100's of millions of dollars taking 10 buck donations!

both parties take money - but the democrats are the party of sanctuary cities, illegals, free health care to all and high taxes

if thats what you want great - but some of - thank god a-lot of us don't

and please tell me when the last time a car washer or hamburger flipper hired someone? Hummm

as i've said, the democrats will promise what they intend to do once in power. and thats exactly what they do. so if you like their propaganda,you will vote for them

whereas, the GOP will do the opposite of what they promised you when they were courting your vote.

illegal immigration? responsible govt? repeal of obama care? none of that happened even though they control the Senate, Congress and the White House

and you still vote for them despite not doing what they are supposed to do

At least there is the hope they will do what they campaign on. Charlie Brown with the football yes. But why vote for a dem who WILL do what he promises when what he promises is the exact opposite that I want him to do?

So I'll continue to vote for conservatives hoping that one day there will actually be one that governs that way.

Also, it is interesting how many supporters of Beto xenophobicly bring up Cruz's Canadian birth to support the Democratic Party. It's just weird and disgusting, though the latter is any form of xenophobia. Coming from a lifelong Texan who has never supported Cruz, including in these midterms.

I didn't mis hear the statements, it's not traditional. The Canadian hate started with Trudeau, Conservatives are not fond of him at all. And I didn't say I was the only liberal white guy in Texas.....However, I am firmly in the minority as proven by the voting record by race and sex in the 2018 election. Particularly in East Texas, there were alot of Beto signs here in Frisco. I just mentioned my voting for Beto as a surprise because I don't know how many white people that I have talked to who said that they didn't know any white people that supported Beto, that was generally my queue to make some people upset

I'm not sure how anything past the second sentence has to do with my post. I never said or though you were the only liberal white guy in Texas or argued against the authenticity of you seeing or not seeing Beto signs. But, anyway, you "thought Texans don't like Canadians" because Conservatives don't tend to like the current prime minister of Canada?

Cue. Kowtow.

And while we're at it, before anyone uses it - moot point, not mute point.

This has been your linguistics lesson for the day.

Carry on.
