Those are the liberal cities in Texas, while other areas are conservative. He forgot to mention that every single major city (not metro area, but city) in Texas pretty much votes Democratic. You can always count on the Rio Grande Valley cities to vote Democratic, for example.

And the border counties. It's a much different mentality vs. the cities though, mainly to get as many freebees as they can.

Jefferson County (Beaumont-Port Arthur) almost always votes blue as well, again a different mentality (labor unions).

I don't understand what's so bad about Texas being conservative. What's wrong with living with morals and integrity and standing by them? I am not going to jump on the bandwagon.... just so I don't offend any one. That has nothing to do with narrowmindedness, everything to do with what I believe in and what's right. I consider narrowminded people to be people who reject "outsiders" or people who think differently and Texas is known as a very friendly state, even to non-natives. I've lived in Indiana, Illinoise, and Kentucky, as well as TX.... so I know what I'm talking about. I am friends with many democrats and just because I do not agree with them politically, doesn't make me narrowminded. Now... if I refused to be friends with them because they were democrats... then I would call that narrowminded!
