Tea party candidate who opposed and defeated Wentworth says “This is a God thing,”

Quote:
Despite his support for past issues such as voter identification, gun rights and a ban on gay marriage, Wentworth had been criticized by some conservative groups as not being conservative and found himself on the defensive in a bruising and expensive primary. Most notably, he had voted against the Texas law that requires doctors to perform a sonogram before a woman has an abortion.

It's fascinating to me that there is a segment of society that is so passionately interested in moving us backwards from civilization to the caves again.

Tell me about it. Sadly, that's the modern Republican Party though and only a fool or a bigot would vote for them.

The incumbant has been there 20 years. Long past time for them to be moved on.

Y'all are confusing TEA party members or supporters, with people who claim leadership of a non existent thing.

And taxes are being threatened to go up on everyone, even though we are at the lowest. Yeah, at the lowest level, but we are taxed enough already.

Thou shalt not have an abortion, as the state of Texas prefers to starve Texan children to death in abject poverty begrudging them even a food stamp. Texans should shoot Texas. It needed shootin.

Any chance FOX Tea isn't actually a reverse psychology scam trying to get Texas to turn blue so Dems have to clean up after the brats that republican pandering made?
