Do you anticipate a Republican State Legislature going 'Alamo' in the next few years?

Picture it. A gerrymandered State House, and or State Senate finally overwhelmed by a Democratic majority electorate, gunning up, barring the doors, and going down in flames.

Maybe a few of their knucklehead followers, but as a rule, politicians rarely ever have that kind of convictions. They want the money and power.

Remember the Alamo!

(This song was the theme song from the 1960 movie The Alamo.)



The thirteen days of glory at the siege of the GOP.

(NB. the misspellings in the supertitled lyrics are numerous and humorous. )

The Texas Republicans can hole themselves at Ted Nugent's ranch in Waco.

I decided that they would see themselves as the former and end up as the latter.
