Texas
Related: About this forumWelcome to Dewfeed--They stole our cat gifs!
Dan Patrick, a Republican state senator from Houston and Tea Party darling, has officially been in the lieutenant governor's race for almost two months now. Patrick, like the other challengers vying for the seat, has positioned himself to the right of incumbent David Dewhurst, attacking him for being too moderate and for a series of procedural missteps that left the door open for Wendy Davis' abortion filibuster.
None of those attacks come close to what Patrick unleashed today. DewFeed, which the paid-for-by-Texans for Dan Patrick banner and the link to his campaign donation website suggests is legit, is brutal. It's the "night that will live in Texas political infamy, as told by cats."
Sure enough, the listicle that follows tells the tale of Davis' filibuster through a series of nine cat GIFs.

1. Dewhurst had made a lot of noise about his support for the unborn.
2. But the night of the important pro-life bill debate, he was out having a glass of wine with a political consultant friend.
3. Democrats saw an opportunity to pounce on the lack of leadership.
4. A liberal mob descended upon Dewhurst and he couldnt keep control of the gallery.
5. Wendy Davis began her filibuster and Dewhurst began chasing his tail.
6. By the time he finally called the vote, it was too late.
7. Pro-lifers across Texas sat and sighed.
8. Texas conservatives deserve a strong Lieutenant Governor.
9. Support Dan Patrick, candidate for Texas Lt. Governor, hell never back down from a fight.
