Texas Democrats
are angry, and they have a right to be. Republicans have only one
more step to take before stealing as many as six congressional seats
after a federal court upheld their maniacal redistricting plan. The
new map represents a severe misuse of power that has the potential
to make Texas a one-party state.
As you may recall, Democrats did their best to stop redistricting,
twice leaving the state rather than allowing the required quorum to
vote on what was a Republican attempt to solidify a power-base that
would last decades. They were harassed for this decision, when in
fact they were acting in what they thought was the best interest of
their constituents.
Horrible isnt it?
Waiting is unbearable, which is why I hate it.
Whats worse is sitting by the phone on a Saturday night waiting
for a guy to call. I cant think of anything more agonizing
or embarrassing for that matter.
I
have never learned as much about myself in one period than in the
holiday break of 2003. You see, the break came one week after breaking
up with my girlfriend of nearly two years.
