Fortunately for Texas Democrats the Loudest Republican Voices are Extremists


Not the typical Texas Republican behavior, the more  moderate choice won two GOP races. 

Falkenberg: Was Tuesday a victory for inclusion? http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/columnists/falkenberg/article/Falkenberg-Was-Tuesday-a-victory-for-inclusion-5295690.php

Democrats have broad principles they stand for and tolerate a wide range of beliefs, so much so some call it the Disorganized Party. They prefer the Party of Inclusiveness.

Tax Cuts Compared - Update


I saw this handy little chart that shows the changes in tax rate by size of population.

Click to enlarge.

I don't support Obama for this reason, our household gets a slightly bigger tax cut from McCain but that is because we are relatively well-off, but it is simply fair that those who can afford it be asked to pay their fair share. The McCain plan is that as you make more we will cut your taxes more - which is always the Republican plan but sometimes they are not as open about it.

Ironic Question Time - Do you really think that Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a card carrying member of the Illuminati and a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, is supporting McCain because Obama is too elitist? It's her pocketbook and prejudices she is supporting.

Update - Freakonomics looks at three charts with this same data.
