Top Texas Republicans on the ropes after tone-deaf storm response The swaggering, Texas brand of free-market governance that’s central to the state’s political identity is taking a beating. By MARC CAPUTO 02/19/2021 04:30 AM EST The brutal winter storm that turned Texas roads to ice, burst pipes across the state and left millions of residents shivering and without power has also damaged the reputations of three of the state’s leading Republicans. Sen. Ted Cruz was discovered to have slipped off to Mexico on Wednesday night, only to announce his return when he was caught in the act. Gov. Greg Abbott came under fire over his leadership and misleading claims about the causes of the power outages. And former Gov. Rick Perry suggested Texans preferred power failures to federal regulation, a callous note in a moment of widespread suffering. "Texans are angry and they have every right to be. Failed power, water and communications surely took some lives,” JoAnn Fleming, a Texas conservative activist and executive director of a group called Grassroots America, said in a text message exchange with POLITICO. “The Texas electric grid is not secure,” said Fleming, pointing out that lawmakers “have been talking about shoring up/protecting the Texas electric grid for THREE legislative sessions (6 yrs),” but “every session special energy interests kill the bills with Republicans in charge ... Our politicians spend too much time listening to monied lobbyists & political consultants. Not enough time actually listening to real people.” https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/19/texas-storm-response-cruz-abbott-perry-470109[/QUOTE]
then say that. Not that she’s saving Texas. Don’t get pissy that you got called out for trying to misconstrue your point
First off, link to where I said she was "saving Texas"? Yeah, that's what I thought. No one's called me out, they just threw hysterical hissy fits that it was AOC that helped . Ridiculous and petty. And I'm not misconstruing anything. Raising $2 million for a state not your own, not run by your party, and until now not highly regarded in speaks volumes to her character and statesmanship. There are times for partisan politics. This isn't it.
I have to go back and quote where you’re blanketing “Texas relief”? I don’t really want to, but I’m glad you finally gave an original thought instead of linking an article. Bigly job brobeans
taint another reason for you being partisan is there? still distracting from the coming cuomo fallout? wonder why it’s taken googly eyes so long to take a position? I get that forced nursing home deaths don’t mean as much on the democratic outrage scale as taking a vacation, but do you think this paragon of virtue should have taken a stand and helped to protect her constituents from this evil perpetuated by the democratic governor of New York?
That's still a long ways off from saying "saving Texas". Although it really is nitpicking. And obviously partisan about an incident largely non-partisan. Not a good look.
no it’s about pointing out your obvious misleading attempts. I’ve already said she did a good thing. I’m glad she did it. Good on her. But your “republicans are bad people” schtick is tiresome
you indicated this was altruism on her part and that this wasn’t the time for partisans.... I pointed out that her motivation, seemingly like yours, is just that..... so again, why so motivated to help a red state when in her blue state, people were treated like Jews heading to the gas chamber with nary a peep from her?
