From the PJ Tattler – 9 more Texas Democrats switch to GOP:
In what is believed to be one of the largest number of officeholders to change party affiliation in Texas, Lamar County GOP Chairman John Kruntorad and State Representative Erwin Cain announced today that 9 local elected Democrats have joined the Republican Party. This announcement follows unprecedented election gains by the GOP in 2008 and 2010 as Northeast Texans increasingly identify with the conservative platform of the Republican Party.
Those joining the Republican Party include District Attorney Gary Young; Pct. 1 County Commissioner Lawrence Mallone; Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace (JP) Don Denison; Pct. 3 JP Tim Risinger; Pct. 4 JP Ken Ruthart; Pct. 5, Place 1 JP Cindy Ruthart; Pct. 1 Constable Madaline Chance; Pct. 3 Constable Larry Cope; and Pct. 5 Constable Gene Hobbs…
Whatever they’re doing in Texas, we have to duplicate it around the country. Remember all the Democrat stories about how as America loses its white majority the GOP is doomed? Well, Texas has already lost its white majority – its 47% white, 37% hispanic and 12% black. To put it mildly, the Texas GOP is a bit more conservative than, say, the California GOP, which can’t get a hispanic to vote for it for love or money. And yet the Texas GOP is just crushing the life out of the Texas Democrat party. Clearly, Texas Republicans are showing how to do it – and it seems to be that a rigid adherence to pro-family, low tax and pro-business policies are the magical talisman.
