It seems that the Republicans in Texas are pissed. So pissed that they somehow managed to get a part of the Homeland Security Department , the Air and Marine Interdiction and Coordination Center, involved in the search for the 'missing' Texas Democratic legislators. Somehow, I remember that we were all assured that the Homeland Security Department was supposed to protect us from Terrorists, not rogue Democratic legislators. The folks in Texas need to take a really good look at their legislature and now. If the Republicans they have elected would do this to their colleagues, what makes the average Texan think that they would not do it to them?

And it gets even better:

State troopers have followed the Democrats wives, parents and children. Troopers even staked out a hospital where one lawmaker's premature twins are being cared for. Staffers have been harassed. All this has happened after the location of the Democrats was known.

This is truly frightening. Bill Clinton got sex and we're going to get screwed. The hate-mongers in the Republican party aren't going to be happy until they have some of us behind barbed-wire, I'm getting more and more convinced of that.

I just don't see any of this ever happening in a Gore Administration. Thanks again, Ralph.
