5. Was there still a trucker inside?

When the camera zoomed-in, I just saw some boxes or other debris in the truck cab.

2. Houston is full of good people!

Too bad it's stuck in Texas!

3. It's the opposite

Texas is full of good people, too bad we have so many dipshits. Like, well, pretty much every state.

4. I only have one criteria on a political blog website.

Houston (in Harris County) is full of good people.

7. Good People are everywhere in Texas

Even in my very red county.


Too bad you can't understand that!

8. I believe deep down Republicans are good people.

6 feet down!!!

But go ahead and correct me - it's a tradition at DU.

I can't understand why we lose every other election.

9. We lose because we do not get out to vote

I know this because I am a Precinct Chair. I call to encourage people to vote, but alas they do not.
I'm hoping that from now until 2018 I can make a difference and get people to the polls.
