1. Another little chicken shit Republican mouthing off.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. the french cuffs are a telltale sign of a rough and tumble

Texas type gun-totin he-man who would have taken care of the bad guys by himself...

[gademocrat7]

3. Evil dimwit.

4. what gademocrat said

[Cyrano]

5. "First do no harm."

Every doctor knows that. Every politician should learn and act on it.

But politicians are creatures that choose a particular "point of view," and then defend it to the death.

The best thing I can say about Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is that he's a divisive, mean-spirited, hateful, motherfucker.

This is a man who is trying to make the world a worse place in which sane people can dwell.

Do no harm?? This guy is doing as much as he can to inflict harm. It's past time for human beings to consider politicians like this an enemy of a sane world.

6. Our current Lt Gov

[joshdawg]

37. And when you mix in paxton and abbott, one has a real

mishmash of idiocy.

8. Jesus fucking Christ, Texas. Where do these clowns come from?

The list is shameful. Cruz, Perry, Abbot, Patrick, Goemert (sp?) Yeah I know gerrymandering and all, but enough people are pulling levers to elect and re-elect over and over these pitiful, pathetic assholes. WTF?

[barbtries]

15. don't forget Bush

never can forget Bush

16. Statewide officials these days are elected

due to the fact that they have an R by their name, regardless of their level of sanity or stupidity. Texas is currently a roughly 60/40 R majority state that will gradually become more purple over the next decade due to the fact that it is becoming more urban (people moving in from bluer states) and more Latino. Most of the largest cities (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso) are already Democratic majority. Certain officials like the Lt Gov and Atty Gen were nominated with tea party support over more mainstream candidates, as was Cruz. Gohmert represents a very rural district in East Texas that may as well be part of Mississippi. We do have some very fine Dems in Congress representing urban areas, including Julian Castro's twin brother Joaquin in San Antonio. I assure you, the R officials in this state are just as appalling to many of us as they are to you.

[Lithos]

21. I would say the split is more like

5% KKK, 30% R, 30% D, 35% I with the I moving more to the left. (Or towards a more sane center at the very least).

[PearliePoo2]

22. I can't even tell you how fortunate I am to live in the great State of Washington.

Two women Democrats for my Senators! ( Murray and Cantwell) PLUS, I live in one of the bluest, progressive Counties in the State and probably in the entire country..San Juan County. Damn, I feel for those of you that are in red state hell.

[classof56]

38. As an Oregonian, I share your good fortune.

We're blessed with two Democratic senators (Wyden, Merkley) and, all but one, very progressive US Reps, not to mention a whole lot of beautiful scenery statewide. But kudos to you for living in one of the most gorgeous parts of WA. The San Juan Islands are simply breath-taking!

[PearliePoo2]

40. I LOVE Oregon!

Highway 101 is one of my favorite spots on earth. Oregon had the foresight to preserve so much of the spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline! I believe the area down near Brookings (though remote ) is magical. Rivers, wild unspoiled ocean, Redwoods, sigh....

[classof56]

41. The Southern Oregon coast is one of my favorite spots on earth.

The battle to preserve Oregon's coast for public use was a long and hard-fought effort, but next year is the 50th anniversary of the Beach Bill which won the battle for public access. We'll celebrate that--stay tuned for details! Maybe you can join the festivities!

Cheers!

33. LOL, yes, Louie Gohmert is a very, very special kind of clown.

And, you know, I think he'd forgive you for the spelling error. The guy probably never really learned to read...

[DinahMoeHum]

9. Boy, they sure are bigger in Texas. . .Assholes, that is.

[IronLionZion]

10. In a chaotic mass shooting, you do NOT want civilians shooting too

it needs to be very clear who are the good guys with guns, and that's why we have police.

Why do these gun nuts have such delusional fantasies of shooting a mass shooter?

[yuiyoshida]

17. Maybe the governor expects this guy to show up...

[liberalnarb]

11. republicans are monstrous. Complete evil.

[etherealtruth]

12. Jack ass .... at what point did this fool think this would make anything better? n/t

[Midnight Writer]

34. I think you have hit upon the truth. Obviously he DOESN'T WANT THINGS TO BE BETTER!

Pardon me for "shouting".

He is playing purely for the right wing voters who elect right wing loonies.

This is his career and he sees this tragedy as an opportunity for promotion.

[3catwoman3]

13. Were they supposed to...

...run towardthe shooting?

What a ridiculous thing to say.

[63splitwindow]

14. Next time (God forbid), instead of using a robot...

they'll just send you in with a stick of dynamite stuck up your ass Dan


Yeah, we'll use a stick about that long Dan.

[Squaredeal]

18. What about all those gun-toting Texans that ran away too?

If I was there, I would run too. Cops seem to have a tendency to shoot first in the new "Us versus them" mentality that Bush promoted after 9/11.

[El Shaman]

28. They is at

SS office today applying for PTSD benefits.

[Stryder]

30. They're damned lucky

an officer didn't shoot one of them in the confusion.
I bet we'd hear some shit from the NRA in a hot second then.

[Angry Dragon]

19. He goes to the head of Trump's VP list

[DuckBurp]

20. Following the tradition of Bush, Perry, Abbott, and others ...

Patrick is an embarrassment to Texans everywhere.

[hobbit709]

23. Dan Patrick makes Louie Gohmert look intelligent.

[Thinkingabout]

24. Dan Patrick has a loud mouth which is connected to an asshole, if something stupid is said,

Dan Patrick is a good suspect. Asshole sports newscaster, hasn't gotten smarter since then.

[Fritz Walter]

25. That's mighty fuckin' WHITE of you!

As in WHITE PRIVILEGED.

Tempted as I am to say "Texit? Bring it!" It's illegal and would lead to people of color in that state suffering an even worse fate than what they endure now.

The dynamite option (above) is worth exploring. If nothing else, it would raise the collective IQ of Texas.

[gopiscrap]

26. what a fucking shitstain

on the ass scab of society

[El Shaman]

27. Another brave neocon,

if on words only.

[Eleanors38]

29. This leader of the Grand Old Potty been gas-huffin' the porcelin too long.

[MariaThinks]

31. there truly are evil people like dan patrick around - with no feelings or intelligence

[czarjak]

32. Danny said hypocrite...

[Hulk]

35. They just don't grow them any more arrogant nor dumber...

...than in Texas.

Yes texas, you are #1.

[annominous]

36. Shooter waited for the protest to finish ...

Per Alan Colmes, the protestors were mostly gone or leaving when the shooter started shooting. If Colmes is correct, this statement by Lt. Gov. isn't even true. Also the comment seems racist to me.

[El Shaman]

39. A
