1. Me, too.
This atheist hopes that somewhere in the cosmos these two wonderful women are kickin' back and having a snort while laughing at the idiocy they warned us about and left behind.

2. This gal who has never stepped a toe into Texas misses them too!
And this gal will hopefully someday get to visit Texas just because I've always wanted to.

The strength and humor you must have to keep your sanity among the natives is nothing short of Herculean.

The cities are very liberal, Bill White carried the cities.

8. There are also no women, like Texas women...
I was married to a very special one for a very long time.

6. I wasn't into politics at all when she was in office, but I sure took notice
when a clip of her would be shown on the network news, or I somehow happened across a program where she was being interviewed.

She was amazing.

We have a lot of imports down here.

Not everyone is a native Texan.

14. That was enlightening!
And great to see a bit of the delightful Gov. Richards again. Always loved her.

I truly believe our great hope in Texas will be the Hispanic population. The R's seem to do all in their power to alienated that demographic. Idiots.

Thanks for posting that TexanWitch. I appreciate your reply.
