How liberal/conservative are Dallas, Houston and San Antonio?

I moved to Texas recently, and would like to ask anyone who's familiar with the regional politics: How liberal or conservative are the big cities - Dallas, Houston and San Antonio?


I know Austin is liberal, but what about the others?

China's going to be hit by an enormous number of cancer cases in a few years.

China's severe pollution makes pollution in America almost seem mild by comparison.

Starting perhaps around the year 2020 or so, China may get hit by an enormous number of cancer cases. There will be many, MANY cancer patients.

You can only pollute the land and air and water for so long before serious longterm health consequences settle in. I can only hope there are many medical students getting ready in China for a career as oncologists. Cancer specialists may be in extremely high demand.

Do you have faith in humanity?

I originally planned to make this a much more philosophical or detailed post, but just figured it was best phrased as a simple yes/no question.
