The State Democratic Executive Committee approved a resolution relieving the members of the party from supporting any LaRouche candidate running as a Democrat.

Don't even think about *&^%ing with us here in Texas.

WHEREAS, the rules of the Texas Democratic Party (Art.

5. Wheeeeeee!
Maybe that'll teach prankster Republicans who threw their vote away just to prop up Kesha as part of some cutesey stunt. But then again, they wanted a Republican to win, anyway, so - do they win either way?

Now my head hurts.

7. No way Olsen loses CD-22
I don't think the prankster Rs voted in the Democratic primary. They had an important circus clown vote in their own party primary.

6. Good.
Every time I've gone to a State Convention I've seen them there. They are a pimple on the Democratic Party's ass.

They are an embarrassment.

Love the term "LaRouchebags"!!! :rofl:
