Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of extremist right-wing Bush-loving bible thumpers
within the city limits, but we also elected Ron Kirk, a black moderate-progressive as
mayor, and he evenm got 45% of the vote in the 2004 Senate race, no mean feat, considering
that rural areas of TX are largely about as politically progressive as the Spanish Inquisition.
