WHY MOST TEXANS ARE REPUBLICANS:

Before the 2008 Presidential election, my husband and I had occasion to drive across Texas from Roswell, New Mexico to Katy in late October.  We went right across the heart of the state.  Amazingly we saw only ONE Obama campaign sign in anyone's yard.  We were greatly encouraged!

By 2012, even the people living along Buffalo Speedway were voting for Romney! 

Clearly Texans at their heart are Republicans.  Too often though, that sense of what is right for our Country doesn't trickle down to the local arena.  That's too bad, because as they say "all politics is local."

Here's a joke that addresses the situation:

When God created the world for human kind to prosper & multiply, He decided to give each group two virtues.

As an example, He made the Japanese patient and hardworking,

He made the Germans tenacious and studious,

He made the Americans organized and pragmatic,

and so on.

When GOD considered Texans, He told the record-keeping angel, "Texans are going to be intelligent, honest, & Democrats."

When GOD finished creating the world, the angel noticed that GOD had given every group two virtues except the Texans, who had received three.

The angel thought that this would give the Texans an unfair advantage over the other groups of human beings. He pointed this out to GOD.

GOD said, "Oh, my goodness, you are certainly right, but since virtues given by me cannot be changed, I shall do the following:

from now on Texans will keep three (3) virtues, however, they can only use two (2) at a time."

This pronouncement explains why:

A Texan, who is a Democrat & honest, cannot be intelligent.

One, who is intelligent & Democrat, cannot be honest.

AND ONE WHO IS INTELLIGENT & HONEST, CAN NEVER BE A DEMOCRAT!!!

This explains clearly why most Texans are REPUBLICANS!
