We neither need, nor want Dan Rather in Texas. That goes for almost all of the refugees from blue states. They didn't like it where they lived but they come here and try to change Texas into the states that they fled. Stay home!

I am aware of that but he spent his life in New York and became one of "them".

Mike, did you read the article?
I thought it was rather complimentary.

Yes, I read the article. He wants to liberalize Texas. While I admit we have some right wing extremists in high office that I would like to see defeated, I don't want them defeated by democrats or leftists of any sort.

I didn't get that, I thought he was looking past the Abbotts and gohmerts as not defining Texas.

A compliment from Dan Rather is something that I would 'rather' not have. He's pretty much a disgraced journalist trying to make a few bucks more while he's still above ground.

Man, when R.E.M. does a grunge song - it rocks.
