This One Foul Liberal Suggestion

OK, That did it. Up till now I hadn't made up my mind about Straus and Paxton for the Texas Speaker of the House. Now I have.

" House Committee on General Investigating and Ethics
1. Review state law in light of the effects of Texas Ethics Commission Advisory
Opinion No. 484 relating to acceptance of benefits provided to officeholders.
Recommend any necessary legislative changes.
2. Review the definition of "political advertising" and determine whether the
definition should be expanded to include content contained in blogs and other
types of Internet communications.
3. Monitor the agencies and programs under the committee's jurisdiction.

"

The above is from page 13 of :

Interim Committee Charges, Texas House of Representatives, 81st Legislature, Presented by Joe Straus, Speaker of the House.

The second item implies that blogs and other Internet communications should be limited. This would be a violation of the 1st amendment of the US Constitution in the extreme. I will now say that anyone that supports Straus over Paxton does so to his/her political detriment.

What ever else, that might be Conservative in nature, that Straus supports is, by this one foul liberal suggestion, eclipsed. There is nothing, now, that anyone can say in his defense.

Those in the state house have the opportunity, now, to support the Republican Caucus which will allow them a secret ballot so they can express their dissatisfaction with Joe Straus without being overly public about it. Those that do not thus express themselves will loose my support.
