Royce West is a democratic state senator for the Great State of Texas. He is lounging around a hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with other folks of the same stripe prevent democracy from working in the Texas Senate. He has also been standing too close to the exhaust pipe of his car. He quotes a famous patriot of the American Revolution, and says he has yet begun to fight. That is an understatement, Royce. Running and hiding isn’t fighting. It’s cowardice. It’s obstructionism. So, Royce moves to the top of the Hall of Shame list so far this week, topping the Reverend Robinson. But, it’s a day to day battle.

The democrats need to change their name, for they clearly do not believe in democracy. They should be called the Obstructionist Party. Say hi to my Aunt Ida while you are whining and dining in Albuquerque.
