Yeah, I know, shocking, right? But seriously, I read Houston Chronicle columnist Lisa Falkenberg’s column about Sen. Dan Patrick’s speech on “school choice” at the Beren Academy and was floored by her complete and total misrepresentation. I mean, I get that she’s against anything that a conservative Republican would try to do to improve anything [...]
Support Sen. Dan Patrick’s quest for school choice
November 19, 2012 By
If Sen. Dan Patrick wasn’t already the target of the left in Texas, his advocacy for allowing parents and students to have more choices in public education will certainly put him in the crosshairs. Thankfully, he has Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on his side but this will still be a hard battle to win. Hopefully, [...]
Harris County Republican Party: civil war brewing?
November 17, 2012 By
The circular firing squad is sending in reinforcements and increasing the attacks within the Harris County Republican Party. Paul Bettencourt and his team at KSEV Radio must have received enough positive feedback from their attacks on Harris County Judge Ed Emmett that it encouraged them to double down. Sen. Dan Patrick even tied him to [...]
Sen. Dan Patrick at the Rally for School Choice
November 15, 2012 By
Glad I received the last minute notice of the “Rally for Tuition Affordability” held at the Robert Beren Academy in Southwest Houston this afternoon. There were several things that I learned about the issue and it helped me to understand better the forces behind the push for “vouchers” in Texas. The Beren Academy is a [...]

Harris County Republican Party: Circle the wagons and fire on the count of 3!
November 10, 2012 By
Too bad that they are choosing to point their guns inward instead of outward. In arguably the most bizarre political attack of a bizarre, very long election season in Harris County, Sen. Dan Patrick and former Tax Assessor Collector Paul Bettencourt are using the raw emotions of a few losing candidates and their supporters to [...]
Texas HD23: Wayne Faircloth clear choice for the future
October 19, 2012 By
About a minute into a two hour interview with Wayne Faircloth, Republican nominee for Texas State Rep, District 23, I knew this was no ordinary, career politician. His passion for people, for giving them opportunities to succeed in life, was palpable, and he was far more interested in talking about that than in standard boilerplate [...]
Dannie votes for Dew, gets taste of own medicine
July 27, 2012 By
Heh, you gotta love it when someone gets a taste of their own medicine! For years, Dan Patrick sat behind the microphone of KSEV in Houston and blasted every politician in sight. No matter what they did, they were wrong and Dannie let them know it. His rhetoric was only exceeded by his hypocrisy, leading [...]
Harris County Republican Party Town Hall – Bear Creek
July 26, 2012 By
In preparation for the November elections, the Harris County Republican Party held a Town Hall/Strategy Session Tuesday evening at Bear Creek Community Center. If the standing room only crowd that packed into room to hear Sen. Dan Patrick and Party Chair Jared Woodfill is any indication, Harris County Republicans are fired up and can’t wait [...]
