Texas Mid-Term Election Candidates For 2014


The abortion bill that was presented to the Texas state senate this year, brought a lot of attention to the politics of this great state. Not only did Wendy Davis become a overnight sensation, she also shed some light on the fact that this state manufactures most of the conservative base that wields a lot of power in Washington politics.

The American people are simply too frustrated with the Republican party and many Texas citizens are ready for a complete overhaul of the state that manufactures the Republican brand for a party which represents centralist ideals or at the very least a government that represents the needs of the people.

At this point, we want to provide as much coverage on the Republican opposition that the news ignores so that people can be informed of those other parties which also represent those Texans and their rights for the 2014 mid-term election.

So without further delay, let's look at the candidates. As I expected, there are more Republicans in the election than candidates from any other party.

As of this posting there are fifteen Republican candidates running for the U.S. Senate, governor and lieutenant governor, six libertarians and four democrats including Davis; excluding the Senate which only leaves one libertarian against the Republican majority.

The filing deadline is December 9 so we'll be keeping an eye on the news as it comes in and post it here.

Other parties involved will also be covered in the process; we will do our best to be neutral on the issue as long as it applies to covering those candidates that get very little coverage. On that however, it's important to state that in the public arena, opinions are often weighed in as fact here and will be backed with common sense before conviction, in order for it to be a sound argument. You will find that everything is clearer after discussion. Something that is rare these days.

Here is a list of all of those candidates:

Affordable Care Act Repeal Delay Hides GOP 'Martial Law' Effort to Pass

Embed from Getty Images After seven years of Republicans trying to defeat the Affordable Care Act , their opportunity to immediately repeal the law was delayed by their own faction of right-wing extremists within their own body on Thursday. According to The Washington Post -- one of many media outlets reporting from Capitol Hill -- delaying the repeal of the Affordable Care Act was a confrontation that Republicans made by themselves. Those extremist right-wing elements in the party reportedly feel pressured by their constituents to cut a better deal. But it's not very clear to many Americans that with Republicans messing with the Affordable Care Act, that they're going to help "improve" it. The Post's report on the "embarrassment" says that earlier in the week, House leaders were making some last minute adjustments to pass the bill, but they weren't adjustments that would improve the bill itself but rather to improve ways they c

Watch As I Enroll For Healthcare At The Last Minute

I've done this only a few times before over the last few months without all the information I needed. Now that I have it, let's see how far it goes.  2. Just showing you the Texas thing...  3. Yep.

Just gonna wait for the email alert. I'm phoneless right now (blogger's salary).

"Texas Libertarian Candidate & Texas Immigration Reform"

After the historic shut down that recently took place, all of the talking heads started predicting the next stand-off. What's the next legislative 'obstacle course' these politicians are gonna drag us through now? Everyone weighed in that it would be immigration. As predicted -- it's the 'bitch of the bunch'. It looks like the Democrats want to vote on immigration reform before the end of the year, but again, Republicans want to 'walk' the process by enforcing different parts of a separate bill piece-by-piece while the Democrats wants pass their entire chunk. As of this writing, three Republicans have sided with the Democrats. Obviously, Texas being a border state is definitely making this the main topic for the upcoming election and everyone's moving quickly to fight against or for immigration reform. One group of activists referred to as Stop The Magnet (STM) have been busy demanding that the law be enforced to keep '
