Last month I wrote a post about a couple of ' clowns ' we hope get the boot during next year's mid-terms. Once these dudes start acting up or in Ralph Hall's defense, not act at all, they'll just keep doing it again and again. Well, a recent article from the Dallas Morning News spotlights those same clowns where they're staffers are apparently cleaning up Wikipedia articles that show their scandals and failings. Now, people who have an 'axe to grind' with Wikipedia, will say anything to downplay it's power but I give people a little more credit in that they know how to use Wikipedia to conduct research. This act however is just proof that there's no contender in their district, or that their voters are so disconnected and kept 'in the dumb' that all they need to do is manipulate some articles to keep the vote in their favor.

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 Republica...
