After the vote, Michelle Bachmann withdrew, further consolidating the conservative vote

As Chairman of the Bastrop County Republican Party, I achieved a milestone Saturday. I managed to have remarks published in a local paper that were relevant enough to get my car egged. Yes, you read that right. My car was egged. And according to my wife, who found the mess in my absence, it was a lot of eggs.Oh, it could have been a random act of vandalism, isolated to my house, that happened to

As chairman of the Bastrop County Republican Party, I speak to the recent passage of the healthcare Bill by Congress. I find that the American public, both local and at large, have responded to its passage with either outrage or elation. To my fellow Americans who may be elated, I seek to explain the outrage.The outrage is far more than the political harrumphing of Republicans who did not win a

Wow! I have never seen a primary election in Bastrop County like this one. Our numbers were three times our normal average, and instead of having half the participation in our primary as the Democrats (which is norm), we had nearly double the participation that the Democrats had (which is unprecedented). And that without the Democrat numbers sagging all that much! The triple attendance meant

As chairman of the Bastrop County Republican Party, it is fitting for me to be the first to speak to you, the Republicans of Bastrop County, regarding our national loss of the Presidency.

I Do Not Choose to Be a Common ManIt is my right to be uncommon—if I can.I seek opportunity—not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of
