YOU admitted to voting for Trump…Twice. Do you feel you deserve some kind of break, or are you just too stupid to see the hypocrisy smacking you across the face? Rhetorical question of course. We all know you can’t help but take petty jabs at Lane whenever the opportunity arises. | |||

I did. I will never again, or anyone endorsed by him, or anyone like him. Let us not forget Paxton is already under Federal Indictment and was when he got reelected. | |||

Correction. It takes a WHOLE country of idiots to vote in IDIOTS! Trump? Biden? Kamala? Pelosi? AOC? Green? Who in his right mind would pick these crooks? BRAINLESS IDIOTS!  | |||

I voted against Paxton in the Primary and the run-off. I initially supported Eva Guzman and then bit my tongue and voted for George P Bush in the run-off. However, he is not a Democrat who will aid the overall Democratic agenda. Thus, I damn sure voted for him in the General…only a fool would not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Okay, he hasn't been convicted yet, and maybe he's not guilty. But let's assume he's guilty. Would you really vote for a public officer charged with administering justice for the state a man convicted of bribery and other corruption, over an honest Democrat? If you say yes, then you ought to revisit your priorities and consider what kind of example you're setting for your son. | |||

Well, you get what you pay for.....$3.3mm in settlement money and almost $500k in attorneys' fees because the criminal moron you voted for decided he could fire people for telling the truth about him. We can argue about who the fool is, for sure. By the way, the settlement gets paid with our tax dollars. -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

That is the part that would piss me off. Settlements paid with taxpayer money. I remember Marion Barry, the corrupt DC mayor who was sent to prison on drug charges. He got out, and was voted back in as mayor! After that, nothing in politics surprised me. Things like that go back further, but it's when I started to pay more attention. | |||

. . . drawing hard lines on something as artificial as an (R) or a (D) behind someone's name is hardly a virtue . . . unless being thought a simpleton is considered virtuous. Mike | |||

I will never vote for anyone with the Paxton name. I voted for Paxton up until the allegations were made with enough substance that I could draw a pretty accurate opinion of who was right. The settlement confirmed what I thought to be true. Unlike ledvm, I am able to draw a hard line between right and wrong, legal and illegal, Constitutional and unconstitutional, patriotic and unpatriotic, American and un-American. I always thought it was just normal, but apparently it's a gift many Americans, mostly Republicans don't have. | |||

There are many Republicans I wouldn’t vote for, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to vote Democrat. In the past, there were Democrats that I could vote for, but the current Democrat party has warped its moderates into yes men and women. I’d vote for Joe Manchin, but last go round, there was a suitable Republican to vote for. Thankfully, no harm, no foul. I will not vote for a criminal, but I will also not vote for a democrat that echos the current democrat mantras. It’s funny to see the lefty’s cast stones, when they would do the exact same if so challenged. I don’t follow Texas politics, other than what’s posted here, and I must admit, I have a hard time condemning someone who hasn’t been convicted of a crime. All the lefties had Paxton convicted on day one, before ANY evidence had been presented, shocker. Thankfully, I don’t have to vote in that next election. | |||

The Republican and Democratic Parties have a lot of power over our lives — A LOT. That power is not artificial. Their platforms and general trends for our country are not artificial either. Ignoring those facts IS foolish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

In today’s USA…the difference between (R)s and (D)s equates to right and wrong. One attorney general who is not stellar but whom does not fuel the Democrat agenda is the more correct choice in the matter of right vs wrong. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Therin lies the rub. Do you vote for someone who is clearly ethically challenged? Or vote for a platform that is so utterly opposed to the way you see things? Not much of a choice, so I guess it depends on how sleazy the republican is. Chances are though, if I don’t vote republican, that means I’m not voting at all. | |||

80% of them are ethically challenged. You can live over nearly any poor politician. What is hard to reverse is the horrible policy set internet motion by a majority of Democrats — above all else…do no harm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Just had a random and typical for me odd thought. Doc, you are making the case for a single vote, a single ballot. Either vote republican or vote democrat, names, faces, history and record, success or failure, convictions, family, haircut and wardrobe be darned. It's like the monarchy, they're either in or out. You are a monarchist or not. You support Charles and Elizabeth, Andrew, and all the rest of them or you oppose them. I can't do that. I think my senator Murkowski is a better public servant than Palin, I think that McCain was a better public servant than "W", Obama, Trump,...... Maybe they shouldn't tell us the candidates names, bio's, etc, but for now seems se mostly want to know. | |||

There was a time where a sane person could consider a Democrat. Those times have passed. The party agenda prevails with the majority…I have watched it religiously for 30 years. The Republicans have the right idea…they just generally implement it poorly. The Democrats of the 21st are so wacko…I fight the party control…anyway possible. I wish a Viable 3rd party would emerge. I vote Republican because sometimes I like their candidates but always to oppose insanity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Yes, Dr. Easter’d Pictionary is all Dems are evil, but it is okay to vote for criminals and unethical people so long as the my are Rs. All that exposition was the long way around the barn to the answer Yes to King’s question. It is the GOP that is forcing 12 year olds to have babies, want to overturn the 13-15th Amendments, criminalize adult consensual relationships, criminalize adults marrying, allow states to ban contraception, and succeeded from the Union while receiving more on Fed money than it sent. All of this and voting for people like AG Paxton. That is Texas GOP and most State GOP parties follow suit. Those are not the right ideas. That is crazy. | |||

He does complain a lot, for someone who's succeeded in life. His views, judgment, and thinking have all been skewed by his hatred of Democrats. Lane's problem may be that he spends most of his day surrounded by a bubble of like-minded people, with the same phobia of Democrats and liberals. Reason itself becomes irrelevant, as they reinforce each other's ever-more spiteful visions of people who think differently. | |||

Mildly entertaining to see the following respond to Docs commentary with the insults, exaggerations, ( that's you heym,) damnations and insinuations that Doc eschews.  I was thinking that I don't get it, nothing more or less. I generally agree with the guy, as he's said, our politics are generally pretty close, but occasionally I just don't see how he gets there. Seems obvious I and we sometimes won't, this is pretty sterile corespondents. There's several here that just beg for insults, Jines is obvious, Lilliputians have always had it rough. SS another although I actually have a little soft spot for the guy. Doc Mitchell has more than passed the exam to receive his Proctology degree and my best bud Jtex does like to wrestle. I'm really ok with skb insults aimed my way. Doc is absolutely, Biblically correct, democrats are wacko. This mornings Fox news had more California public school teachers hiding their gender reassignment work with elementary school students. Crazy! Wacko. I did vote democrat, possibly for the first time ever this last fall. In order to come down as hard as I could against Palin I did not vote for the other Republican running, I voted Dem and so far am happy with my choice. I doubt Doc would belittle me for it.  | |||

It is the truth of the matter. I did not insult him, and those are Texas GOO Platform positions. They have been pdf posted here before. They are stupid positions that will not play in elections outside of rural, low populated, uneducated areas. That is to say stupid. The answer to your question was Yes. If AG Paxton had any morality he would resign. If Gov. Abbot was half as tough as the Faction claims, he would publicly demand AG Paxton’s resignation. If a district level prosecutor had done as AG Paxton has, that person would have been booted. | |||
