FreedomWorks:
Top-level Democrats and OFA strategist are on the ground all across Texas registering
hundreds of new voters every week. Currently Battleground Texas reports that they are
on pace to register approximately 600,000 new Democrats by the 2014 midterms.
Considering Rick Perry won the gubernatorial race in 2010 by less than 700,000 votes, Texas
could be in real trouble. Mathematically speaking, the path to the White House could be
lost for an entire generation if Democrats are able to turn Texas.

What I witnessed in Austin this weekend shook me to my core.  This isn’t simply
an ideological grassroots battle; we are up against a full-fledged frontal assault from the
entire liberal political machine. Battleground Texas is well funded, motivated, highly
organized and damn good at what they do. We are fighting an uphill battle to keep
Texas reliably red, which has trickle down effects across the country.

Quoted from Tommy

Ok, but how many are on track to register as Republicans?

Austin has ALWAYS been heavily blue.

Quoted from Henry

I don't see that happening to soon, you have a lot of people who are ditching states like NY to move to a more tax friendly states and those people lean more to the right. Like any state you will always have small pockets here and there which vote differently.

Quoted from Box A Rox

I know a guy who moved to Texas with his wife and kids.  He worked at a Toyota factory near San Antone.
After 2 years he took a buyout from Toyota and said he'd never return to Texas.
He's gone into great detail of life in that part of Texas. He moved back to the northeast and gladly
pays the higher taxes here.  
He still writes to friends in Texas who say if anything, conditions there have gotten even worse in the
years since he left.

Quoted from bumblethru

OMG.....I didn't think there were that many sheople left to actually believe there was still a 2 party system!!! That there was still a left and a right. That there was still a blue and red!!! Looks like Gov Almighty has done a great job at bullsh!tting the remaining sheople!!!!

Quoted from Henry

Texas is still one of the highest growing states in the country, 2nd fastest I believe, NY doesn't even come close to population growth. So why you have a friend who returned that is not the norm.

Quoted from Box A Rox

Yes.  Several of his friends still work for Toyota in Texas.  They hate it there but stay for the money.
Taxes are lower and if that is all that's important to you, then by all means Henry... MOVE TO TEXAS...
the quicker you move, the more you' save!

Quoted from Henry

I love the northeast but it doesn't mean I need to like the government and taxes. Hopefully that part can change for the better in the future especially with such low growth they may get the hint.

Quoted from Box A Rox

Bumbler may not see any difference between parties, but those people who benefitted from the
passage of ObamaCare sure do.

Quoted from CICERO

Oh, you mean the corporate insurance companies?  Yes, they did benefit.  Nothin like using the government force to get customers.  The democrats should be able to raise well over a billion dollars from the corporate insurance and drug industry alone for the passage of Obamacare.

More than a million Americans have moved to Texas in the past decade, many
from traditionally Democratic states. More than three hundred and fifty thousand
Californians have arrived in the past five years; since 2005, over a hundred thousand
Louisianans permanently relocated to Texas, mostly in Houston, after Hurricane Katrina.
The population is also skewing younger, which means more Democratic.

A chart showing Texas’s population by ethnic group over the next few decades... A red line,
representing the white population, plunged from almost fifty-five per cent, in 2000, to almost
twenty-five per cent, in 2040; a blue line, the Hispanic population, climbed from thirty-two per
cent to almost sixty per cent during the same period.
He pointed to the spot where the two lines crossed, as if it augured a potential apocalypse.
“This shows when Hispanics will become the largest group in the state,” he said.
“That’s somewhere in 2014.
