Ever wonder why Texas specializes in “electing” stupid and vicious assholes like George W. Bush, Ted Cruz, Tom DeLay, John Cornyn, Rick Perry, etc., etc...??? Well here is the succinct answer: The Laziest, Most Worthless, Dumbshit, “Citizens” of Any entity in the USA, including Washington, D.C.. Texas Voter Participation is Dead Last in USA, including D.C......36.4% That means a mere 1/3rd if Texans (Right Wing Activists) Control the state by default, owing to the clueless apathy of the 67% of Texas eligible voters too worthless to show up....!!! Excerpt: “AUSTIN — If Texans abide by the mantra, “if you dont vote, dont complain,” they should be the least-complaining bunch in the nation. Texas ranked 51st in voter turnout in 2010 — behind the other states and Washington D.C. — and 49th in the number of citizens who contact public officials, according to the study released by the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life at the University of Texas at Austin and the National Conference on Citizenship. The states slacking continues when it comes to civic participation rates, ranking 43rd in donating and 42nd in volunteering, according to the Texas Civic Health Index. “Some of the numbers are really surprising — maybe even shocking,” said journalism Professor Regina Lawrence, director of the Annette Strauss Institute. She pointed in particular to figures showing that 61.6 percent of voting-eligible Texans reported being registered to vote in 2010 but just 36.4 percent reported voting. That means a “really active one-third” of the voting-eligible population is exerting “outsized influence, if you will, on the future of the state,” she said.”” mysanantonio/default/article/Texas-seen-last-in-voting-4577026.php
