Texas Republicans Launch!

August 6, 2008 By TXsharon

Republicans in the Texas Legislature are all about touting their values and campaign slogans, like “Faith, Family, and Freedom.” But, the real story is often much farther from the truth.

Today, a new website, Texas Republicans: The True Story, has launched to highlight some of the worst GOP incumbents in the Texas Legislature. In “honor” of the first five incumbents featured on the site, we’ve got a quick quiz for you. Let’s see if you can match the incumbents we’re featuring with their records before visiting the site:

1.) Who “stage managed” an effort to kill legislation that would have seriously hampered the ability of large corporations to influence Texas elections?

(a) Rep. Betty Brown; (b) Sen. Mike Jackson; (c) Rep. Dwayne Bohac; (d) Rep. John Davis; (e) Rep. Bill Zedler

2.) Who authored legislation to legalize horse meat for human consumption?

(a) Rep. Betty Brown; (b) Sen. Mike Jackson; (c) Rep. Dwayne Bohac; (d) Rep. John Davis; (e) Rep. Bill Zedler

3.) What legislator has such a poor record that Texas Monthly had to create an entirely new designation for them in their annual “Best & Worst” Legislators list?

(a) Rep. Betty Brown; (b) Sen. Mike Jackson; (c) Rep. Dwayne Bohac; (d) Rep. John Davis; (e) Rep. Bill Zedler

4.) What legislator was part of a citizens group that projected images of scantily clad women on the walls of a Texas courtroom during a hearing before a county judge?

(a) Rep. Betty Brown; (b) Sen. Mike Jackson; (c) Rep. Dwayne Bohac; (d) Rep. John Davis; (e) Rep. Bill Zedler

5.) What legislator said that a 44 percent increase in college tuition wasn’t a problem for his constituents?

(a) Rep. Betty Brown; (b) Sen. Mike Jackson; (c) Rep. Dwayne Bohac; (d) Rep. John Davis; (e) Rep. Bill Zedler

Grab the answers here, and vote in the poll on the sidebar to help us decide which incumbent Republican to feature next.
