Burnt Orange Report

Hello Texans

Even though I am a Texas Aggie and no longer live in Texas, I can forgive you for the title of your blog. From what I can read here in "Burnt Orange" country, there are at least 5 sane Texans. The 5th one is my son--living with his family just north of Austin.
To say the least, keep up the good work!

I just found this (thanks to the Perry rumors) and I'm glad I did. I've been waiting years for this...a place to talk politics with a Texas focus. Great job guys!

Likewise to the last post, I found you guys checking out the Perry rumor, and appreciate your broad focus on politics from a UT, Democratic perspective.

By the way, now that Dean's out, how do you -- Andrew, Byron, Jim, Karl -- feel about Kerry, Edwards, etal.?

I'm currently undecided. Kerry makes me squirm a bit, but Edwards will have a more difficult time going toe to toe with Bush on national security. I'd love to see Edwards charm, looks, personality, youthfulness, vigor, marketability and ability to sell his arguement morphed with Kerry's national security / war creditability, veteran support and experience, but alas we must choose one or the other. They're perfect compliments to each other on a ticket, and I'd love to see that as our ticket but I'm honestly not sure who best leads it.

So Byron, what about Kerry makes you squeamish? I personally favor him over Edwards because all Edwards talks about are his humble past and the evils of free trade. Kerry has enough national security credibility to take Bush, so I'm in favor of a Kerry/Edwards ticket. Maybe with Edwards on it they have a chance to take a southern state.

You guys are great. My linking to you may be a dubious honor, but I'm proud to have any association with you whatsoever. Cheers.

Re Perry flap: There are no HARD facts yet. FYI picture of the Gov and spouse at the Arena football game in Monday's Statesman.

I'm not a UT student,But my son is. Dean may be down but he is not out. He is still on the ballot and he gets my vote. He put the democratic party on the right track. They sure didn't seem to be able to locate the tracks until they led him to them. We need truly progressive delegates at the National convention to help keep this party headed down the tracks.
I don't hold out much hope they'll stay on the track without the grassroots pushing them along!

I'm a TexasEx and now I live in Cincinnnati. It's so good to have a connection with my former Texas Dems. What a great site, THANKS!

Someday when all the writers of the Burnt Orange Report have real jobs, maybe even own a business, you'll get this.

Ok Max... I'm a capitolist silly... why do you think I've joined BlogAds? I love capitolism and I love liberalism. They're compatable for some of us....

Hey guys, great website. Although I am probably on the other side of the aisle of you, it's not by far. I worked for Gov. Bullock in the 97th Leg - he called me his little Republican. Truth be told, my politics tend to make my conservative friends think I've crossed the aisle! Will enjoy the exchange of ideas.

Hook 'Em!!

Forget about red states vs. blue states. Let's think orange. Let orange bleed into the country but let's keep Austin weird.

You go Ricky!!

Thank you for demonstrating to this jaded Aussie that at least some Americans are thoughtful, respectful and decent. A lot of us had begun to think you were all like your President - dangerously stupid. I look forward to reading more articles about the things that should matter to us all - respect for freedom, obligation to our community, and a general desire to behave well.

Have you considered adding an Atom feed to your current RDF syndication?

Thanks for assuring me that there is some semblance of intelligence in my soon to be adopted favorite state
If a Jewish cowboy can make it in NYC, a politically incorrect liberal from Boston has a chance in Austin

Sorry TX got the short end at the DNC, ( the nosebleed section at the fleet center) you can host the next one !!!

Cheers

Wow. You liberals remind me of why I'm attending A&M. I don't think I could cope with that much nonsense. I'm socially conservative, and everytime I think of a great national party advocating killing babies and allowing those of the same sex to 'have relations' with one another, and the fact that people vote for such heartless and soulless monsters, I lose a little bit of faith in my fellow human beings. I'm all for helping the poor and unemployed, and providing health coverage to American citizens, because those are decent, godly things one can do to help one's fellow man. But redefining marriage, and especially allowing and even promoting infanticide is an abhorrent trait marking only the blackest of souls.

May God have mercy on you all, and thank God I live in Aggieland.

I'm an Aggie (Class of '87) - not all of us are mouth-breathing members of the flat-earth society - and enjoy the site very much. Keep up the good work!

This blog rocks.

Hard. Keep up the awesome work.
