Proposition 6: Drowning Us In Debt?

Screenshot from 2013-10-07 20:50:51Moderate Republicans sided with Democrats to raid Texas’ rainy day fund for water projects.  Their priorities are backward — the most important projects should be funded first, not pushed off to the end then punted to the voters.  Note that local representative Giovanni Capriglione fought for transparency and accountability but couldn’t overcome the liberal and irresponsible establishment.

Dallas Morning News Bias – October 6, 2013

From yesterday:
*Giving ground on WWII Memorial, p. 1A – DMN Dem scribes Todd Gillman and Emily Wilkins quote two WWII vets here: one who says, “Obama is a great president. I’m not knocking him at all,” the other, “[The shutdown] is probably structured by Ted Cruz. He’s pleased, I think.” So Dear Leader Obama is the first U.S. president to cravenly close open-air war memorials during a shutdown and DMN scribes can’t find a single vet to say a bad word about him. That’s journalistic corruption, dear readers. … BTW, you haven’t and won’t see this in The News: a Park Ranger says, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”
