From Peter Morrison this week:
New information provides hard evidence of Joe Straus’ pro-abortion and anti-family-values agenda.
The fight to replace liberal, pro-abortion Joe Straus as Texas Speaker of the House continues. If you have not contacted your state representative, please do so and encourage them to vote for a true conservative for Speaker. You can find who represents you here:
http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/
If you have a newly elected Republican state representative, please see the list of contact information below. Voting on Speaker will be among the first official acts that your new state representative will get to do in the upcoming Legislative Session and they need to hear from you now, before they make up their mind on this important issue!
Remember, this is your state representative, not your Congressman. Finally, even if you have taken action on this, please make personal appeals in your circle of influence for others to contact their representative. Absent an outcry from the grassroots, Republican politicians will once again betray their base.
Don’t let the gains of November 2nd slip away due to complacency. Holding Republicans accountable after the election is just as important as defeating liberals during elections.
Last week, I told you about Joe Straus’ radical left-wing associations in regards to abortion. This week, I can provide you with even more hard proof of Joe Straus’ positions.
The pro-Straus camp is trumpeting the endorsement of Straus by a group purporting to represent the pro-life point of view. In response to this, Cathie Adams of Eagle Forum released a report exposing once and for all Straus’ pro-abortion agenda:
“When the leading abortion provider in the country, Planned Parenthood, honors Texas House Speaker Joe Straus in their fall 2009 newsletter, Horizon, for ‘his tireless efforts on behalf of Texas women and children during the last legislative session,’ it explains why every pro-life bill was killed during the session. (It is further explained by the fact that Speaker Straus received a 100% rating by the radical pro-abortion group NARAL, and that he even voted in support of third-trimester abortions (SB 419, vote 672, 2005).)”
I should note that Straus’ challengers, Rep. Chisum and Rep. Paxton, both are rated a zero by this pro-abortion group. You can verify these facts here:

In addition, I feel I should share with you an item from a homosexual newspaper, the Dallas Voice. They’re clearly upset with the results of the recent election. It’s headlined “If one of these nutjobs defeats Joe Straus for House speaker, we could be in deep doo-doo.” The following is the unedited text of their story lamenting the possible loss of Straus as Speaker:
“If Rep. Joe Straus is ousted as speaker of the Texas House, it’s safe to say it will not be a good thing for the LGBT community. Dennis Coleman, executive director of Equality Texas, confirmed the obvious yesterday when he told us the statewide gay-rights group is sincerely hoping Straus can hang on to his post.
“One of Straus’ challengers, Rep. Warren Chisum of Pampa, is among the biggest homophobes in the Texas Legislature. Chisum was the primary author of Texas’ 2005 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, and he’s also been behind efforts to outlaw gay foster and adoptive parents.
“Another candidate for speaker, Rep. Ken Paxton of McKinney, who entered the race this week, doesn’t appear to be much better than Chisum on LGBT issues. Paxton was a co-author of the marriage amendment and voted in favor of a ban on gay foster parents in 2005.
“Straus, meanwhile, voted in favor of the marriage amendment — not to do so might have been political suicide — but he did not sign on as an author. He also voted against the gay foster parent ban, which was actually killed by socially moderate Republicans like himself. Straus attends a gay-affirming synagogue that performs same-sex marriages in San Antonio.”
Hypersensitive liberals will likely flip out because I quoted this article. I’ve been subjected to a number of vile attacks over the last week from the liberal media because I mentioned, in passing, the religious affiliation of Rep. Chisum and Paxton in my last newsletter.
Yet here we have a liberal media outlet, The Dallas Voice, making religious slurs against Rep. Chisum and Paxton (“homophobes” and “nutjobs” are the liberals’ favorite epithets for Bible-believing Christians) and then a comparative reference to Joe Straus’ religious affiliation, of which they obviously approve.
As we all know, there’s one set of rules for the liberals, and another set of rules for the rest of us.
Because of this double standard, don’t look for the liberals to condemn the Dallas Voice for “injecting religion” into the Speaker’s race. Let me be clear about this quote: the issue is not religion; the issue is Straus’ endorsement by radical homosexuals. If Joe Straus is as conservative as he claims to be, why do they think they will be in “deep doo-doo” if he isn’t re-elected Speaker?
In another article from 2009, the Dallas Voice describes Straus as an “ally.”
Rarely do we see the Left on full display as in this article. You see, if you believe homosexuals shouldn’t be married, like the vast majority of Texans and Rep. Chisum and Paxton, you’re a nutjob and a “homophobe.” This same group that endorsed Straus, Equality Texas, is currently conducting a fundraising tour with foul-mouthed lesbian comedian Sandra Bernhard. You may recognize her name from 2008, when she publicly called for the gang rape of Sarah Palin.
We’re really starting to see the Left circle the wagons to protect Straus. Conservatives across the state are being called bigots for daring to oppose the Establishment’s preferred candidate. That means we’re being effective, as the Left only drags out these nasty charges of “bigotry,” “racism” and the like when they can’t win politically and hope to simply intimidate their opponents with name-calling; we saw this tactic on display this summer when the media falsely accused the Tea Parties of racism. Rush Limbaugh got it right when he defined a “bigot” as “someone winning an argument with a liberal.”
Straus and his opponents also continue to use unethical bullying tactics to intimidate the opposition. Rep. Chuck Hopson, the chair of the House Ethics Committee, is telling the press that my efforts to help voters communicate with their representative about the Speaker’s race is a crime! Yes, you read that correctly, he thinks you and I are criminals guilty of “coercing a public servant” just because we dare to demand our representatives take a certain action.
This is the same Rep. Hopson that amazingly discovered he was a Republican just before the 2010 primary, when he switched parties in an obvious attempt to save his political hide. He is hardly an impartial chair of the House Ethics Committee, considering the $42,000 that Speaker Straus gave him earlier this year.
The arrogance of these politicians never ceases to amaze me. They really do think they’re better than you, and according to liberal “journalists” like Paul Burka of Texas Monthly, now that the election is over, you need to shut up and let the “grownups” make the decisions.
That’s okay though, because thanks to the Internet and the efforts of citizens like you, never again will liberal politicians and their media allies be able to monopolize public opinion. We won and they lost in the last election, and to the winner goes the spoils. The fact that Joe Straus, the choice of the 51 Democrats, is even a viable candidate for the Speakership when Republicans hold 99 seats shows how much work we still have to do. We must continue to use all means at our disposal to make Republican politicians represent the interests of conservative voters.
The fight to replace liberal, pro-abortion Joe Straus as Texas Speaker of the House continues. If you have not contacted your state representative, please do so and encourage them to vote for a true conservative for Speaker. You can find who represents you here:

Finally, even if you have taken action on this, please make personal appeals in your circle of influence for others to contact their representative. Send this alert to any conservative email lists you can, and personally encourage friends and family to make a phone call. Believe me, representatives are VERY attentive to calls from constituents; they assume, correctly, that each call represents hundreds of others who feel the same way.
Absent an outcry from the grassroots, Republican politicians will once again betray their base.

Note from the Pundit: I usually try not to comment during Peter’s posts (what is there to say? The guy’s excellent every time out of the box!), but I will just add this. At one of the churches I attend regularly the guest speaker made this comment just before the election:
“The Tea Party is a group with a focus on fiscal (budget) issues. The social (i.e., Pro Life) issues have fallen by the wayside with the Tea Party. Yet it is the Social issues with the most durability. While a Pro-Choice Republican may not always support the fiscal issues, a Pro-Life Conservative will ALWAYS support the fiscal issues, every single time.”
Joe Straus is Pro-Choice; which by the speaker’s definition means he may not always be strong on budget issues. That’s MORE than enough reason for me.
