Afternoon Humor
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
It's not often that a Quorum Report story makes me laugh, but oh boy, this afternoon was great. Republican consultant, Royal Masset goes off on a claim that TRMPAC wasn't responsible for winning even a single House seat in the Texas Lege.
"Say something often enough and people will believe it, even if not true says regular contributor Royal Masset" the banner screamed as I thought, yeah, Denial is more than a river in Egypt. The money quote...
I do deny that. Dick DeGuerin is wrong. Tom DeLay and TRMPAC had no impact on the 2002 State House elections. Their efforts won 0 State Rep seats. None. Zero. Nada. Zip. If TRMPAC did not exist the Republicans would have won the same 88 seats.
... But I think it is very important that the truth be told here. The notion that Texas' legislature can be bought is a lie.
Let me pick myself back up off of the floor. The lege can't be bought? Hahaha. Good one. I find it really hard to believe that a Republican PAC, run by people who see politics like business, would spend money that has no effect on house races. It flies in the face of Republican Political Economics.
Let me know where I should send Royal Masset's invitation to join the Reality Based Community.
