The Texas Republican Party

Calpundit has an excellent analysis of The New Model Republican Party, in which he details the Texas Republic Party Platform from 2000. Emily at Strangechord has an excellent summary of Calpundit's expose as well, and I recommend reading it as well.

Lest one think that the Texas Republican Platform has nothing to do with anything, it is worth remembering that George W. is connected there, and the pllatform laid out there smacks loudly of policies being pushed at a federal level. I recommend reading both Calpundit and Strangechord and joining the dialog at one or both sites.
