We really can’t stand the Republicans In Name Only down in Austin, let alone on all levels (and right now, most of our current commissioners court are headed towards RINO status). But from a recent Dallas Morning News (Page 4A) comes word that Averitt, R-McGregor, has sponsored legislation that would require people to scan in their fingerprints to purchase beer and cigarettes. Banks already use this method in some regard, thanks to the un-patriotic USA PATRIOT Act. But Averitt, who defeated true conservative Ed Harrison, R-Ovilla, in the 2002 state senate primary, is really showing us his liberal stripes; first he authors the bill to expand Children’s Health Insurance coverage way beyond conservative measures; he’s voted for the Trans-Texas Corridor legislation, as well as being well, just another liberal Republican. We’re talking about a guy who doesn’t have a conservative report card ranking above 50% (except recently, when Heritage Alliance ranked him at 68% - and even that makes him a borderline lefty).
Averitt represents Ellis County, and we’re really wanting the redistricting committee in 2010 to put Sen. Jane Nelson back as our senator in Austin. Talk about a conservative. Averitt doesn’t represent conservatism at all. He’s a liberal. A liberal Republican. Sucks to be him.
