Dallas and King a political tale of two counties

Good afternoon


We just returned from a short vacation to Dallas,Texas.
As I look back on our trip its truly amazing how a county run by a conservative
government is so different from one run by liberals.



Lets take a look at some of the differences.
there gas is less than 2 dollars a gallon.
my wife and I took a ride on there rail system.
a system put together pretty
well I might add.you can actually by a brand
new house for less than 130,000 dollars.



The people for the most part seem pretty
happy with life in Dallas.They continue to
build and expand a record number of businesses
and homes.I could go on and on but I think
you get the idea.




Contrast all of that with king county.
there gas tax is the highest in the nation
right now. The rail system oh wait!
king doesn't have one have. They just spent
millions trying to determine what to do.





As far as buying a house is concerned
If you are lucky you might find one
under 250,000 dollars.A majority of
people here are still not over the 2004
presidential elections.Just look at
all the cars that have either a john kerry
bumper sticker or a moveon.org sticker.




Lets jump back for a moment to Texas.
It was a short 20 years ago that the state
was run by democrats.The republicans in
Texas conceived a plan to turn the state
into a republican one.


Now it took over 20 years to accomplish
the job but they did it.It was a brilliantly
conceived plan.It worked because people
didn't give up.


Contrast that with the GOP here.
well do I really need to do that.
