As we now see a plethora of politicians lining up to condemn what Empower Texans’ staff said, let us recall all of those pious candidates and politicians who have been more than happy to line up at the trough when the checkbook was open, buying loyalty and who knows what else.

The thing is, Empower Texans is no different now then they have been over the years. The language and behaviors exhibited on the recording, I guarantee it’s been that way behind the scenes the whole time.

They are nothing but Christian nationalists attempting to buy their way to the Government mountain, so they can legislate their way to dominion over several others. And condemning them now, when they got caught, doesn’t clear you from swimming in the muck with them.

Anyone on this very long list knew EXACTLY who they were getting in bed with, taking money from Empower Texans or their funders. It's time to reject each and every person or group on this list who is still active in politics.

We make this different only by showing up the ballot box and voting for people who will make real change for our country. It's up to you. And you. And you. <end>
