LUCIO III DESERTS FELLOW DEMS; FRUIT DOESN'T FALL FAR...

 
(Ed.'s Note: We are kind of used to having Sen. Eddie Lucio side with Texas Senate Republicans on everything from redistricting to denying women a choice on the abortion question, and we should have expected that his son, Eddie Lucio III would follow in daddy's footsteps.

Lucio III, who left with other Democrats of the Texas House to Washington D.C. to prevent a quorum to prevent Texas Republicans from approving a far-right agenda in the first special session, is back in Texas and attending the session.

It was his father who voted with the Republicans to take control of the legislature by casting the deciding vote on doing away with the "gentlemen's agreement" to allow Democrat participation in the Senate. That was the the two-thirds rule that gave Democrats in the senate a tool to blunt the GOP excesses. Now they don't have to count on two thirds of the senate, which would have included Democrats.

Lucio Jr. has always sought refuge in religion, proselytize about women's reproductive rights being in violation of God's law, voted with Republicans against worker compensation benefits, went along with doctors and corporations to fight for "tort reform" laws, and continues to rake in the bucks as a "consultant" to local governmental entities on behalf of the highest bidder.

The Texas Freedom Network (TFN) and Planned Parenthood Texas Votes (PPTV), leveled all the criticisms Lucio has faced for years. In his three-decade legislative career, the literature noted, the state senator has joined Republicans to support measures including school vouchers, bathroom restrictions for transgender Texans, and abortion rollbacks.

Now, while his fellow Democrats like Alex Dominguez from Brownsville and Gina Hinojosa from Austin continue to fight Abbott's thinly-disguised right-wing Trumpist agenda and restrictive voting measures, Eddie III is back in the Abbott fold to open the door to limit minority voting rights.

Did you hear that? Sounded like putrid fruit falling from the rotting tree.)

What is the difference in what Abbott is doing and what the pinche momia Biden is doing? Nothing. It’s good for one but bad if the other does it. So Juan, are you saying that it is ok for a woman to kill her unborn child because it would be an inconvenience for the her? And before you start saying that it’s their body and what about rape victims who end up pregnant because of the rape…. Those are a very small percentage of the millions of abortions being done. Why not let the mother kill their one, two or 18 year olds… it’s the same thing… murder! They do have a choice…. But they chose to having sex unprotected. So good for Senator Lucio for standing up for the most vulnerable…. The unborn.
