because of all the Bible references and whatnot, but at least he is a proponent of real Christianity w/regards to the treatment of immigrants and the poor and people in general, while emphasizing the Love side of Jesus' teachings. Thing is, of course, you have to address all that when you're running in a state like Texas with all the deep seated religious feeling there.

Having said that, now that he is the candidate I support everything he is fighting for. I hope Ms Crockett can stay involved going forward. She is a power.

Turn Texas blue!
