67% of Texas Republicans want Obama Impeached, 12% Democrats, 15% Blacks

Texas does not like Obama. Over 2/3rds of Texas Republicans want Obama impeached. More surprising though is even a large number of Texas Democrats and Blacks want him impeached!

Texas Congressman Steve Stockman made national news early in 2013 when he declared that he would try to block funding of any Obama unconstitutional gun control executive orders, and that they would be grounds for Congressman Stockman to file impeachment papers against President Obama.

The following info by Noel Sheppard from NewsBusters:

If Democrats are serious about trying to turn Texas blue, they should get a gander at a just-released poll of Lone Star State voters that found 67 percent of Republican respondents support the impeachment of President Obama.
Of greater concern for liberals: the poll was conducted by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.
As a whole, Texans opposed impeachment 50 percent to 39 percent.
But in the crosstabs, PPP broke this down by party affiliation with Democrats opposed 83 percent to 12 percent, Republicans in favor 67 percent to 18 percent, and Independents opposed 54 percent to 32 percent.
Amazing that even 12 percent of Democrats support impeachment.
Also interesting was the racial breakdown concerning this issue with Whites supporting impeachment 48 percent to 41 percent, Blacks opposed 80 percent to 15 percent, and Hispanics opposed 58 percent to 30 percent.
Again, it's amazing that even 15 percent of Blacks would support his impeachment.
It was also fascinating to see the breakdown by age as people older than 65 supported impeachment 46 percent to 38 percent, folks 46 to 65 opposed 46 percent to 42 percent, and people 18 to 45 opposed 66 percent to 27 percent.
So in Texas, the older you are, the more likely you want Obama impeached.
Something else to consider is that 56 percent of respondents were women with 44 percent men.
As women were far more likely to oppose impeachment (53 percent to 36 percent) than men (46 percent to 41 percent), a more equal sampling of the sexes would have found a greater percentage of Texans supporting impeachment.

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
  
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 
  
Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968
  
I would like to encourage all of my fellow Republicans to take a moment today to honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
  
Dr. King was a minister and the most famous civil rights activist in our American history and it was his work on behalf of civil rights that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 at age 35, making him the youngest person in history to receive the honor.
  
Dr. King is most often remembered for his, "I Have a Dream" speech, which included a reference to the Declaration of Independence and went on to say, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
  
Dr. Martin Luther King fought for equality, for justice and for human dignity.  These are not ideals that belong to the Republican Party or to the Democrat Party.  These are American ideals that belong to all freedom-loving Americans.
  
As our Declaration of Independence says most eloquently, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
  
Dr. King stood for these ideals, lived for these ideals and ultimately, died for them.
  
Regardless of political philosophy or party affiliation, we should all stop for a moment today and remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life, his work and the truly American ideals for which he stood.
Sincerely,

Jared WoodfillChairman, Harris County Republican Party 

CNN Admits: Republican elected officials more racially diverse than Democrats

from CNN:

Everybody knows the Republican Party is basically an all-white bastion, right? After all, even Colin Powell condemned the "dark vein of intolerance" that has flowed through his party since the post-civil rights era political realignment.
 
Now with President Barack Obama leading the Democrats into a second term -- buoyed by overwhelming victory margins among African-Americans and Hispanics -- it's clear the GOP has some serious catching up to do.
 
This is why it might surprise you to hear that Republicans are by far the more diverse party when it comes to statewide elected officials such as senators and governors. On this front, they leave Democrats in the dust. And that's why the GOP actually has a greater depth of diversity on their potential presidential bench looking to 2016 and beyond.
 
It's counterintuitive but true. Numbers don't lie. Let's start with a look

MSNBC Abandons GOP Convention During Every Speech by a Minority

This is a GREAT article from the Daily Caller.

Apparently, MSNBC does not want Americans to see that there are MANY minority Republican Leaders. This liberal news network seems to have cut away from covering the Republican National Convention when a black or Hispanic leaders were on stage speaking.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
