Sure. You could abstain. Then you for sure will get what you absolutely don't want.

Again, you've got 2 choices and one is clearly, by a long amount, more likely to produce the results I want. The other is 1000% likely to produce the results i don't want.

So, abstain all you want. Its stupid and self defeating. If you want tceh to ruin your day twice, go for it


Better to abstain, wait six years to get the right person in office than elect Paxton and have him in office in perpetuity.


This is lunacy. Especially if it's a 50-50 or 51-49 makeup in the Senate. Every seat is important and every vote is make or break for things that matter over the course of 6 years. You're talking a possible complete change in makeup of the federal bench or even scotus based on this seat.

Simply not worth it.

no. you should have campaigned harder for Cornyn if you hate Paxton so much. Primaries is how you do it, not letting socialists win and trying to vote yourself out of a mess in six years.

They might get it via other races with other crazy regime candidates such as in Maine, but you can't cede US Senate to the marxist regime. You can't vote yourself out of socialism once you vote yourself into it. Look at California now. Look at Venezuela from the 90s to now. It took Argentina about 5-6 decades to finally start being able to vote themselves out of socialism - and they are not in the clear yet.

Paxton wrote a letter you don't like to the Big12 office. But he also still has a long track recording of fighting against federal overreach, defending state's sovereignty against the feds, border security, election integrity, etc. he's not socialist or crazy full commie like tularco and he's not uniparty fake non-socialist like cornyn. Need to vote Paxton now and primary him in 6 years if there's a better choice.

Pretty transparent attempts here to keep the anti-talarico voter at home so the freak has a better chance. This is just another cynical appeal for others to take the so-called "high road" on principles to get your own party candidate in office. Shameful...

you aren't so naive as to think that one court ruling is absolute, are you?


No. I suggested the NCAA drop the current ruling and limit the punishment to 2 years instead of lifetime and make "medical treatment" be part of the deal. That addresses the courts points.

But the way it is now, there won't be any more court hearings until the season is over. And if thing is done, then he has to play. And a conference can't do much. There is no legal grounds as Tech is just following the court order.


Tech wasn't ordered to let Soresby play. Or even start him.


The court ordered he is eligible. Tech is playing an eligible player. He should not be eligible and this is what the NCAA should keep ruling and let the Tech billionaire spend his money going back to court.

Teams in conference can't boycott games against conference members for playing an eligible player that they don't like.

But conferences have always had member rules and guidelines above and beyond what NCAA eligibility is. Conference affiliation is an at will partnership and Tech agreed to the terms and rules of said partnership, up to and including member sanctions in their bylaws.

That's what the primary was for. Paxton won and now is your choice if you prefer anl candidate more oriented towards the right.

It's that or real disaster

act blue farms out and launders foreign $ or large non-pac $ through harvested / scraped / hacked email addresses. they are a laundering operation. corrupt activist judges won't allow them to be investigated.

No, it isn't.

You also have a major flaw in your logic.

Given the nature of party primaries its difficult to get someone out once they get in.

I mean the success rate is atrocious.

We are better of losing...and making up for it now than have the stain of Ken Paxton perpetually hanging over us.

You keep saying "we". Are you talking about the democrats? Because sure, voting in Talarico is surely better for them. There is no planet on which 6 years of Talarico in the senate representing Texas is better for the Rs.

Whether any of us like it or not, a judge has ordered the NCAA to let him play. The conference is considering penalizing a state university for something they went to court over and won. It is a legit thing for the AG to provide an opinion about what the consequences of that could be.

I found this reddit thread about Ken Paxton threatening the Big 12, and it was posted by someone with a Texas A&M flair.

No, it's not. Especially when another state agency (UH) would take a diametrically opposite view and be a party to any such suit, and the ruling is ridiculously wrong. He was under no obligation whatsoever to write this letter. He did it to curry favor with one of his donors. Period.

So would every other democrat. I will worry about what happens 6 years from now after enjoying 6 years of not having Talarico representing me.

I am no Paxton fan, but I don't want Talarico anywhere near the Senate…policy wise I side with Paxton on the majority of issues, I share none with Talarico…it really isn't a tough call for me…

ETA - I want him nowhere near making a vote on Supreme Court Justices as well, which could very likely be in the 6 years you think he would only serve.

I am not a fan of Ken Paxton, but I would vote for him over James Talarico because I share most of his positions and none of Talarico's positions. There is no scenario where one term of Talarico is better for Republicans in the long run. A Talarico win could flip control of the Senate to the Democrats, which could mean confirmation of radical liberal nominees under a Democratic presidential administration. Beating incumbent US Senator Talarico in 2032 will be significantly harder than it is in 2026. Abstaining in the general election or voting for a third party means fewer votes that Talarico needs to win the general election.

the psyop objective is to get everyone so angry and appalled that Ken Paxton's state AG office wrote a letter to the big 12 that it makes people stay home and not vote. they need distractions and faux outrage to get people to forget about the extreme far left crazy nut bar tallarco's messed up takes.

I can't believe we FINALLY got rid of Cornyn and have a chance to get a real conservative voice into the Senate instead, and now there are people who would rather vote for a democrat because Paxton did something that cost basically nothing for a donor or because he cheated on his wife. Newsflash, ALL politicians do special favors for their biggest donors. Newsflash, a great many politicians cheat on their spouses. We are not voting on who to invite to be our best friend and hunting buddy for the next 6 years, we are voting for who will go to Washington DC and represent Texas as a conservative voice for the next 6 years. The obvious choice is obvious...

Paxton has no principles. He's an opportunist. Fortunately, that will probably be enough to get him to vote the right way in the Senate, but thinking that Paxton is anything but a totally unscrupulous, vile human being is naive. He will be in good company in the Senate.

This is an insane take. Not to mention Paxton clearly can't keep it in his pants and will probably get me too'd by an intern before his term is up.

I'm simply stunned that the Democrats were able to pull off the feat of finding the one guy in Texas that might be a bigger ****** bag than Beto. Their incompetence and hardline mediocrity is actually quiet impressive. It takes a lot of effort to be as bad as they are at their jobs and still get half the country to worship them.

The Democrat's complete lack of ever having any kind of ethical/moral compass combined with Marxist ideals has produced the greatest threat this country has ever seen. What's impressive about that, is that they're not using a superior military to try and take down the country but economic war fare through pure mediocrity and propaganda. Yet stupid people line up to vote for them in droves.

Again, I am not voting for the guy I want to marry my sister. I am not voting for the guy I want to share an infantry trench with. I am not voting for who I would most like to share a car with on a cross country road trip. I am voting for the guy who is most likely to vote the way I want him to when bills come up for votes in the US Senate. Out of Cornyn, Talarico, or Paxton, the answer there is very easy. Cornyn has had plenty of time to see the light and never did, Talarico has made it abundantly clear who his real god is.

Not a fan of Paxton's pay to play by backing Sorsby.

Whether any of us like it or not, a judge has ordered the NCAA to let him play. The conference is considering penalizing a state university for something they went to court over and won. It is a legit thing for the AG to provide an opinion about what the consequences of that could be.

No, it's not. Especially when another state agency (UH) would take a diametrically opposite view and be a party to any such suit, and the ruling is ridiculously wrong. He was under no obligation whatsoever to write this letter. He did it to curry favor with one of his donors. Period.


You keep saying this and it's still wrong. The party is the Big 12. Not UH.

I can't believe we FINALLY got rid of Cornyn and have a chance to get a real conservative voice into the Senate instead, and now there are people who would rather vote for a democrat because Paxton did something that cost basically nothing for a donor or because he cheated on his wife. Newsflash, ALL politicians do special favors for their biggest donors. Newsflash, a great many politicians cheat on their spouses. We are not voting on who to invite to be our best friend and hunting buddy for the next 6 years, we are voting for who will go to Washington DC and represent Texas as a conservative voice for the next 6 years. The obvious choice is obvious...

Paxton has no principles. He's an opportunist. Fortunately, that will probably be enough to get him to vote the right way in the Senate, but thinking that Paxton is anything but a totally unscrupulous, vile human being is naive. He will be in good company in the Senate.


He has conservative principals. Proven time and time again. I get the establishment went after him, but he pushed back and it was proven there was zero evidence against him.

The opportunist were those trying to go after him. They tried and failed.

You keep saying "we". Are you talking about the democrats? Because sure, voting in Talarico is surely better for them. There is no planet on which 6 years of Talarico in the senate representing Texas is better for the Rs.


I'll take 6 years of Talarico over 24 of Ken Paxton.
Well, that makes one of us.

Keep trying to clean up this mess and you just wear yourself out. From your the Paxton letter:

Quote:
[G]roup boycotts involving a horizontal conspiracy to foreclose a market participant are considered per se
violations of [the Sherman Act].")

The Big XII may or may not take formal action. The individual members may decide to boycott Tech, and this threat from Paxton is intended to head that off. In such a group boycott, you'd have to join the members of the group if you want injunctive relief against them barring a boycott.
