There is an overlooked Republican success story right here in Texas when it comes to this election. The Texas Congressional delegation gained a Republican seat in this election. This is overshadowed by the Democratic gains in Congress, which came in other states.
Despite the difficult political climate that led to Democratic gains across the country, Republicans in Texas managed to take a Democratic seat back into the GOP column. Pete Olson defeated incumbent Democrat Nick Lampson in Texas' 22nd district. Pete will represent parts of southwestern Harris County, areas between Houston and Galveston and areas west of Houston into Fort Bend County, including Sugar Land.
Pete's victory increases the Republican numbers to 20 Texas Congressmen, a full 63% of the Lone Star State's representatives in Congress are Republican.
Texas' congressional Republicans made these gains based on the hard work of Republicans across the state, and for that we are thankful.
In fact, our Texas Congressional delegation will represent a a little more than 10% of the Republicans in Congress, giving Texans an important voice in the direction of our country.

Hi I am new on virtual
Hi I am new on virtual tourist, cool site! I am thinking about going to Hawaii next week. I haven't been to Haiwaii yet.I don't really know vcp 410 testking which island to pick. Also know from travelling, that what looks great on-line isn't as great when your there and vice versa. So what am I looking for? Well, 3-5 star resort. Some resort that prides itself on service and upkeep. Not run down, unclean testking pmi-001 etc.. I want what any seasoned Haiwaii traveller comes to know: which resort has Value. That becomes the "spot" to go when in Haiwaii or at least the spot to go to for that particular island. Something in the 100-140 USD a night area... Also, I would like at least one night at a 5-6 star resort, too and doesn't have to be on the same island. I have a feeling that the Hyatt, Nikko, Le Meridian, Club Med, Ritz Carlton will all be more pricy than sscp exam their Bali or Malaysian locations because it is on US soil. So, if there are any best kept secrets in the high-end hotel/resorts -value /package etc please tell.

Republican in Texas
I've been thinking about changing my party affiliation. I've been a Republican since I voted for Reagan's 2nd term. He advocated a reduced government that I thought would be a reality when Newt introduced the Contract with America. With few exceptions, the GOP has fallen short on their promises to uphold conservative values. Sometimes, they don't even bother to promise.
From here on out, the Republican party can no longer take my vote for granted. I will never again vote for the lesser of 2 evils. If anyone wants my vote, he or she MUST fight for the sanctity of life. MUST fight to reduce government including government funding in state projects. MUST conduct business above board honestly. MUST value principle over partisanship. MUST fight for basic human rights world wide including refusing to develop business ties with countries like N. Korea and China which treat people like exploitable commodities. MUST defend our physical borders.
Compromising our values has not brought us peace with our opponents nor success in achieving a smaller more responsive government. We're being taxed through the nose yet still charged extra whenever we want a road or school built. We're told to keep our religion to ourselves while our teachers undermine our authority in the classroom. Our oil is produced by terrorists and our clothes are made by communists. Now that our falsely inflated economy has finally collapsed, we can build on solid principle.
Republican Success in Texas
I knew about this success. Just one of the reasons why I'm considering defecting to Texas!
