Political rhetoric...tell the people what they want to hear. Most of us old fogies know better than to believe what a politician spews regardless. We are stuck in this fallen world filled with those who chose not to do what is right because it is the right thing to do. It is always about money, power and/or fame = Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. It is never about loving the Lord our God with our whole heart, soul and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves. There is no fear of God and most do not study the scriptures to learn how God dealt with Israel when they disobeyed and disregarded God and chose to live like the nations around them which God had warned against. And so here we are...dealing with deceptive leaders. Nothing has changed.
I agree. Though I would say we are making progress. Americans are more aware of the kinds of things you are talking about than they have been in a long time. Though I share your distress that the message doesn't seem to be getting through to most of our Texas political leaders!
Under Dustin Burrows, and the weak House leadership, the beatings will continue!
