Sad news from Texas. One of the great ladies of Texas and even American politics Former Texas Governor Ann Richards died today. She had cancer. I liked this lady... she was tough and feisty and it was a tragedy that she lost the governorship to George Bush because Texas really suffered and in the long run we all did and are. Take the time to read her memorable speech to the 1988 Democratic Convention.
Condolences to her family.
If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy
