I'm a Texan, and I vote on the topics, not what some zealot tells me is right. Now granted I do know quite a few people who say "My preacher tells me this House Bill or that Senate Bill is the work of the devil and I'm voting to defeat the devil." It's brainless and sad, all too common place, but thankfully still in the minority.
Like the rest of the country, Texas has some intelligent people and some idiots. It's normal human nature sadly.
