The teabagging of State Rep Larry Taylor

State Representative Larry Taylor, the Insurance salesman who heads the Insurance Committee in the Texas House, isn't conservative enough for the local teabags:

The Clear Lake Tea Party is not just “wishing” for a change in the Speakership. They are taking action by staging a protest rally at Rep. Larry Taylor’s office.
Taylor has a good conservative rating of 87% by Young Conservatives of Texas, but he is a Republican who appears to lack the courage to do what the conservative voters in his district demand: a conservative Speaker of the House.

That being the ultra right wing Warren Chisum. It is not enough for these loney tune teabags to have an overwhelming majority in both houses and the ability to pass whatever they want including "loser pays" tort reform which will end civil litigation in the state. They have enough to vote in vouchers for rich kids and massive cuts to education. And let's not forget about the voter ID bill that will fix a problem that doesn't exist.

But, no. The baggers want more including control of the local republican party. There has been an ongoing spat with the Chair, John LeCour. Recently they claimed he has stopped someone from running for precinct chair:

We have an intelligent, attractive young woman who has been trying to become a precinct chair for months.  Apparently John has changed his rules, once again.  She now has to pass an interview with HIM!  Now wait, that's not the best part, he insists that the interview will be conducted within HER HOME!!!!!!  Tell me there isn't something wrong with that one!?!?!

Precinct chairs are elected positions. You only need to fill out a form available from the County. There is more unrest in the party, but that is something for later.

Back to Larry. Look for Taylor to get teabagged in the 2012 primary. It will be fun to watch.
