156: The Definition of R.I.N.O....GEREN...PHELAN...

Texas State Rep. Charlie Geren has become the poster child for "Republicans In Name Only!"

First he killed the GOP Legislative Priority #5, to ban Democrat Committee Chairs by playing procedural games against Conservative Bryan Slaton who was attempting to fulfill it.

Then he then demonstrated his intent to kill another; a ban on gender modification of Children, by making it clear to a man posing as a father who was transitioning his five year old boy to a girl that such a decision "was between a parent and the Lord." In other words, removing the genitals of a minor child is not, according to Geren, child abuse.

Geren, and many like him currently serving in the Texas State House of Representatives, is one of the best reasons that Texas should have term limits and why Republican Primary voters should take a closer look at candidates, especially incumbents, who campaign as strong conservative republicans but who legislate like Democrats.
