At last we are beginning to see that even in Texas you can go to far. The fever hasn't been broken but we are beginning to see that there are some Republicans are developing a "backbone ", although that doesn't include Governor Abbott.
Abbott had order that federal training exercises that are going to be conducted be observed in order to placate various wing nuts claims that President Obama was going to do all sorts of horrible and illegal things to our state. Abbott is in a race to crazy with the already crazy Lt. Governor Patrick. Well he may have gone a step to far for even the Texas Republican Party.
Former Republican state legislator Todd Smith is one man that has had enough. He sent a letter to Abbott telling him to get a "backbone", to quit "pandering to idiots" and generally questioning his thought process. His letter is a must read and my be found here.

It isn't the end of this type of idiocy in Texas but I hope we can look back on this as the beginning of the end.
