Those so-called "Conservative" Talk show and News Channel hosts are too freakin' scared of the religious right to mention stupid drug laws and S*X!

And don't even get me started on MADD!

...besides...what would they do if they lost THEIR revenue stream from all of the above!

The conservative right-wingers believe that the gubment should stay out of bidness. You should be free to run your bidness like you see fit.
They do like to legislate morality though.

When I was in class for my concealed carry permit I spoke with one of the legislators that helped the concealed carry law in Texas. He told me open carry wasn't considered because
.... the aim was to deter criminals, and if they could see you carrying they would merely choose someone that wasn't carrying.
As far as prostitution being legal....Our state government reflected the social mores or morality or social preferences of the majority of the citizens......White, Southern Baptists and their preferences/sensitivities or ethos. Even though the good church members may be hobbyists, it was kept strictly on the down low, and hush hush.
Texas for a long time was a Blue state.....if memory serves me correctly Bill Clements was the first Republican Governor around 1983

All of them do it. A politicians main goal these days is job security, to make themselves more necessary.

Thank god they can all agree on prostitution though, eh?
