8. Barton is up now. trying to divert LIHEAP funds to texas...

for the hot summers.

Cause keeping people from freezing to death in their sleep isn't as important as keeping Texans cooled off.

Okay, I've had heat stroke in AZ, sitting in a car in traffic, not drinking any fluids... it's bad.
But I have also lived in AZ with no cooling except a fan during that stretch of 120+ degree days, 10 years ago, and I was 8 mo. pregnant.

I have had a friend lose her baby sister because she FROZE overnight.

He was Bush's accountant and good friend for many years.

Plus, the only reason he got in was because of Texas's illegal gerrymandering plan.
