This is good work. Sometimes I wonder, though, why they remain silent on women who are also candidates in Fort Bend County. Veronica Torres is a great candidate for District Clerk - she garnered more votes than any other Democratic candidate that ran in 2006. Fredrika Allen is a superior candidate for the 240th District Court. Amazing candidates both. But they did not garner the endorsement of the only women's grassroots organization in Fort Bend County.<br /><br />And for that, I have to ask WHY?Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-65924554783352266402010-10-01T22:08:14.153-05:002010-10-01T22:08:14.153-05:00It's been a while since any comments have been...It's been a while since any comments have been added. I went to the GROW meeting 9/28/10 - which is currently effectively a Democratic party campaign office. Andrews materials including yard signs are there and the staff gives his campaign points. I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, but I have for years been writing and complaining to Charley Howard about his views on gambling and religion and never yet gotten a reply. Andrews sounds like a very satisfactory replacement.Tim DeRosanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-58902045294600640582010-03-27T23:32:27.683-05:002010-03-27T23:32:27.683-05:00Anyone but Charlie Howard or Bob Hebert.

It translates as a scam upon the weak minded, under-educated, and racist bigots who engage in counter activities against their own self interests in the name of religion, anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti- any group that is not White; anti-health care reform; and anti-ability to carry guns even to open meetings where the President is speaking.<br />The political scam is to stroke this darkness and hate by perpetuating lies and deceit. However, what is even more disconcerting is that even though a lot of those who have this darkness and hate within are usually the gullible, weak minded, uninformed, and uneducated; nonetheless, there are some signs of folks who do not necessarily fit this category of the under-educated and uniformed that are jumping on board. So, what I think is that since the election of our first Black President, it has unleashed the racism that is not just within the uneducated and the uninformed. Hence, the deepen reason for the formation of the Teabaggers’ Movement. Although the Teabaggers, here to fore have denied that they were racist; yet, the Teabaggers finally showed their hand to be what we already knew they were when they taunted the Civil Rights’ Icon and called him the N-Word and spat on another Black Congressman and likewise called him the N-Word, and mocked Barney Frank and called him the Fag-Word.<br /><br />John McCain is out this weekend on the campaign trail with Sarah Palin. In my opinion,<br />McCain has dittoed the reason he lost the presidential election. He has bought into the scam.<br /> <br />Sarah Palin is the scam. She is milking it for all it is worth.<br />I guess she does not live in Alaska anymore; she has relocated to the main-land USA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
