Pro-Redistricting "Democrat" Ron Wilson
By Byron LaMasters
Here's what the Houston Chronicle says:
A Democrat who created the Texas Human Rights Commission and successfully led the fight to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a state holiday, Wilson now stands accused of selling out his minority constituents as Texas' only black legislator to support a Republican redistricting plan.
A man who prides himself on his intellect and ability to work with others, Wilson recently testified in court that he has "the things big enough" to buck his fellow Democrats and then offered to "show them" to a lawyer. He accused state Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, of being a "whiny little 3-year-old girl" before mocking Coleman's bipolar disorder.
[...]
Wilson said that while attending that school, Hartman Junior High School, he learned to hate white people.
[...]
Texas Democratic Party Chairman Charles Soechting sent a public letter to Wilson on Dec. 23, saying he would support Wilson's primary opponent, Allen. He accused Wilson of "spending too much time in the back corridors with your intolerant Republican pals."
"I'm sure your Lamborghini is equipped with a global positioning system," Soechting said. "Perhaps you can use it to help you find the legislative district you abandoned long ago."
Ron Wilson needs to go. He voted for the GOP redistricting plan. That's unacceptable. Alma Allen for State Representative!

Now here's a state house primary battle where Byron and I can wholeheartedly agree- I remember the day that the Killer Ds left, before we knew where they were I went up to the capitol just to see the electricity. I went to the House chamber where all the Republicans were locked in, playing cards, etc. and seeing Ron Wilson there made me sick. When its Joe Nixon, Arlene Wohlgemuth, Wayne Christian and Ron Wilson you know you've got a guy that needs a good kick in the ass in the primary.
Well, I agree too... Not because Wilson supported redistricting, mind you, but because he's a loud-mouthed, race-baiting creep. :)
