The Fort Worth Star-Telegram recently confronted Republican Barbara Nash, the challenger to State Representative Paula Pierson, about a Lone Star Project report detailing her inability to properly document her questionable business affairs. Instead of answering direct questions by reporters Republican Nash passed the buck to her campaign consultant so he could answer for her ethics mess. In so answering, her consultant blamed Rick Perry's staff and her own family. From the Lone Star Project:
The Lone Star Project has filed an open records request with Teresa Spears, Governor Perry's Director of Appointments, and asked if in fact Barbara Nash was advised to answer the application questions only in the present tense. The letter also asks if Nash was advised to omit the fact that she has been involved in numerous bankruptcies, business failures and investigations into elder abuse at nursing homes. The Lone Star Project letter can be seen here.
I don't know about you, but don't you wish that when you filled out applications that ask about your history that you could answer in the present-tense and lie about your questionable past? We as individuals can't run from our past so why should Republican Barbara Nash? The quick answer is, by law, she can't! She must answer honestly for her past like everyone else must do.
But doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about the Republican candidate for House District 93? When the heat is up and tough questions are asked, Republican Nash will evade and ignore in order to avoid answering for herself. She is prepared to throw anyone and everyone under the bus in order to save herself. In other words, if you're on a sinking ship captained by Barbara Nash you best believe she is grabbing the life vest, jumping overboard, and leaving you to go down with her ship. Sounds a lot like her campaign for State Representative doesn't it?
Once again the actions of Republican Barbara Nash are a clear indictment of the type of character and level of integrity, or lack thereof, that she possesses. She is too important, too busy, and too scared to answer the tough questions that District 93 voters have about whether Republican Nash falsified answers on a state document, and what's up with her business affairs.
To House District 93 voters: If Barbara Nash won't answer to the media do you think she will answer to you? The only conclusion one can draw is "no." |
