Even for such a small man like Bill Zedler, this is beyond the pale.
Watch this video of Bill Zedler, when directly asked by Rep. Chris Turner to cease all attacks on Rep. Turner's family, smiles and plays dumb:
This is the kind of person Republicans want in the State Legislature. Bill Zedler -- the guy who defended a doctor who injected jet fuel into his patients, simply because the doctor gave Zedler cash for his campaign, regardles of how his actions may jeopardize the lives of Texans across the state.
Rep. Turner wrote an e-mail about the unforgiveable attacks today:
My opponent is desperate and spreading blatant lies about my family and me.
In his latest false attack, Zedler attacks my wife and her small business. I know campaigns are tough, but most people can agree that spouses are strictly off-limits.
Apparently, my opponent does not share this basic standard of decency. By trying to use Lisa and her career as a political weapon to win votes, Zedler has proven he will do and say anything to regain power, regardless of the truth. I need your help to show him he can't get away with it.
Donate today. We don't have many opportunities to defeat the absolute craziest State Republicans in Texas, because they often run for office in the most extreme conservative areas of the state. We're not going to defeat Rep. Leo Berman, or Rep. Betty Brown, or Rep. Debbie Riddle in an election cycle. Trying to knock off Rick Perry is, as I wrote earlier this week, an Everest-like challenge.
But we can re-elect Rep. Chris Turner to the Texas House and resoundly reject the cheap personal attacks of Bill Zedler and his Republican ilk. Donate today and help spread the word.
