Sandra Rodriguez and the Evidence Against Kino Flores


by: Matt Glazer

Mon Feb 11, 2008 at 10:59 PM CST


First the latest TV ad from the Rodriguez campaign.

This is one of the best ads I have seen this cycle. Flores has a lot of baggage ranging from votes during his tenure in office (including the fact Flores is too close to Craddick) to ethical questions surrounding the embattled Craddick D.

Flores is one of the three D's who took ethically questionable Craddick money.  The most disturbing fact is that Flores has gone from political attacks to personal threats against Rodriguez.

He states in the Observer:

  • He is running on his record, he said, but has "everything and anything" he needs to go after Rodriguez's husband, a former three-term state district judge who did not seek re-election. "I haven't accused him of anything," Flores said, "but I have a boxful, ready to go."
  • Looking at a campaign photograph of Rodriguez and her family, Flores said, "She's got kids. She's got these kids that are at home, that have no blame whatsoever. They don't need to be worrying about what their mother is going to go through, or their father. You know, if she wants to go there, that's her bag."
  • "There are some people I can bully, and I can beat the dog shit out of, and I can run off - I've gone through two lottery directors that I had squeezed their nuts and fired them".
  • "Cojones," is his style in Austin. "I'm not afraid to use them."

Rodriguez has been endorsed by Annie's List and community leaders through out HD-36.  Make sure Kino Flores doesn't continue to push this great candidate around and restore a Democratic voice to this valley district.  Donate to Sandra today!

Great TV ad (3.00 / 1)
Kino come lately; too late to fix his record.

I hope Sandra wins the primary race!


wow (3.00 / 1)
amazing ad. kino may have $50k in in his pocket from Craddick, but that ad just neutralized it.  the spanish version is fantastic as well.  "La evidencia dice lo contrario."
