The more I find out about Juan Garcia, the more I don't believe him. If I don't believe a man, then I certainly vote won't for him."
That's how Todd Hunter's ad closes as he attacks House District 32 incumbent Juan Garcia.
Interesting since Todd Hunter's desperate ad deceives voters. Hunter must know what he's doing since he won't even step up to the plate and approve the message or be in the ad.
At one point in the new Hunter ad, he refers to the Republican led revolt against Tom "I am the decider" Craddick. Saying, ""When he didn't get his way in the Legislature, he walked off the floor of the Texas House."
We all know the reality of that claim. The uprising was started by then Representatives Republican Pat Haggerty of El Paso and Republican Mike Krusee of Round Rock.
The poignant moment was when Haggerty forced a roll call vote the only way he knew how. He took a list of names from his pocket and began asking every member of the Texas House if they still supported Tom Craddick. After reading a modest amount of names and getting some answers, Haggerty was gaveled to be quiet. A motion to vacate the horrid speaker Haggerty led the charge and asked every member, regardless of party, to join him and breaking quorum.
Is Todd Hunter saying that he supports Tom Craddick by calling into question Pat Haggerty and the rest of the Texas House? It would be a bold move since Mark McCaig, State Republican Executive Committee Member, joined the chorus of Republicans and Democrats that believe Tom Craddick must go.
Todd Hunter clearly doesn't get it. He is so out of touch. In fact, he had to hire an actor to attack Rep. Garcia because he couldn't find a voter to do his bidding.
That's why the Garcia campaign is asking an important question about Hunter's deception.
We want Todd Hunter to tell us, who is his new-found friend with the backwards cowboy hat and store-bought clean gloves. What kind of cattle does he run, if any at all? Does this "around here" rancher have a ranch around here?
These are the tactics of a desperate campaign. Hunter is a horrid candidate. He is bad on policy and he is bad on the campaign trail. His latest attack ad proves the point.
Maybe the cowboy actor will honor his pledge. Voters can't believe anything Todd Hunter says, and they certainly shouldn't vote for him. |
