| The Republican Party of Texas, trying to save their losing candidate Ben Bentzin in the HD 48 race, has sent out their first attack on Donna Howard. The mail piece (front and back) attacks Donna Howard for supporting a bond proposal that would have put a second high school in Eanes when she was on the school board, saying that the school would have "wasted taxpayer dollars."
Why is this ad such a failure? Because when the second high school proposal came out, Karl Rove, Maragaret LaMontagne (now Maragret Spellings, President Bush's Secretary of Education), and Karen Hughes all agreed with Howard. In fact, it was Jerry Hughes (Karen's husband) that made a motion to build a second Eanes high school in the first place. Not only did those three Republican leaders agree with Howard, they signed a letter of support (PDF) for a second high school.
What does all this mean? It's politics as usual for the Republican Party of Texas, which means pulling out dirty smear campaigns to try and taint the only candidate in the HD 48 race that will put people ahead of politics.
Be sure to visit Donna Howard's website to support a candidate that wants to stop playing politics as usual and start delivering real improvements to our public schools. |
