Bentzin: Delay's Dirty Laundry

By Phillip Martin

Though they may be overspent, the Travis County Democratic Party sure is doing their best to make sure a Democratic candidate wins HD 48. It appears they have sent out at least two separate mail pieces to raise awareness about Bentzin's ties to Tom Delay.

The above photo is from the front cover of a direct mail piece that is being mailed out to voters in HD 48. The inside spread of this 11x17 mail piece has a full layot/flow-chart clearly explaining how Delay and Bentzin are tied through Colyandro. Sorry - I only managed to scan the front of this piece before Kinko's closed -- I'll try and get the whole piece up sometime tomorrow.

I did manage to get all of a separate mail piece scanned in, though. You can click here to read through it. The front cover has a huge, scummy photo of Delay and reads "Tom Delay has himself another "Yes" man...and he lives in your backyard," and the back details Bentzin's ties to Delay, his record on vouchers, how he opposed funding for public schools in 2002, and his pro-life stance.

Well, surprise, surprise. If this DeLay case isn't just another political stunt pulled by Ronnie Earle, then why is the local Dem Party sending out flyers capitalizing on the trial? If you want to talk about consipiracy, aren't the Democrats doing some conspiring themselves?
Tip O'Neil once said that "all politics is local." Apparently, in an Austin liberal's world, Democratic hypocrisy is local.
