Burnt Orange Report

Yeah, she got alot of endorsements...from the usual list of unions and liberal leaning newspapers...
must be a slow news day today.....

Or maybe they just decided to endorse the pro-education, pro-public servant, and clean money candidate.

It is a slow news day – I was very much counting on reading about more republican corruption and swindling. But the news of a good candidate getting endorsements from public servants isn’t too bad…

Trey sounds like he is part of the same crowd that is attributing Bentzin's embarrassing loss to a bad candidate, bad television, bad timing, bad hair and bad consultants. Wouldn't it be interesting if someone stopped to ask how Howard got nearly 50 percent. Maybe it was a good candidate, a good message, a good campaign team, good television, good hair and a good chance to kick his ass in 21 days.

I noticed on QR today that they are claiming Perry media man David Weeks, ex GOP Director Wayne Hamilton and Susan Combs are now involved in the race and that the GOP machine is supposedly gearing up to use all it's got.

Governor Perry is just in time to escort Brian McElroy of San Antonio, the 200th Texan to die in Iraq, home.

It may be inappropriate considering this news, but I'll say it anyway:

"Adios, MoFo."

Perry is off in Iraq on a "bi-partisan Department of Defense-sponsored mission to visit Texas troops serving in the Middle East."

Judging by the RickPerry.com and "Proud of Texas" backdrops that I saw on the TV newsclip this evening, I'd say it was "bipartisan" in the way that a George W. Bush town hall is "unscripted".

Nice try, Grubbie -- these are the groups that are more concerned about personnel issues than they are about whether or not children are being prepared for the workplace. Yes, teachers are our heroes and they shape our daily lives, but whatever happened to seeing to it that teachers are being rewarded for doing their job right, not just being on the payroll?
And when did being a liberal-run group automatically make it a clean money group? That sure is news to me...

Huh?? Sorry to interrupt you while you're apparently high on who knows what, but the general election hasn't even been held yet. And second, just because a bunch of liberal dominated groups threw their money behind Howard, doesn't mean that she's guaranteed to win the election. And besides, as much as liberals have been putting their feet in their mouths over the past year (Dick Durbin's verbal degrading of the military, Hillary Clinton telling businessmen that "we're going to take some things away from you for the good of everyone"- which sounds like Communism), more and more Americans are smelling the coffee. Which is why Texas hasn't had a Democrat (thank God) in statewide office for the past decade and why Congress has been (for the most part) in Republican hands since 1995.
I can't help but laugh every time the Dems say "we're going to take back the governor's mansion, legislature, Congress, etc in this election" before they get smeared at the polls.
By the way, did you look to see whether or not the Texas chapter of the ACLU and Moveon.Org will donate to Donna's campaign?
But hey, I'll be nice, I hope Donna learns alot about campaigning. At least she'll get campaign experience. For you extreme libs to bash the Texas Association of Business shows your true colors. That's why fewer businesses contribute to such out-of-touch with reality and in-touch-with-the-doobie libs as yourselves...
