YouTube Video of Craddick Supporters at the Austin Club

The Age of Accountability Has Arrived (3.00 / 1)

I can already see that clip of #30 Kino Flores playing through my mind in slow motion in grey and white in a primary ad. Or 36 or 39.

But my favorie and probably the best shot is # 51- Dukes. When there is a primary, THAT shot will be the one.

Look out for Tracy King.  If you get a primary opponent to run against him, he might punch you in the face!  (Sorry, Pete.)

Slinking in... (5.00 / 3)

While I have long and meaningful relationships with my former colleagues, and helped elect a few of these, it saddens me greatly to see this video.

I've disagreed with others over policy and politics often.  At the Legislature, I often was on the losing end of lots of votes and battles.

But I never thought that what I believed in was something I'd ever have to slide through a rank, smelly alley to do. 

While I can't even imagine why I'd be walking into that meeting, I can assure you if it was something I believed in and was proud of, I'd go in the front door. 

Guess I, too, would be ashamed to be seen consorting with these guys.

"Slinking with Craddick" (3.00 / 1)

That sounds like something I'd be ashamed of too.

Covered with Craddick
Slinking with Craddick
Wallowing with Craddick
Kneeling to Craddick

Makes me sick.

That was one of my first thoughts (0.00 / 0)

when I saw the sneakers.

You kinda lose the argument about a principled stand when you sneak through the alley to meet your man, so to speak.

Whatever you're standing on at that point, it's a lot smellier (and less solid) than principle.

Before you win, you have to fight. Come fight along with us at TexasKaos.

Listen hard (0.00 / 0)

Perhaps the most chilling thing about this is the sound of the birds in the background. On any other day, they wouldn't be noticeable.
