| It is very hot today in Fort Worth, but the heat that Democrat Wendy Davis pitched to Republican Kim Brimer at a press conference on the steps of the County Courthouse just elevated this state senate race a few degrees higher.
The Davis campaign filed a response to Brimer's Xeroxed lawsuit today and coupled it with a few hot political zingers fired directly at the relatively unknown Republican:
"He thinks this lawsuit will hide his 20 years of failed leadership," Davis said. "To the contrary, it has highlighted it."
"We ask you to stop hiding behind your lawyers and your political consultants and step forward to demand that this lawsuit is handled immediately so we can move on to address the issues important to Tarrant County families," Davis said.
Calling Brimer's suit a "cowardly stunt by a scared and corrupt politician," Texas Democratic Party Chairman Boyd Richie added the following comments:
"In all my years in politics, I've seen courage and cowardice, but Senator Kim Brimer's frivolous, carbon copy lawsuit is the most cowardly stunt I've ever seen from a scared politician who's afraid to face a strong opponent and be accountable to the voters for his failed and corrupt record."
There is no doubt that Brimer has had everyone else do the dirty work on this cowardly and baseless act; from the Firefighters Union, to his consultants, to his lawyers. But when push came to shove, and Brimer had the chance to file a suit himself, he couldn't muster the courage to do it until he felt it would help him politically.
This act is much like your record of helping Tarrant County families, Kim--shameful, just plain shameful. |
