Will We Find Our Way Home?
Chet tells another half truth; Matt cries like a Washington politician; Bill continues to defend the campaign’s stance on Matt’s response. Repeat. That pretty much sums up what will happen multiple times over the next 2 weeks. As we use to say in the Air Force, SSDD (Same S_ _ t, Different Day). I have grown sick and tired of this. Just [...]
Vote For Pro Or Con In Texas 17
Driving around the district, I am beginning to see a trend. Everywhere I see a Republican candidate’s sign you see a Bill Flores sign. I have even seen a few new yard signs standing alone. It now looks like the Republican base is behind Bill. Heck, even his internal polling shows Bill kicking Chet’s butt. However, there is still that [...]
Bill Flores Campaign: “We Are Sinking!”
Two months before election night. The Candidate Matt Mackowiak sits in front of the TV set and begins watching… suddenly you hear “Mayday! Mayday! This is the Floundering Flores Campaign.

If It Walks, Talks, And Smells Like A RINO – It Must Be A Republican

With the alphabetized, acronym filled world of politics we live in, we have all become “Alphabet Kids”. For those who may be new to this blog, allow me to give a brief cast of [...]
A Few Moments WIth Bill Flores
Shortly after finishing my last post, I attended the public swearing in of Texas State Senator Brian Birdwell. While there the opportunity to speak with Matt Mackowiak, Campaign Manager for Bill Flores, presented itself. During our conversation, I requested a personal meeting with Bill to which Matt said he would see what could be arranged. [...]
Pork And Bean Counting In Texas 17
Another example of earmark politics in TX CD17 and just like Pork Creek Park (aka Hamm Creek Park) Congressman Chet Edwards secured it for the county. We here in Johnson County will be stuck paying the tab—both in our Federal taxes and in our county taxes. Once Mr. Edwards has gotten his pat on the back and your vote, the county will forced to [...]
