Brazos County GOP Reagan Day Dinner & Straw Poll Set For Tuesday
Ronald Reagan was all about the big tent that the Republican Party used to be. He made the tent bigger, if the results of the 1984 election are any indicator. Since the Republican Revolution of 1994, that tent has shrunk to kick out Conservatives and embrace the "party over principle" ideology that has turned Washington, DC into a cesspool of [...]
Congressman Bill Flores Meets With Local Catholic Leaders
I just returned from an hour long meeting at the Bryan Best Western between Congressman Bill Flores and local Catholic leaders, including priests and lay people. In all, some 25 Bryan and College Station Catholics attended. That's the only fact I can offer you without adding my own positive experience and conjecture, as to do so may be [...]
Sam Sharp, I am…not
Sam Sharp died on Wednesday. He was 80 years old. This came as a shock to me this morning when I heard it on the news. I still don't know quite what to say. I do know that The Eagle and WTAW have not done my friend and mentor any justice in their reporting. Sam was more than what they could ever understand. Sam was a man of honor, courage, [...]
It’s January 12, 2012 – Do You Know Where Your Congressman Is?
Bill Flores is in Israel. On an official trip with a Congressional delegation. You ask "Why?" So do I. In fact, I asked Jeff Morehouse of the Congressman's office exactly that after Morehouse originally told me, when I was seeking an interview with the Congressman, that Bill "will be out of the country next week on a Congressional delegation [...]
Flores Steals From Edwards’ Playbook To Break Campaign Promise
So, we've had Bill Flores "representing" Texas Congressional District 17 for almost a year. Bill failed us this past summer with his support of increasing the National Debt. Remember, this was Bill saying he knew better than us. That he was the smartest person in the room. The same thing we griped to Chet about… And he failed us two weeks [...]
BREAKING: Bob Yancy Set To Enter Primary In Redux Of Texas 14 Special Election Runoff
I was at an event this evening and happened to visit with Jason Bienski, Mayor of Bryan. Bienski, reportedly a Bob Yancy supporter for the Special Election but reliable sources have indicated actually supported Raney in the runoff, has shared that he would be pleased with either in the office, noting their difference to be more cosmetic than [...]
Conservative Businessman John Raney Wins Special Election Runoff
Bryan resident, College Station business owner and former Brazos County Republican Party Chair John Raney has won the Special Election Runoff against Bob Yancy for the privilege of representing District 14 to the Texas State House of Representatives. American|Writes has called the election for Raney just nine minutes after the polls closed. [...]
Experience And Maturity Are The John Raney Difference
I had my second conversation with John Raney, the only Conservative left in the special election to fill the unexpired term of Fred Brown in the Texas State House District 14, last Friday, December 9th. You can hear the audio here. Unfortunately, my battery for my digital recorder ran out, so you don't get the complete 150 minutes. The last 45 [...]
Why Bob Yancy Should Not Get Your Vote
If you haven't read Monday's article, Why Bob Yancy Won't Get My Vote: The Evidence, you really should. It has all the evidence and documents that I may refer to in this post, and I'm not going to re-post those documents here. Now comes the opinion. And, just to be sure Bob and Amy understand…THIS is meant to be subjective. Your reason for [...]
