American|Writes Calls Texas 17 Race For Bill Flores Over Chet Edwards
Bill Flores has won the responsibility of representing United States House of Representatives Texas District 17 to that honored institution by defeating 20-year incumbent Chet Edwards in today’s election. In a long-fought, contentious and primarily negative campaign, Flores bested Edwards in a political atmosphere that signaled an [...]
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 [...]
Why Has Bill Flores Written Off Johnson County?
Hey Bill, why have you written off Johnson County? This is a question I have been asked several times over the past few weeks. I am beginning to wonder if that is true. Since mid-August, Chet signs are springing up all over the place. Chet even has “Republicans for Chet Edwards” bumper tickers running around up here. I have seen a [...]
Meet The Real Texas 17 GOP Candidate – Matt Mackowiak
Matt Mackowiak is Bill Flores’ Campaign Manager. When you hear Bill Flores speak, see his campaign material or the campaign strategy played out, or experience a tactical response from him or the campaign relative to something Chet Edwards does – you are seeing Matt Mackowiak – NOT Bill Flores. That is my firm belief: that you are NOT [...]
What Bill Flores Won’t Do For Texas 17 In Congress
While I still believe Bill Flores is not a Conservative to the standards of Ronald Reagan by which I measure a politician’s claim of ideological bent, I believe he is a Republican and not a RINO, and Conservatives have a good chance of being represented by him in Congress merely by the fact that we do not know what he will do when he gets to [...]
If It Walks, Talks, And Smells Like A RINO – It Must Be A Republican
Bill Flores is not a RINO. Yes dear readers, I have put into print, stored electronically forever, Bill Flores will no longer be referred to as a RINO in my postings. 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 [...]
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 [...]
A Tempest In A District 17 Tea Party (UPDATE – DEVELOPING)
Following this developing story... Full disclosure requires you know that Angela and I have more than once locked horns over stances she had taken concerning a particular candidate during the congressional primary I felt violated the Tea Party rule of not endorsing a candidate. I have spoken with a member of the leadership team of the now [...]

Voting NOTA In District 17’s Congressional Race From The Founding Father’s Perspective
From Dead Poets Society: Keating: Now we all have a great need for acceptance, but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular. Even though the herd may go “That’s bad." Robert Frost said, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has [...]
