Summer is usually a relaxing time for family vacations, a little rest and relaxation, a time to recharge one's “batteries”, hang out with the kiddos and to get in some light summer beach reading.
Ahhh … summer. Pass me an ice cold Corona, por favor.
This summer, however, could be the beginning of the end for several Texas politicos who’ve been doing creepy crap when they were supposed to have been representing the Texans who trusted them and put their haggard backsides into office.
For those of you who don’t follow closely Texas politics, a forthcoming scandal is brewing based upon claims of The American Phoenix Foundation, headed up by ACORN nut-crusher Hannah Giles and her husband Joseph Basel.
Giles and Basel claim to have amassed over 800 hours of damning undercover videos, of both Republican and Democratic Texas lawmakers and lobbyists, doing stuff that wouldn’t make their grandmas very happy.
The undercover op, according to Giles and Basel, is to expose rank hypocrisy, systemic corruption with the added cherry on the top of showcasing inappropriate relationships between Texas lawmakers and lobbyists. Boom.
In other words, it’s House Of Cards stuff, in real time, and on steroids -- and the legislatures and lobbyists are already starting to sweat what is forthcoming.
One thing I’d like to underscore from the aforementioned is that it’s not just Democrats getting outed in their videos, it’s Republicans also.
Matter of fact, the impetus behind this undercover sting at the Texas State Capitol came via Hannah's seeing some big time conservative dipsticks (whom we all know and regularly watch on Fox News bashing Obama) at parties in DC, after her ACORN fame, hanging out and making out with chicks other than their wives while they “championed the cause of conservative/family values.”
Yes, my friends, this will be a bi-partisan ass whuppin’.
Grab some popcorn and a Coke because this is going be a good house cleaning.
It’ll be especially delicious for those of us who’re sick of business as usual while our nation is being screwed by folks who have sworn to represent our interests, and not their desire to “get laid and get paid”.
Which brings me to this point about this forthcoming expose for those of us of a conservative persuasion: Maybe, the reason we continue to scratch our head regarding why the Right so often sides with the Left on policy issues is maybe… just maybe… our rep’s are blackmailable based upon all the booty they’re tappin’ other than their wives? Who knows? We shall see..
Finally, my advice to the Texas Corrupt-O-Crats who've been ridin' dirty on the Texas taxpayers' dime is: You'd better get your house in order because it's about to collapse ... as in big time.
“Blackmailable” on any number of points. NSA knows all and that is blackmail on a higher level.
Joe Strauss among them, I hope?
Joe Strauss indeed! But maybe they are DC legislators? Let the chips fall.
I am beginning to think ALL politicians are corrupt. Is it possible that the only motive to run for public office is self enrichment and debauchery?
I just wish some HONEST TRUTH-SEEKERS would expose the corruption and dishonesty in Washington and the Press.
Must be, if they’re on FNC bashing zero, but when the story broke a couple weeks ago it was all State reps.
If a representative doesn’t act morally in office, he should be removed.
Either D or R. Doesn’t matter to me.
I am sure you meant your post for jagusafr
I agree
Perhaps we should dismantle government now and let the people run their lives with their own money. Taxpayers are sick of getting ripped off by the blood-sucking parasites in government offices at every level.
Most of us can read and write now. We should be able to take care of our families and our business without someone telling us what to do 24/7 and demanding we give them 30-60% of our income for their lousy service.
Hannah of Breitbart, right?
I’d be real suspicious of anyone drinking a Corona.
James O’Keefe was her partner in ‘crime’.
A lot of us TX freepers were dismayed when some ‘conservative’ State reps survived their elections, and
stumbled upon an ugly mafia infiltration in our Statehouse.
It's the standard bargain offered to RINOs in legislatures and Congress: "play-act at being conservative (while not seriously opposing the Dems on any issue they deem important), and you can let the lobbyists ply you with money and women all you want. Cross the Dems, and all your sins shall be exposed."
Giles short-circuited that.
One thing I’d like to underscore from the aforementioned is that it’s not just Democrats getting outed in their videos, it’s Republicans also.

GOOD!!!
The Uniparty is full of Kleptocrats and needs a housecleaning.

Most opposition in DC is theater. Behind the scenes, it’s “Honor Among Thieves.”
TownHall.com is about as reliable as Hillary is.
Government shaken by a scandal based on marital cheating?
Goodness, what’s going to happen if an organized pedophilic, murderous, thieving, interstate judges, federal and state attorneys crime ring gets exposed?
