Hmmmm!
Then she should quit her "political job" since it prevents her from speaking her liberal mindset. If your NOT a republican, then don't run as a republican in a republican position in the republican party. DUH!!!!!!!
Time to take out the trash boys.
Furnishing 65,000 free newspapers smells like propaganda to me. I wonder who is footing the bill?
Local politics?
There ain't no way she's a real Republican, even a RINO.
But yes, it's just local politics, and her ass is now grass.
The county GOP may need to reassess their bylaws so as to be able to sanction her if in fact they don't have that authority now. She maybe able to get her precinct to continue to vote her in. Some of those precincts don't have but a handful of people to show up for events...
As a one time recipient of her newspaper, it is wholly advertiser supported. The paper is almost exclusively committed to reporting local school news, local politics and local crime of the suburban Fort Bend County area of Houston. These are stories that the large paper, the Houston Chronicle, ignores.
Regarding Bev Carter, the voters put her in office, the voters should throw her out, too. Don't force her to resign.
I think she's right. She can't be removed. But that position doesn't mean much in real life except at election time.
But it was pretty much a suicide mission to endorse DeLay's opponent in this election.
Not pretty much.
Kamikaze.
By my definition she is the epitome of a RINO. Someone who does not support the party, but who is a member only for personal expediency.
I get annoyed with people being called RINOs who have devoted many years to supporting the party and their candidates, but disagree on a particular issue with the person calling them a RINO.
As much as I detest Specter, I couldn't call him a RINO.
As Seinfeld would say ... NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
Somebody please run against this RINO precinct chair!
I know this paper and this woman.. This rag hasn't anywhere near the numbers that they spout..
This woman is a liberal to the core that posed as a libertarian Republican and sneaked in under the radar. She struts her so called roguish views in her weekly column disguised as a reformer which got many of the older folks to elect her as the county rep..
I am also convinced that the local Dem's cleverly signed up as Republicans to vote in our caucus. They HATE, REPETE HATE Tom Delay, and would do anything to bring him down, anything!
The advertisers are footing the bill.
As a former editor of her newspaper (24 years ago), I know that Bev Carter was a Republican before the Republicans dominated Texas politics -- when Republicans were a rare breed in Ft. Bend County. Bev is outspoken -- always has been. And she will NEVER be intimidated by anyone.
Before I'd say she is wrong in this case, I'd have to know who was doing what. A lot of Ft. Bend County officials are Dems in RINO clothing -- that is they were always Dems and just became Republicans when it became apparent you needed the label to get elected. You can be sure that Bev will point that out.
On the other hand, Bev has been a Republican forever. But she's not a conservative Republican, and that is where she may have crossed swords with DeLay.
The personification of the word "RINO".
She is NOT conservative and was an early backer of EMILY'S List in this area. If you're that liberal, in Fort Bend County Texas, you're in the wrong damn party. For years she has attacked Comm. Meyers, Sugar Land conservative councilmen and is on the liberal side of every issue. She HATES Christian Conservatives.
