Yeah, you got me there. At least she is fun to hate.
In this case, no...
Being a Harris County Republican Precinct Chair in Texas CD22 who has been in the middle of this debacle over the last few months, I have not been very impressed with how we have been led down this path, and have had to go ahead play this game per the Texas Election Code...
I really wish it had worked out, I really do...
I believe that this Thursday night in Pearland, we will all have one more chance to screw this up...I hate to sound like this, but my sarcasm gets the best of me...
One thing to remember now on a National basis...
If the democrats can spend the money, and time (over 5 years to get the "number one" guy in Congress), they can get anyone they want now...
I hope the party has learned a hard lesson now...Regardless of the blame or validity of the alligations and attacks on any representative from now on...
Yup -- just what we need is somebody in Congress who can't plan past yesterday's lunch.
Only if he isn't one of the standard Libertarian nut jobs we have around here.
Libertarians don't look so bad compared to her......And don't forget that other magnificent intellect from Texas, Shiela Jackson Lee.........
Mr. Burns: This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you.
Smithers: You are noble and poetic in defeat, sir.
thanks for all the laughs from this thread!
LOL!
PRICELESS!
"the DeLays are working to get the Republican write-in candidate actually on the ballot box."
Well then how the heck are we supposed to get the ballot into the box?
Right next to Mohammed's Fine Oriental Carpets, going out of business in the same location since 1966.

Criminal Number 18F
What's his position on the war on terror?
Yeah, that's an effective way to get people to vote for your Libertarian candidate. :::smirk:::

Ya know, I saw a sign once on a carpet store that said "FINAL LIQUIDATION." After three months, I decided that waiting around for the store to turn to liquid and run down into the storm drain was a waste of my time, so I started doing other things.
URGENT! URGENT! We Need Your Help Right Now! Legalize Marijuana! UNIX for Everyone! URGENT! URGENT!
HOUSTON (Tom DeLay seat race) PING
And what does this do to the balance of power in the House if Democrats get control (as determined by majority party)?
Do we get to run a REPUBLICAN Write-in AS a Republican?
...that Republicans should just stay at home. /sarcasm (if needed)
We should just get the republican pick to officially change his name to "Tom DeLay" until after the election.
That would, if nothing else, reveal the absurdity of the situation.
Writing in choice on eSlate will take a little more work (electronic ballot disenfranchises) (Houston Chronicle Aug. 10, 2006, 5:05AM)
And the Comical buried this article in print and on their website.
In light of events, that's absolutely brilliant!
Nicknames are permitted on the ballot (and all write-in candidates must still register). So go with AAA on the E-slate for write in (or else really push mail-in absentee ballots).
