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.
No, this really happened - probably 10 days ago - and was all over the top-of-the-hour news for a couple days, then went completely away, in Austin anyways. I’ve been waiting since it broke for it to come up here.
I don’t think any of us knew Hannah Giles was part of it.. which means the footage-takers were probably trained by O’Keefe.
“I just wish some HONEST TRUTH-SEEKERS would expose the corruption and dishonesty in Washington and the Press.”....
In particular, the rino’s who fail to go against odumbo. My guess is that the odumbo ilk has a treasure load of things that could easily “drown” a lot of those political rats.
We can only hope. If this becomes its own ping list, add me to it.
...Sixteen people from the foundation — presumably including Basel/Liam — have collected 800 hours of video on and off the Capitol grounds of lawmakers and lobbyists behaving badly, a foundation spokesman said recently.
The group intends to package the video and release it in the coming weeks and months to show legislators’ hypocrisy as well as other acts of sex, violence and corruption, spokesman John Beria has said.
I am suspicious, when people who claim to have all the hard information, want to only disclose it a little at a time.
“I don’t think any of us knew Hannah Giles was part of it.. which means the footage-takers were probably trained by O’Keefe.”
I hope they were trained by Mr. O’Keefe, but I’m concerned that these people were targeting Republicans.
Woo Hoo, lets bag some rinos.
little late to the party, they should have been here in 95 when ENRON was supplying the booze and hookers, now that was a party!
He meant to say Shiner, or Negro Modelo.
Imagine the extent and magnitude of corruption in a center of power like Washington. Imagine the corrupting influence of such enormous power. Imagine kind of people who are attracted to it like a magnet.
The power of the Press is similar. The people who are attracted to it are power hungry, and if they're not already corrupt, they soon will be. Most of them are perfectly willing to participate in the corruption. Some are probably too stupid to understand what it is and what it means.
The American people are fools to tolerate such corruption and to ignore its threat to them.
were targeting Republicans.
You obviously are a republican first, and not a conservative first.
Personally, I'm harsher on supposed conservatives (R) than I am on those we know to be liberal (D). At least the Ds are honest.

You should not criticize Townhall.com for it
Not guilty!
Here is Grandpa Doug Giles announcement of it
I want ALL shady politicians to be exposed....regardless of their *party*. Don’t you?
TownHall.com is about as reliable as Hillary is.
???
Interesting.
Politicians from both parties should be investigated.
However, this investigation appears to be one sided and aimed at Republicans.
