What? The Dallas Morning News wasn't all over this story? Surprise, surprise. Wonder how it was covered in Houston, San Antonio, Austin and El Paso? Why isn't the Texas GOP taking out ads to inform the public of Mr. Kirk's political affiliations, so voters can make an informed choice.

Ignored, ignored, ignored, and ignored.

The ONLY Texas media to report it so far is the monthly conservative publication Austin Review, which broke the story in the above article, and our little right wing paper in Houston. World Net Daily supposedly carried it as well, but that's it.

Of course "Enron donates to John Cornyn" stories run in all the major dailies every couple of weeks, but not one has touched Kirk's CONVICTED TERRORIST donors. It's that sickening. I bet Osama Bin Laden himself could be funnelling money to the Dems and the media would ignore it.

Why isn't the Texas GOP taking out ads to inform the public of Mr. Kirk's political affiliations, so voters can make an informed choice.

Because the Texas GOP is headed by a ditzy airhead sociallite named Susan Weddington and the rest of the office can't seem to tell the right hand what the left hand is doing. I also fear that they don't want to be percieved as "overly negative" even if it is known that Kirk takes money from terrorists!

The only way I know of right now to get it out is circulate it to conservatives and let the thing spread from there by word of mouth.

Call in to the local talk radio show if you can - doesn't matter what state - just say you read that the Dem senate nominee in Texas, arguably the closest contested open seat in the nation, has taken money from a convicted terrorist.

And if anybody's under the impression that the Texas race is in the bag, check out the most recent poll from last Tuesday. It has the race at an even split of 46% each.
