My comment is the conservative broken record comment, but true. If some one from the right even mentioned trying to pull a stunt like this, there would be accusations of racism, cronyism, and criminal conduct.

I think she was going to "frame' another candidate...not her "friend". Who would that victom be?

If you go to her website, you'll see that she planned to blame this on the Orlando Sanchez campaign.

She's a Rat con artist.

Flores said she regrets what she has done and worries she may have ruined people's lives.

"When I got into it, it was a thrill," Flores said of her elation at persuading the second Bill White to sign filing papers. "When I got the signature, you know, then I thought, 'If I can do this, people with a lot more access and money than me can do so much more.' "

BULL**** !!! The only thing she regrets is getting caught (if this is true). I find it sickening for her to state the reason for backing out was that others could do this more effectively than her (and maybe even against her candidate). Hey lady, ever hear of the word ETHICS ???

There is a picture of her in the print version of this article in todays Chronicle (front page). She's wearing the $1200 hat she 'bought'. What gall.

From her website:

And will another person named Bill White get into the Mayor's race. Wait and see the Gossips hear that there is a rumor that someone named Bill White but not the real Bill White might try and get into the race just to confuse voters. A ploy being blamed on the Sanchez campaign if that in deed happens.

I'd join you, but I'm heading up to Dallas in a few minutes. I have an invite to watch the Cowboys tomorrow from one of the choice suites, and I'm not going to miss that, even for a kangaroo burger.

So you're going to watch the cheerleaders. Well, I guess that's OK.

Remind your buddies in Dallas about the Texans beating them 19-10 in their very first NFL game ever. They really hate that.

Thank you very much for bringing up the darkest day in Cowboy history. Well, except for the Ice Bowl, I guess.

I've been a Cowboy fan since I was a little kid growing up in 49er territory. I'm not going to switch allegiance just because we suck pond water.

More excerpts from Flores' site:

To All Concerned parties:

As of this date, October 4th, 2003, I Brenda Flynn Flores do resign my pct chair seat.

I do so because of my belief that I will injure the party and cause them needless embarrassment by continuing to remain in this seat.

I willingly and without urging from any one vacate this seat because I believe it shouldn’t be filled by someone who engages in "dirty politics".

Having engaged in them, in the matter concerning the 2003 General election for the City of Houston, I do not feel I have the credentials necessary to represent my party.

My actions were irresponsible.

While I do apologize for MY personal actions in this matter, I do not apologize for being a Democrat.

Sincerely,
Brenda Flynn Flores

WARNING: WE NEED POLL WATCHERS/ELECTION CLERKS IN PRECINCT #332

Brenda Flynn Flores
Dem pct. chair #332

To All Concerned parties:

As of this date, October 4th, 2003, I Brenda Flynn Flores do resign my pct chair seat.

I do so because of my belief that I will injure the party and cause them needless embarrassment by continuing to remain in this seat.

I willingly and without urging from any one vacate this seat because I believe it shouldn’t be filled by someone who engages in "dirty politics".

Having engaged in them, in the matter concerning the 2003 General election for the City of Houston, I do not feel I have the credentials necessary to represent my party.

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."

-George Washington

My actions were irresponsible.

I am NOT going over to the other side, and will remain active in my city, county, state, and federal elections as a private citizen.

I am and always have been a Democrat, and whether or not I will leave this world from Texas is yet to be seen….but I will leave it as a Democrat.

But the Party deserves better representation than I have so recently given it.

I have had a wonderful 50 years on this earth…not merely a life…but an adventure, and I still hold with the edict that "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." –Plato

And sometimes, the WRONG involvement can create the same thing.

While I do apologize for MY personal actions in this matter, I do not apologize for being a Democrat.

Sincerely,
Brenda Flynn Flores

I'm surprised she had the character to resign. Perhaps she was forced.
