Brown appears headed toward re-election

JOHN WILLIAMS
Incumbent Lee Brown appeared headed toward re-election today over City Councilman Orlando Sanchez, who had been looking to become Houston's first Hispanic mayor, in a tight race.

With 95 percent of the precincts counted, Brown had 162,751 votes, or 52 percent, to Sanchez's 152,552, or 48 percent

Me too, sickening.

[Terry Mross]

The media was reporting that "conservative" whites voted for Sanchez and that "liberal and moderate" whites voted for Brown. The simple fact is Brown is a puppet of some rich white developers in Houston. They need City Hall to do business. The good thing is Sanchez is now off and running. He got in the election last and almost pulled it off. And keep in mind he would have if not for the fraud. Beleive me, fraud is widespread in Texas politics. Finally, there are 150,000 people who hate Chris Feminine Bell tonight.

By the way Brown I hear goes to a Born Again Church in Houston, and pretends to be a good christian.

His pastor should know he is a racist. ( I think his name Joel Olsteen(sp?) . The pastor is very nice man, maybe we should tell him he has a racist in his church!

Oh yea, now I remember he goes to Lakewood church in Houston.

[Terry Mross]

Blacks make up 25% of the vote in Houston but there's always at least 30% voters counted. It's called fuzzy math.

But what pisses me off more than anything is Sanchez saying "we have to work together, Brown ran a good campaign, blah blah blah". We need more people who will stand up and tell it like it is when they have a live mic in front of them.

[Terry Mross]

Kirbyjohn Caldwell voted for Brown. He supports W but votes for Brown. Sickening. W should tell him, "you're either with us or against us." Oh, wait, that only counts with terrorists.

[KQQL]

It's a black thing !!!!

[PROTESTBYPROXY]

Houston is the number one place for blacks in the country so there will be a black mayor, no puzzle here! Only if you get out the lazzy white vote, never!

[F16Fighter]

Pathetic.

Disheartening to know there are places in the U.S. like Houston willing to elect governing officials based on race-baiting, personal slander, mischaracterizations, raising taxes, denying dubious backgrounds, lying -- wait a minute! Isn't that the modus operandi of Democrats during nearly EVERY major election??

[Terry Mross]

I just bought a house outside the city limits that has a brand new municipal utility district. That means it won't be annexed by the city for many years because they'd have to pay off the bonds.

Now get this, there's a black area in another county that votes ninety per cent Brown and it's in the Houston city limits. I'll never understand how a city that is the county seat from one county can reach over into another county.

[Terry Mross]

That's been the m.o. of dems for a hundred years. And in Texas it's still rampant. Clinton did nothing for the blacks and neither has Brown but they'll vote in lock step because most of them are ignorant and that's not racist, that's a fact. Unfortunately, a lot of whites are ignorant, too.

To my fellow FReepers, I'm tired of losing. Something must be done to win elections. Period. We MUST come up with a plan to actually win elections. Symbolic victories do nothing. You must be in power to change the agenda. We have lost too many elections recently. This has to end. And frankly I'm sick and tired of the "its cool to lose elections wing of the party."

[Terry Mross]

Oh well, two more years of "no lips" Brown. And I'm not at all surprised. I predicted his fraudulent election weeks ago. Jew Don Boney must not have been so sure, though. He was on TV all night talking about disenfranchised voters and how he was asking the Justice Department to investigate. God, I wish they would but I don't think Ashcroft has what it takes. He was neutered during confirmation.

[Terry Mross]

Only a revolution would bring about the change you want. You'll always have the Sanchez's of this world claiming moral victories. If he would have gotten nasty at his concession speech his career would be over. The rino party is a bunch of cowards.

[KQQL]

RNC has done the first step.... Fired Gilmore... He had no clue what he was doing ...( He is/was a good Governor, and that's it )

[roachie]

I always liked Houston. I just don't want to go back with all the dead people out and about voting. Who knows what else they will do. Zombies give me the chills. < /sarcasm>

[F16Fighter]

That's what's so frustrating. "Ignorant, lock-step" lemming-voting based on...well, NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH.

And BTW, you are 100% correct -- Ashcroft was neutered during the confimation hearings -- a surprising damn shame. He obvious had to make a deal and become a law enforcement eunuch ONLY in regards to investigating, oh, only about one-billion law violations the Clintonistas are responsible for.

[JoeMomma]

It's so sickening. Blacks still voting in lock-step. Makes me want to HURL!

Because Republicans don't want the black voters' support. They don't ask for it, that's for sure.

Yep -- there are some who think that there's a 'victory in defeat'. No such thing -- if you don't win, you don't govern or set the agenda. The fact that Sanvhez came this/close to winning means nothing. He's politically unemployed, and the only say he'll get in government is when he shows up for open-mic night at the city council chambers.

One of the precinct judges was "missing" for five hours. She finally showed up with what she said were 950 votes. When asked where she had been she told the reporter, "It just hard tabulatin' all dem votes." True story! I'd bet there was voter fraud like you ain't never seen! Polls showed it would come down to a few hundred votes but it appears Brown will win by 10,000 votes. As long as the dems are in charge of the precincts we'll never be able to win.

Unfortunetly this is correct. Fortunetly we (my wife and I) can afford to move outside of Houston. I'm tired of paying more taxes each year to the City of Houston that are wasted or paid out to thievies of the Brown adminisitration. I can't believe that boob Lee(period) P(period) Brown was reelected. Brown won by fraud and I refuse to pay any more taxes to his administration. Tomorrow our house goes up for sale. Moving to Montana, going to be a dental floss ticoon.

[StopDemocratsDotCom]

Well this in the second defeat for a Cuban American Conservative. The race baiting worked and ultimately defeated "extremist" Sanchez and the Democrat senate said thet will NOT confirmed the Under-Secretary of State-nominee for the Western Hemisphere, Otto Reich, because he is anti-castro and Conservative...... Too Bad
