Disgusting Protest
We of the Patriot Guard in Corpus Christi hear that the pervert church plans to protest at NAS-CC over the helicopter pilots who were killed. We'll be there.
Labor Council
I am very disappointed in the Labor Council They were to have their interviews for endorsement on Sunday and asked for RSVPs for the assigned times. I scheduled my life around 3:00 in the afternoon, so as to be early. When I checked my cell phone on a Patriot Guard mission to make sure I was okay on time, I found a message. It was from Saturday at 1 saying the state had already made endorsements, so the local candidates were moved up earlier. I had missed my Sinday morning appointment.
Later, I found out that Joel Mumford and Coach Salinas hadn't even been called, and that Susie Luna Saldana was asking questions of Evy Coppola. Since Susie is Lucy Rubio's manager, she shouldn't even have been there. I later learned Alex Garcia wasn't there, either. I don't know about Robert Zamora, maybe his e-mail didn't get to him.
I do know from making calls to the constables that they are hard to get hold of, so I don't know if they got their interviews.
I have long been a union girl and am very disappointed in this messup.

Where is everybody?
This is a strange primary season here in Nueces County. Perhaps it's because there are only 2 contested county wide races, sheriff and county chair. But there are 2 others that have fairly wide effect; Justice of the Peace, precinct 2, and county commissioner 2 (I think). So why are people not showing up to support each other? Oh well. I am.
What I find so weird is that none of the other candidates for Chair are coming to things. Now, I will say that Evy does show up, but I don't think it ever actually helps her. Monday, at the YWCA Racial Justice Forum, the photographer for the paper looked at me ans said "you are everywhere. Aren't you?" Well, yeah.
One thing I think is not nice is that Alex is standing up and introducing or hosting for one candidate over another. This is not fair. At the moment, he is the face of the Nueces County Democratic Party. I've been joking about how I'm losing out on t-shirts because I can't be for any Democrat over another, but it's not really a joke. Alex is also hosting a breakfast for Rick Noriega.
Ray McMurrey is also running for Senate, he's from here, and even though he doesn't really have a chance, he's sincere. This is not fair.
I guess we'll have to talk it over when we debate next week.

And they're proud of it
Today, the House upheld the President's veto of SCHIP. And I heard a Texas Republican whose name I don't remember bragging about it. See? This is the kind of thing they believe.- force women to have children, then the hell with them.
And on Fox News (I was at the Navy Hospital) I heard some dipshit announce the economy was just fine, we should invest money in business. Yeah, that'll help a lot. If they send everybody a pinche $800 or whatever, it'll just end up in the corporations anyway.
What would be a better way to help businesses, especially small ones? Universal single payer health insurance. That would put a whole lot of money into folks' wallets. Toyota would no longer have to build a plant in Canada to save money.
Today I got an e-mail saying how wonderful his company is to give free health screenings. But not enough people were going, so they gave $150 in a gift card to everybody who came. First, it's not free (he thought it isn't tax supported- they get a tax write off for all that sort of thing). The rat4e payers get soaked for it. Also, they now have access of your health history. If you or your family looks like the types who will be expensive, they'll find a way to get rid of you. Otherwise their insurance payments will go up.

He met with protesters!
W met with protesters today for the first time. These, however, were the ones protesting Roev. Wade. he called them "Pro Life". In that case, he's got a lot of nerve meeting with these godly folks when he's killed off more people than Saddam ever did.
Of course, I have a lot of problem with these people calling themselves pro life but they're perfectly happy with war and the death penalty. And that's just the start of that rant.

Show me you're still a good Democrat
To those DINOs who are under the impression that I believe in their bona fides when they come out in favor of a turncoat:
There is an easy way to make me believe you. Simply write a check for $7,000 to the Democratic Party coffers in Aransas, Calhoun, San Patricio and Nueces Counties.
I don't think it's gonna happen.

All the Pretty Little DINOs
As for the picture in the Caller-Times today next to the story of the disgusting turncoats who espouse the Republican message "I've got mine, the hell with you" while calling themselves Democrats. we must give Lucy Rubio the benefit of the doubt. Surely that picture of her with hugo Berlanga was just a file photo.

National Folks
I keep listening to all this Presidential primary rhetoric and am totally amazed. Rudy is trying to make us believe that Republicans care about the environment when speaking from the Everglades.
Mitt trying to make us believe he cares about jobs and how he'll bring them back to Michigan. His bunch are one of the main reasons a;; the jobs went away.
A while back, Toyota (I believe) decided not to build a car plant in the US because they'd have to pay health insurance. they went to Canada instead. That's one thing no on4e brings up when talking about universal single payer health insurance. It would stimulate jobs.
And what would Huckabee think if the religion that was Constitutionally mandated not the one he's so happy about? He sounds a whole lot like the ayatollas.

The Border
Why does the damn fool Homeland Security and Chertoff think that a birth certificate keeps me or anyone else from being a terrorist? How does he know that piece of paper is really me anyway? I told the silly sonofabitch that the war on terror is over and he's fired. Oh, the passpart thing is delayed because they got behind. Why should I have to pay about $150 so i can go over to Mexico to do my Christmas shopping?
Meanwhile the sonofabitch in the White House thinks it's perfectly okay for Mexican trucks to wander the roads of Texas.
Is it 2009 yet?

Some musings about Kucinich
Some of my friends are upset about Dennis Kucinich not being on the Texas ballot. I'm not. He refused to sign the little oath on the application that says he would support the winner if he lost. Well, how would he feel if he were the winner and the rest refused to support him? I'm getting tiered of his attitude.
Some others of my friends are trying to tell me that Todd hunter is a good guy because he was a Democrat in the legislature for 10 years. Well, he quit to be a lobbyist and now he's changed to a republican and is running against Representative Juan Garcia. I could accept it if he ran against him in the primary, but no. He signed on to all those horrible ideas of the Republican party.
See the matchup? Dennis says the rules don't apply to me. So does Bush. Todd Hunter has signed on to those ideas.

I'm going to be run by who?
Last night, a friend called and told me she was hearing teasing "news" against Lucy Rubio from the consultant running Robert Zamora's campaign. I went on TV and said there was no excuse for anyone making ugly remarks about anyone else. That's one of the reasons we lot the county in 06.
Today, the newspaper basically ran an article to make up for leaving Lucy's name out of the list of candidates for chair on Wednesday. One of the comments suggested that if Lucy ran, Susie Saldana would run the office. If Robert won, Lisa Hernandez would run the office. From what I can tell, that is some of their intention.
Then the commenter said if I won, the Noyolas would run things. That pisses me off. Since the day I was born, nobody's been able to run me.
They said that Alex should win so barbara Cline and Susan Reeves could run the office. Rinning the office isn't everything, and the party has essentially shut down for the last year. That's not helpful to the party.
Now I feel bad for Evy. They didn't suggest she would win and be run by someone.
