There has been a flurry – no let’s make that a blizzard – of commentary concerning NOTA. Read Kristofer’s post “Voting NOTA In District 17’s Congressional Race From the Founding Fathers Perspective”. What these men said, some having put their very lives on the line reminds us of our duty when casting a vote.

I volunteered for the Rob Curnock campaign. I believed Rob was the right person in the race to defeat Chet this fall, not that he was the only candidate that could beat Chet (a conservative monkey should be able to do that) or that I wanted to go to Washington or that I wanted some sort of power/position – all motives I have been accused of having. I still believe of the five candidates, Rob was the most honorable, a man of conviction, a conservative and the best choice. There were two other candidates in that race I would have gotten behind had one of them become our candidate to defeat Chet: Timothy Delasandro and David McIntyre.

Both of these men demonstrated to me that they are also men of honor, conviction and conservative values. Bill Flores and (more…)

Constitutional and Conservative Bill Randall is in the runoff on June 22 in North Carolina 13. He’s against a Country Club Republican who is attempting to hide his anti-Tea Party and Pro-Choice leanings.

Constitutional and Conservative Jaynee Germond is running in Oregon 4 against a late-comer rich guy picked by the NRCC, after running for a year against another relatively regular guy in the race. The rich dude just got in and dropped a quarter million into the race. Sound familiar? The primary is tomorrow.

Constitutional and Conservative Jake Towne is in Pennsylvania. Jake is an Independent Constitutional Candidate who wants to represent District 15 – the Lehigh Valley – where my own now-liberal Dad went to school.

Constitutional and Conservative John Dennis is in California 8, the seat Nancy Pelosi holds.

Constitutional and Conservative Donald Strong is in Tennessee; Alex Snitker is in Florida; RJ Harris is in Oklahoma, as is Howard Houchen. And Tony Gentile is in Louisiana.

And these are just a few. US House and Senate Candidates.

I have been spinning my wheels on Constitution-Sovereignty-denying and recent convert to Republican Party Pro-Choicer Bill Flores and I accept now that it’s a futile effort were I to continue writing alone. All it does is take me away from the obligations I have to these people above and their genuinely Constitution-based ideologies. So I won’t be writing alone… (more…)

Chances are, if you were a “conservative” leader or blogger during the Texas 17 District GOP Primary, you are now a Republican Party myrmidon.

We know that Angie Cox of the Burleson Tea Party is, simply by her comment on this very blog when I made the VERY wrong assumption that she would be a Rob Curnock supporter just before the runoff.

All of the Waco Tea Partiers know that Toby Marie Walker was wooed by the RNC last fall, so we can pretty much count her in.

Richard Clark, owner of nobillfloresforcongress.com, seems to have gone to the dark side. But I think he’s been more of an ABC kind of guy than Conservative in this race (I’m not calling into question his Conservatism…I only think that it is trumped by the ABC movement). (more…)

American Write-In fave Laura V told me “So much for standing by your man” when she heard the topic of this post I was writing a few nights ago. So, perhaps you would like the following campaign theme song playing while you read…

I shared a table with Rod Walline, former Campaign Manager for Dave McIntyre, eleven days after the District 17 Congressional Primary in which Dave didn’t make the cut for the runoff. A vote count that Walline was not expecting, and he was still a bit jaded about the whole affair. One thing I can say about the McIntyre camp (more…)

Write-ins will recall that back in February I met with Bill Flores’ Rookie Campaign Manager Matt Mackowiak under dubious circumstances. During that conversation, I advised him to get Bill acquainted with a local businesswoman, which he said he would – and didn’t do. I also advised him to get to know the Tea Party leaders: Angie Cox of Burleson, Toby Walker of Waco, and Nancy Coppock, leader of Bryan College Station Tea Party. He said they had, and that they were in good and on great terms, especially with the local one – meaning here in Brazos County.

I’d had lunch with Nancy Coppock the previous day (more…)

Write-Ins will remember that I mentioned that receiving the endorsement of the Bryan-College Station Eagle is the kiss of death because The Eagle is not conservative in any sense of the word. With its avid support of Planned Parenthood and its fawning over Chet Edwards, you can count on it not being reliable in terms of representing the community it portends to serve.

You’ll also remember that Chuck Wilson received the endorsement of The Eagle, which I commented upon extensively, in his bid for the Texas District 17 race for Congress.

Chuck Wilson did not make the cut for the runoff, losing (more…)

I received the Press Release bout two hours ago from the Rob Curnock Campaign. I provide in its entirety:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 4, 2010

Rob Curnock Issues Statement on Delasandro Endorsement

Rob Curnock, Republican candidate for Congress in District 17, tonight issued the following statement concerning the endorsement of Timothy Delasandro, former candidate for Congress in the District 17 race: (more…)

In the House of Representatives Texas District 17 race you probably have an idea of who I won’t vote for, but I want to make sure.

So here’s who and why I will NOT vote for them. (more…)

So I went to the Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce Candidates Forum tonight at the College Station Hilton. This was the last one for the Congressional seat primary, which is next Tuesday, March 2nd. The audio for the forum will be linked below as soon as WTAW has it archived.

A couple of photos for this event are on my tweetphoto site.

I left immediately afterwards. Candidates and/or staff all know me, and to stick around for a potential to visit (more…)

On September 16, 2009, the Brazos County Republican Club had a meeting that, from all accounts, made many leaders of the local Party sick to their stomachs…almost literally.

But first, know this: The Brazos County Republican Club is NOT the Brazos County Republican Party.

Read that again. It is VERY important. You could get the wrong idea or opinion if you don’t make that distinction.

Let me be clear (A little Obama-lingo there for those of you in the RNC and NRCC): These are two separate entities. The Club is a gathering of Republicans, the Party is the official party affiliated with the national party that holds the primaries, recruits candidates, doesn’t get invited (more…)
