I’m beginning to wonder if I should don a camouflaged
raincoat and rain boots before leaving the house. This May Primary has become a
mud-slinging contest in races across Texas. In the morning, I open the paper to
find juicy morsels of gossip waiting to be devoured before breakfast. In the
afternoon I go to the mailbox and find dirt filled flyers bashing certain
candidates. Whispering fills church circles. Could it be true? What do you
think?
Well, since you asked, I must oblige.
I am NOT impressed. The upbraiding is akin to undisciplined children screaming. I
received a slanderous mailer smearing dirt on a reputable incumbent and laughed
when I read it. I thought, The sender simply revealed his true colors
and aren’t we glad! Not that I planned on voting for him, I simply believe
that voters are tired of the toddler type behavior among candidates running for
office.
The method has become, I’ll
cover my opponent in mud, bury him in dirt, and then I’ll look like a shining star. Really?
I personally don’t value the opinion of a mudslinger. Stick to the issues.
Let’s look at voting records...opinions on the affairs at hand. Will this
person represent your values in Austin? What are his or her thoughts about
life, boarder control, gambling?
Where ever you live in Texas, prayerfully consider who you
will vote for before you enter the booth. Remember my article about the
movement to get conservatives out of the House of Representatives. You can
almost go through your stack of mail, pick up each slanderous flyer and go vote
for the one covered in dirt. Chances are this is your conservative choice.
