Go Noriega! Go!

No, no, no. Not the tin-pot Panamanian dictator G.H.W. Bush imprisoned after that little Latin American invasion back in the 80s. No, this is Rick Noriega, a veteran state lawmaker who also happens to be active in the Texas Army National Guard and has recently served in Afghanistan--not to mention commanded troops during the recovery efforts of hurricanes Ike and Rita. He's challenging do-nothing Bush II stooge John Cornyn, who, after being Dubya's most loyal lapdog in Washington, has the audacity to run a campaign ad lauding himself as the candidate of "leadership" and "change." Ugh.



In a fair world, Noriega would be wiping the floor with Cornyn. Unfortunately, Cornyn has a huge money advantage, and is leveraging that to its fullest. Even so, Noriega is within 7 points in recent polls--a vast improvement from the 20+ point deficit he faced just a few months back. So pass Noriega's campaign spots around to your Texas friends and remember to vote for Rick this coming election.

  2. Hey kids, this is MY blog. If you want to belly up to the bar and spout off in opposition, I generally don't have a problem with that. But I'll not put up with any of this pansy-assed "Anonymous" crap. Grow a pair, already.

  3. ADDENDUM: Oh yeah, and if you are going to spout off and engage me, don't cut-and-paste some bullshit email forward full of outright lies and half-truths.

    Furthermore, we here in Texas don't need any race-baiting from some wingnut from the east coast. Scapegoating Mexicans for the failure of "trickle-down" economics is a non-starter, compadre.
