DeLay's Creepy"replacement candidate" calls local Reep Party COMMIES:

[elehhhhna]

I feared that moving away from Chicago would leave me forever mourning and missing the joys of watching insanely ridiculous local political soap opera manouvers.

Turns out Chicago was preschool and Sugar Land is the Graduate Program!

SUGAR LAND, Tex., Aug. 15 — With dwindling hopes of keeping Tom DeLay’s longtime House seat from falling to a Democrat in November, Texas Republicans on Tuesday called an urgent meeting for Thursday to exercise their only option: agreeing on a write-in candidate.

But that slender prospect — no such write-in campaign has succeeded in the state — seemed to suffer a blow when a leading candidate facing party opposition disparaged the meeting, saying “that may have worked in Moscow,” and vowed to keep running even if it meant two Republican write-in candidates.

“I’m in the race and I’m in it to win,” said the candidate, David G. Wallace, the part-time mayor of this booming Houston suburb named for its onetime Imperial sugar factory. He said he might be too busy campaigning to attend the meeting.”

1. An urgent meeting in Texas;

The gop endorsing a democrat in Connecticut; rove can't figure out what to do with republican harris in florida; ney afloat in ohio; santorum giving speechs to cows in pennsylvania; bush has to take an alternative course today in Pennsylvania to avoid seeing mainstream Americans with anti-war signs. Oh my, my, my.

2. Bad thinking on the TX Repub's part.

Wallace is a much easier name to spell.

3. This is just SOOOOO cool

BTW, here in Chicago I am probably going to vote for one Repuke, just to protest the latest shenanigans, a brain-dead fascist, John Stroger, supposedly proposing his son to replace him on the Cook County board. Of course, since he's brain-dead, it's likely the punk kid wrote the letter and signed it himself. You just can't make this shit up. But I will be damned if I'm voting for this little privileged scumbag.

4. What's Gary Coleman doing these days?

I think we should have as many candidates in this race as were in the California recall election.

5. There is NO politics

like TX politics. I have seen things happen in local politics that make this look like amateur night.
