Making History in Texas: Kinky Friedman?

The people who wrote our Constitution: wanted Joe Citizen to step into government, run things for the rest of Americans, then step out.

Ex exterminator Tom Delay, his associates and White House occupant: stepped into government to get money --for themselves, redraw district lines to keep their jobs and use others to fly to distant golf courses, first class. They and their pals live high on the hog, ignore welfare and common good of everyone else --that voted for them to look out for Americans.

Former cockroach hunter Delay, Republican: will stand trial soon, for getting money from 27 Texas corporations--violating Texas law that has stood for 106 years--directing it to RNC in Washington, then having it distributed to Texas Republicans --to keep a Republican majority in the House of Representatives. The donations went to Washington as "soft money" --back to Texas as "hard money" --legal to distribute, after it was 'laundered.'

Lobbyist Jack Abramoff, his pal, 'contributed' to Delay, his wife, his daughter: lavish trips, suites, dinners, salary and gifts totaling millions of the $66 million they got from ripping off four Indian tribes. Pal Abramoff pled guilty, cooperating, going to prison for six years.

Before his Party forced him to resign
Republican Delay threatened: if lobbyist firms hired Democrats --any Democrat to work in their firms, they would not get any bills they wanted passed. On indictment he grinned and declared: "this is just partisan politics." Does Texas have stupid prosecutors --arrest and indict without evidence???

So many Republicans in trouble, if you aren't from Texas or aren't sure which one is Delay: when he forced a vote of the Texas legislature that was going to redraw district lines, to send six more Republicans to House of Representatives, Democrats, to avoid the vote they believed was illegal, left the state, stayed in a motel until deadline passed. Delay: used Homeland Security Dept. --and laws, to send Marshalls and a jet to go get the Democrats, costing thousands and violating laws.

Delay: the one who, as Party Whip, shoved the grotesque Drug Bill --welfare for drug-makers--on American senior adults --and on you, to pay the bill; deepened Treasury debt, un-born great-grandchildren will still be paying it off; threatened members of his own Party --if they didn't do what he wanted.

Grinning Delay: orchestrated the vote that stole our rights: "Patriot" Act. --Government can spy on you --snoop on your bank records, phone calls, e-mail --without a court's approval or warrant, thanks to fat-cat Republican Tom Delay. No-longer supreme court: told the White House to shove it --to get approval from Congress to do that. Good little Republicans toed the line, tried to craft a Bill, even retroactive, to give authority to White House occupant to spy on you, but Occupant: doesn't want to recognize Congress's authority, he wants: sole authority --without interference. There's a name for that: it's called "dictatorship."

What is Tom Delay doing while he waits for his trial to begin? "Religious" leaders --of mega churches --pay Delay to speak to mega groups? --To bring in mega donations? Aren't worshipers TIRED of giving, but never getting anything back but anti-spirit?

Many Texans: voted for the person they most wanted to have a beer with --for president, for ex cockroach hunter Delay and many other Republicans. Apparently they have decided: it's time for those people to 'step off' --don't want any more of those 'partisan' politics --starting with Texas governor's office.

Voter Registration
Ranchers --farmers --working class, all kinds of Republicans and Democrats in Texas: lining up to register so they can vote for 'None of the Above' and choose Independent: Kinky Friedman --to handle the governor's office for them. They have way had enough of Republicans.

Kinky Friedman: plans and goals loaded with common sense --to look out for all. He doesn't have consultants, smooth patter, glib phrases or much money. Does have: contempt for status quo and career politicians. He is smart, single, musical, funny, mature, rather crude, wise --and pissed off. Sound like a typical politician?

How bad is Friedman: he wants a moment of silence and the Ten Commandments --in schools. He wants quality education, Peace Core-type program for teaching and renewable energy.

Remedies for Republican Arrogance, Indifference
