Why does this come as a suprise?

My State representative is a moron. She is inadequate to serve the public in any form yet we fucking elected her. why? cause she's some sort of home town girl that we got to support? this is bullshit. check this out:

She's a lawyer, and she's defending the makers of Phen Phen. Why does this matter? The makers of Phen Phen paid her to be on this team of lawers in their defence, because as soon as she's elected she filed for a legislative continuance, as in this just delayed the court proceeding till after her stink in Austin. In other words...she cashed out. When asked to disclose this she denied...and now the TPJ is suing her.

Not only that, but she did JACKSHIT as a representative. Coastal Bend College is still going to lose $900,000.00 because of budget cuts. she did nothing to stop it.

Now in today's paper, the front page headline reads:

Alice Clinic hit hard by state budget cuts, on the ropes
Primary Health Care program hammered by $12 million dollar reduction.

12 fucking million. maybe a city like new york can afford to drop 12 million and still move on, but this is a small town. no way is that ever gonna get picked back up. 12 million that helps uninsured peoples recive health care. the paper moves on and quotes certain people, but not my representative. but she made the paper. here's another headline for you:

Canales fires back at Bee County judge.
this judge only stated a fact, he wanted something done for his county. something for the people...of course my rep. doesn't really win when she doesn anything for anyone else, it's all about HER. she's gotta get paid, or she's gotta take a day off. the judge said in a paper that she is not accessible, she's not visible, and she is not responsible. indeed, it's all about her...she can't be ridiculed, she doesn't get anything out of being ridiculed. she should get something out of this.....YOU SUCK....GET OUT, DO US ALL A FAVOR.


The president didn't take this money away, nor did the Fed's. The US senate didn't take it away, and neither did the House. My fucking representative took it away, with her non-action. but she enjoyed a trip to Oklahoma to only DELAY something else. My rep. is in special session right now, trying to re-district Texas. this should have been done during regular session, but this BITCH took off in an effort to deny a quarm. And to their credit it didn't work.

She got pulled over recently, and there was 1/2 a bottle of hard liquor in her possession. and a spilled drink. she fucking denied a breathalizer, and wanted a blood test. what a great role model, she's taught all the drunkards around the state that you can legally question the authenticity of a breathalizer. any normal person that denies a field test and breathalizer gets in big trouble. but not this BITCH.

So anyway, guess what happens next. They find out she's got a few outstanding tickets. Normally, they would have a warrant out for arrest, but you know what, there isn't one. Because apparantly there was a "software glitch" in the police department's progamming. how convienent. don't you think? i bet you that from the day that ticket was outstanding, till this "computer glitch" was found that people have been picked up for outstanding tickets. why the hell would anyone give her a break? seriously, she's done nothing for us.

And she won by a 200 vote margin. don't fucking tell me that your vote doesn't count, or that Elections like this don't count. Obviously they do. Next time something "insignifigant" like your school board elections come around....you should fucking vote. or this kind of shit is gonna happen to you, and your fucked because you let it happen without a say. and when your missing money to fund your kids education, or funds for medical attention, or higher taxes, and shitty roads, don't blame the president or someone thousands of miles away. it's a local problem that you yourself created.

meh thats what you get for voting conservities! The damn fuckers cut everything because everything revolves around making a buck, they sold off one of our most profitable public services to a patron of the party :mad:

no, because the republicans have the majority, and the republican Governor is short 9 billion dollars. he has to cut funding because he';s got a stick up his ass that he doesn't want to raise taxes. this representative is a democrat and when the republicans wanted to re-distrct the state of texas her and all the other democrats walked out and refused the quarm. when they got back after the bill was killed, the republicans took most of the 9 billion from the democratic districts. SHE FUCKED US OVER, because right now they're still re-districting the map, they've accomplished nothing and costed the district well over 15 million in cuts.

hmmm yeah i suppose your right, she just happens to be extremely stupid/greedy bitch. But also keep in mind american view of conservitism is diffrent then canadian, our PC party would be considered moderate conservitives, with a few stronger ones. Our liberals are like the most left wing thinking democrats, and our NDP arn't even on your spectrum

it's Democrat vs. Republican. They told her that if she left that they were going to have a really strong republican canidate beat her in the next election. (47% voted republican this past election) and they openly told the democrats were going into executive session if you leave, they did it anyway. her dad did the same thing in the 70's with the legislative continuance. he went to 3 days of the 140 day session, and he got paid for his continuance. now he's under fire because he's been fondling women against their will. This political family is only interested in their pockets, nothing more.

the thing about it is this, no one here cares about politics. so when this "brave" move to refuse the quarm hit this town she was a hero. in fact no one here cares that what she left for is gonna happen anyway. it's suppose to be a political nightmare for this to happen, but to these people in this town they think it was the right thing to do.

Thank you Reno. I hate when I hear "That's what you get for voting conservative." The World's problems don't revolve around conservatism.

you don't leave the session to deny the quarm when the republican governor (who is the only one that can call a special session) openly tells you, were gonna do this even if we got to go into special session. Republicans have the Majority, they have the governor seat, and almost all of the high ranking positions....take your licks and pick your fights. the republicans have been taking their licks since reconstruction, and there's been no real comotion out of them. the truth is here that democrats in texas are losing grip on what the voters want. that's why people are leaving the party, that's why things are changing and that's why were in the situation were in.

No one in this town considers themselves a conservative or a liberal really, they're just democrats, republicans or people who don't care. but really above all that, deep down inside they'll vote for any hispanic running for anything, even if they are not qualified for office. because we've all heard or lived through the george pharr political machine. he was white, and "white politicians can't be trusted". :wtf: even some hispanics that run for office are considered "puppets of white people". that back in the 20's alice was suppose to get a university but the white community voted against it because they wanted the hispanic migrant farmer to be just that, the un-educated migrant farmer. (Texas A&I univeristy now known as Texas A&M univ. in Kingsville should have beenhere) and that the same thing happened in the 60's with the county community college. (Bee county college, should have been Jim Wells County and should have been in alice)

were no better. because back in the 20's and 60's whites put incompetent people in those offices, and now Hispanics put some incompetent drunk in Austin to let Republicans rape our programs and steal our money. and when it came time to take a stand and fight for a cause she ran away to another state as did the rest of them. anywhere else in the state, they're cowards, here in this town they're heros. i don't get it, i think we need a new revolutionary to stand before the public and inform them that everything they think is right is a lie. the only problem is that the revolutionary has to be hispanic, otherwise no one will listen. :freak:

this is the whole reason you don't vote, says the annoying anarchist.

sorry. couldn't resist.

it's people that don't vote that let idiots like that get into office. If a bunch of people stopped voting is has no effect at all, because SOMEONE out there IS going to vote and a victor will be annouced.

PS, Would you consider yourself a moderate republican Reno? you seem to have lots of republican traits, but there's a good chunk of socialist thought in you still too. Socialist in a good way though, not russian...

i dunno, i like to keep ignorant when it comes to politicians and their party affiliation. so i can stand back look at the guy and go... :wtf: you suck dude! or..... :D dude, i'm naming my first born son after you!!

i really don't know how to catagorize myself, i'd have to leave it up to someone else. :P

well, obviously, if nobody voted then nobody would give a care who the politicians were because you would be free-thinking enough to not listen to them.

nope, cause what will happen is they'll redistrct you to another part of the state where people do vote and they'll make decisions for you. someone living in the hill country doesn't know doesn't care what people in the valley need. not unless you tell them through an election.

sigh.

Reno if nobody voted that would mean everybody was an anarchist and anarchists don't listen to politicians. as for somebody in the valley not caring what the people need... well, politicians dont' care either.

no because someone somewhere is gonna need something that an anarchist state can offer, but a government will. there's always gonne be people in need and it's the responsability for government to take care of it's peoples needs when they cannot get it for themselves.

no.

it's the needy's responsbility to take care of their needs and nobody elses.

and when they have died because they lacked medical attention, or lack of food, or when they live in the cycle of poverty because they are uneducated, then you have no community. and their deaths or ignorance will be because of your own non-action.

do you honestly think you would say that if you were sick and dying due to your impoverished state brought on by circumstances out of your control and had no one to turn to?
