You probably know the gentleman pictured above. His name is Gene Kelly, and he was a good actor and an excellent dancer. BUT HE IS NOT RUNNING FOR THE U.S. SENATE IN TEXAS THIS YEAR! In fact, he passed away in February of 1996.
The Gene Kelly on the ballot in Texas is a different person. He tosses his famous name into some Democratic race in every Texas election. He doesn't campaign, but just counts on his name to confuse voters into voting for him. Don't be fooled and waste your vote, because he is not a serious candidate.
There is an excellent Democratic candidate on the ballot this year. His name is Rick Noriega. He has been a businessman, has served in the Army, is currently an officer in the Texas National Guard and is a Texas State Representative.
He has served his country in Afghanistan. During the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, he was in charge of helping the evacuees in the Houston area. He has also commanded the National Guard as they patrolled the border between Texas and Mexico. And he has been a very effective representative in the Texas legislature.
For the first time in many years, we have a good chance of defeating one of our ineffective Republican senators here in Texas -- John Cornyn. Rick Noriega has the experience and the grassroots support to make a great senator for Texas. But first, he must win the Democratic primary.
If you haven't voted yet, I urge you to go to the polls and vote for a great senate candidate -- Lt. Col. and State Representative Rick Noriega.
Job, you are a doddering old fool. You would support anyone who came along in a military uniform with a D next to his name. You are a blight on the Democratic Party. Stand up for yourself and stop being a huge pussy like all these other Texas Democrats. Noriega is a lobbyist, he's in bed with Bob Perry, he takes money from big corporations, and he won't represent your interests in the Senate. Open your eyes.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I was almost tricked into voting for Fred Astaire for U.S. Senate in the Republican primary! :)
ReplyDeleteJV-
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are wide open, and I'm proud to support Rick Noriega.
Do you really think "Chickenhawk" John Cornyn would be better for Texas? Because those are the only real choices.
