My favorite State Rep. Phil King has found a new way to sleaze. Besides taking illegal gifts and violating ethics, he was recently sworn in as a Major in the Texas National Guard. Phil has ZERO military background, but he is good friends with Gov. Slick Rick Perry(R) who appointed him.

The usual starting rank for a JAG officer is first lieutenant until they finish their basic military law education course, then you get promoted to captain. But if he got to circumvent this usual process, some well-deserving individuals with the proper military experience got passed over, and that's not right. All this from a local attorney who was in the TNG for several years as a JAG officer.

We are now paying him an added salary for that, plus an added retirement. He must have a very cozy relationship with the governor in order to leap ahead of others to the discredit of the ranks of TNG officers who have earned their positions of responsibility in service which has included multiple tours in Iraq. There's a lot of angry vets around here.


Just a question........

DO you support democrats??????

CUZ they are much worse than this, much worse.

John Kerry talked a bunch about saving natural resources and he had this minivan that got like 5mpg..

The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes

Not quite LePaul. I'm a devout "all over the map" voter. :) I vote for who I think would best represent me and my slice of America.  I hate politicians that take the stage as holding the high moral or patriotic ground and then take the lowest, greediest road when they take office. Usually, those are Republicans. More specificly the far right wingers.

Just like the preacher from Colorado that ran a powerful PAC or the senator from Idaho that tap dances in the men's room these people pretend to be better than than the rest of us while secretly being just the opposite raping and pilaging the country. I took an oath a long time ago to defend the constitution against enemies foreign AND domestic. I believe these individuals regardless of party need to be pointed out for what they are.

The rightwing republicans want to restrict freedoms by playing the Christian card. They cry less taxes, smaller government then spend like crazy and build more layers of bureaucracy. I can't stand the "do as I say, not as I do" hypocrisy.

But, that's just me...

So it's not the corruption that gets you mad, its just the hypocricy...

Like the Demo who says we should all care for Mother Earth but who has a $3000/mo electicity bill, who says that's okay, because he buys green power...

...but his private jet is an enormous polluter...

The Dems like to preach how others should live.  Just don't you dare expect them to adhere to those standards.

The corruption would be the worst part of the hypocrisy. Remember these are the right "law and order" crowd were talking about. If your talking about Gore, eh...you may be right, but I don't think he's running for office anywhere is he?

So what's your point? You're mad at a guy that is out of office? Whoopty freekin doo. Uh, Newsflash... he's out of office.

I'm talking about a career scumbag that's running for another term so he can milk a few more million out for himself at the public's expense. You wanting to defend him?

Hey, he is a good friend of the conservative Republican that is living in a $10,000 a month house at public expense.

Gore is out of office? I thought he was out of office, but in point of fact he may be out of office.  I'll google it and see if he may be out of office.

My point is that corruption and hypocricy are truly bipartisan.

I'll take your word for it and accept your word that Gore is out of office.

I've got no arguement with that.... and two wrongs don't make a right, either.

You got a Democrat stealing money or taking away my constitutional rights and I'm all over it like white on rice.

I have yet to see one to post about. Hmmm....

But, we digress. This is about the current sleazeball running for office.

So you didn't see stories about a LA (D) who had 90K in his freezer, or a OR (D) who had an affair whit a 14 yr old, or a NJ (D) who withdrew from his re-election campaign due to bribery from the chinese, or a CA (D) who was implicated in the death of a female staffer...  or  

None of these sparked your interest?

For a self described independant thinker, you seem to be fairly partisan.

To be honest, no. I have'nt seen them. I should have heard about the guy from Louisiana, but also to be honest I could give a rat's rump about New Joizee.

Any of those running for re-election?

okie dokey...

The woman killer from Modesto  sorry... alleged woman killer... ran for RE but was defeated.

The LA D is still in office and is probably running, haven't heard if he decided to cash it in or not.
