Meanwhile back in Corpus Christi.... Your are currently viewing this message

Kudos to 1440 KEYS for the interviews they have had on the show in recent months. This goes to Erics show and the morning show with Bob Jones and John Gifford. Y'all have really stepped it up.

I want to touch on the interview that occured this morning. As an individual who lives outside Corpus, but works in Corpus, I certainly have an interest in the politics of the city and surrounding areas.

I have heard of Michael Watts from time to time but I haven't had the opportunity to hear him speak live until this morning. Here is my take on him. First of all, I believe him to be a power hungry, self serving man who throws his money around to prove how important he is. This is just my gut instinct talking here. Having said that, I have learned to trust my gut over the years and I don't like what I am feeling about this guy.

As far as Juan Garcia goes, I don't have a good feeling about him either. He wants to run on his military record and frankly I am getting a little tired of hearing that. They want to say that he was a Naval Aviator and spent 14 years in the Navy. So here are the questions I have. What kind of Naval Aviator was he? We know that he wasn't an enlisted aircrewman or a Naval Observer. So was he an NFO or a pilot? Why did he get out after 14 years? Six more years and he could of retired. Could it be that he was passed up for Commander? If that was the case, then he definitely wasn't the "pick of the litter" as far as the Navy was concerned. Come to think of it, I was a Naval Aviator for 19 years! Even though I was an Enlisted Aircrewman I was still a Naval Aviator. I was also in for 20 years and I have lived in this area for 10 years. Wouldn't that make me more qualified according to the Democrats? Also, his comments on the news about the Gene Seaman ads was a lame attempt at plausible deniability. He said that he hadn't heard those commecials and knows nothing about them. He also stated that he is running a clean campaign. What I say is, "B.S.!!" I ain't buying any of that. How could he not know. If he wants to play like he has been sheltered from all of that, then I can tell you right now that he is not the person you want to elect.

Let me wrap this up with a comment from the illustrious Judge Schamze. He stated that Oliverez is clean of all the jail problems. He went on to say that it falls squarely on the shoulders of Sheriff Stutz. (excuse my spelling) This is another issue that I ain't buying. Looking at the conditions that I saw, these problems were well underway before Stutz arrived on the scene. It is funny what these democrats will say on a liberal station versus what they will say on 1440 KEYS.

I have more but this is already long. I'm wondering in anyone else feels a little uneasy about some of these people.

At this rate I am going to vote against proposition 1, for prop 2 and for Willie Vaden. The rest I just may leave blank.

Neal = big liar

Olivarez = bigger liar

Juan Garcia = scumbag liar

Seamen = professional liar

The rest = most probably liars

All of them ought to be prosecuted for all the litter they generate in campaign signage on the streets and the crap that floods my mailbox and hangs on my door every time I go out.

. . . was a P-3 pilot. They might have seamen flying aircraft in the Navy for all I know. They probably kicked him out of the Navy because he was caught havin'' sex with a goat or sumthin. He is, after all, a Demokrap and in league with the Devil.

It''s all pretty confusing to me. Unless you know a person, a vote is dicy. I must admit I have not had a chance to do any research so I am interested to read y''alls comments. I am trying to keep up with college and that''s a huge challenge right now!! I do want to vote!

How about....

... we all meet to discuss candidates and seats and all! I really would like to be a more informed voter and I must say I have not had a chance to research too much. I was thinking of a meeting at a place like Jezebel''s. Nice view, nice snax, and even an art gallery and courtyard! What say you?

That''s a pretty good idea. I even know of a Democrat who would love to come if food is involved and it is done during lunchtime. Elections are around the corner so we should do this soon.

If you are talking about tomorrow, that is a little too soon for me. Possibly a week from tomorrow will work out better. I can let our democratic friend know. It would give some lead time for people to plan.

...sounds good to me. Lunchtime at Jezebel''s would be just the ticket for a lively conversation about politics! Maybe I can learn something?

Big-O, I''m pretty ignorant about all those things you mentioned. I really haven''t a clue!!

I have stated stated and will state until the day I croak STUTZ is being made a scapegoat by the Damocrats and Oliverez and she could be getting a huge payola for her effort to take the heat.

I agree on your analysis of the other people mentioned above. especially about leaving the Navy after being passed over for Cdr. Politics does pay well for former Navy Pilots. ""Right Duke"".

Yanno, Curmudgeon, maybe if you raised your eyes a little above the belt, you might have a better view of the world?

Never did give a second thought until now.

I recon his enlistment was expired after Korea and he was released from Active duty.

Can/will you shed some light on this subject for us?

My advice to LG.........

is to not pay too much attention to the ads. They have a tendency to embellish their own achievements and tear down their opponent. I would look at their record and see if which one was more in line with my line of thinking and also who their money backers were and then go from there.

But, then the probability of them getting drunk on their power and caving in to special interest and not representing your interest is more likely than not.

Re: Watts -- Go with your gut instinct.

Re: Garcia -- Again, go with your feeling.
I know plenty of guys who saw a whole lot more action than he did in The Gulf and they don''t trade on it. Interesting thing that Juan''s last mailing (yesterday) made no mention of the Gulf War. Makes me think he may have fudged on that claim.
As to why he got out of the Navy after 14 years -- that would be an excellent question to ask him in an open forum.

Shamsie gives Larry the O an exemption on blame for the jail problems -- what an arrogant sob. Shamsie was the guy who sucked up to Al Sharpton -- got no use for that moron.

As far as being an effective State Rep.goes,does it really make any difference what either Seaman or Garcia did in the service or why they got out? Every candidate embellishes on their accomplishments and experience when they''re on the campaign trail,don''t they?..so why should this race be any different?

IMO,what voters SHOULD be doing is informing themselves on the issues and forcing their candidates to explain their positions on them,instead of being suckered by negative ads.There''s nothing that strikes fear into a politician like an informed voter.Seaman''s been in office nine years,and what has he accomplished?..not much.He''s been a steady,reliable vote for Tom Craddick..he helped put redistricting ahead of school finance on the Legislative agenda..he was part of six special sessions on school finance that ultimately produced a bill that was flawed at best and garbage at worst..basically,he shows up,votes with the Repub majority and goes home.You''d think after nine years in Austin,he''d have more clout than he does,which is next to none.

The way I see it,Garcia couldn''t do any worse,and you''re not getting much out of Seaman anyway,so why not take a vote out of Craddick''s pocket and bring some new blood to Austin in one fell swoop?

If Garcia was not such a sleazebag, sure.

I agree with you, there has been precious little on issues coming out of either camp. As it stand now I am writing in our caped crusader from Leopard street or leaving the race blank.

I would dearly like a ""none of the above option on the ballot."" The two party system is failing us. Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, you get your choice; neither has anything to offer as far as substance. We need something to get candidates talking about REAL issues that effect us all....not this see how low each of the candidates can go to hold onto a job that pays less per year than a high school kid working at McDonalds.

All this pilot ego trip too is a complete waste. I don’t care if they both drove their daddy''s pickup into an abatement because they were drinking and getting serviced by one of Leopard Street''s finest.

What makes them more qualified than Curmudgeon? At least with Curm you can count on the brutal entertaining truth.
