Orlando Grasps For Straws As He Sees The Writing On the Wall

I think a full scale investigation should be launched into this very serious allegation. I would personally not be comfortable with someone with ties to terrorist organizations running the city of Houston.

 

blah blah blah

What's the matter did Wayne Dolcefino go fishing or something?

I would personally not be comfortable with anybody you felt personally comfortable running the city of Houston.

but that's just me...

 

You are right RMT......this is all he has left. It is amazing what some politicians will do to win.

 

I'll lead the investigation. Here is what Fares said.

Here is what former President Bush said about Fares last February.

INVESTIGATION OVER, CASE DISMISSED

 

Even George Sr. thinks it is "unfortunate" that Fares was brought up.

Sanchez' strategy in this instance was "shock and awe." He wants to create as much heitency in the minds of GOP voters in Houston that they think twice about a vote for White. Unfortunately for him, the hometown Bushes didn't back him up and he probably wasn't expecting that.

Sanchez has as much as a 20-point defecit to make up according to recent polling numbers. As most of the politicos in Houston will tell you, the only way you make that up a week before the election is through a scandal and, unfortunately for him, this isn't enough.

The major problem for the Sanchez campaign is that the GOP has all but abandonded them. They were hoping from a huge chunk of cash from the national party and they just aren't helping because they don't want to back the guy that isn't going to win.

To make it worse, most of his other contributors from the general election have bailed because he relied heavily on donors with something to gain from his election - i.e. people who do business with the city. Knowing that he is trailing, these guys have no interest in backing the loser and struggling to get city contracts from a reluctant mayor they shunned.

Recently, the Chron mentioned that Sanchez was trying to take a page from Brown's book by putting what money he had left into GOTV (Get Out The Vote) efforts among republicans. Brown rented dozens and dozens of vans for election day in 2001 and mounted a massive GOTV effort to win the election. The problem is that you can't just round up GOP voters like you do African American democrats. There isn't the equivalent of Acres Homes or the 4th Ward for republican white voters and, even if there were, they aren't motivated to the polls in the same way African Americans and Latinos are.

Most importantly, driving those voters to the polls will mean driving White voters as well. Recent polls have shown as much as 40 percent support for White among GOP loyalists.

At this point, Sanchez is reaching and it won't be enough.

 

Isn't Sanchez related to Bush?

Or is that somebody else.

Jeff - Awesome sig, by the way.

Given the "terrorist"'s close ties with the father of the current President,I assume you also support a full scale investigation on the President? Or are you comfortable with someone with ties to terrorist organizations running the country?

 

Laughable. You make the egregious error of assuming that the ties between Bush and Fares are equal to the ties between White and Fares. The ties that Fares has with the Bush's are indirect at best. The ties he has with Bill White are direct in nature -- it's his boss.

Keep trying Major, one day you may be able to land a decent jab on me.

 

Please demonstrate that you have more depth to this claim than your typical bumper sticker demagoguery by explaining the ties between Bin Laden and the Carlyle Group.

So you're OK with it, as long as they are simply "very good close friends" with "terrorist supporters"? Interesting standard.

 

Goo-gle

It's been pretty widely reported that the Bin Laden had (and has since sold) a 2 million dollar stake in Carlyle or one of its related entities.

Stop kissing babies for the sinking ship of the Sanchez "campaign" and get with the program, son.

 

Why not? We have a President whose family had extensive business dealings with the bin Laden family, a lot of that bin Laden family having been allowed to flee the country after 9/11, when no one else was allowed to fly anywhere (no wonder Bush pulled the bait-and-switch with Saddam Hussein as the Symbol of All That Is Evil), not to mention the terrorists we train at Fort Bragg for operations in Central and Latin America (operations that the liberal media somehow never report in the papers), one of those terrorists living free and large in Florida, the same state whose governor is a member of the....anyone? anyone?....Bush family.

Now bin Laden we can all agree is a terrorist, I suppose. The guys we train at Fort Bragg? Well, I mean, they just kill a few hundred peasants here and there to make Central America free for American businesses. Who's gonna miss a few peasants, anyway? One man's terrorist, another man's freedom fighter.

When Noriega slipped his CIA leash, he became all that is evil in the drug world (never mind that he was buying and selling the stuff, in part, for CIA agents) and so we had to take him out. Too bad we firebombed 2000 civilians in the process, ironically, and tragically, in the part of town where a great number of The Resistance resided.

It's OK, though. I'm sure this was gonna be your next post, T_J.

(I see in scrolling down that I am a little late with these points, so I apologize, but sometimes I get indignant and jump right to the end of the thread.)

 

If only the ranks of T_J's unseen fans included members outside the mentally challenged community with whom he volunteers time, we could expect them to use keyboards and type in his defense. It is really unfair.

 

Heh...
