Comment on How One Takes Rejection Shows a Lot About Character by Mike O

Never thought otherwise. Such things demonstrate and refine fine character; it doesn’t create it.

For the record…. I’ve known Jeran for many years. He had “good character” BEFORE his lung transplant, not just because of it.

Stating something generically without giving specifics hardly is a persuasive argument. Saying something negative about an opponent is not necessarily an improper tactic; only when it is outlandishly not true and deliberately held to the last minute as a way to prevent a response. Give the SPECIFIC example of the in the 70 race; otherwise your accusation ALONE is an attempt to smear.

While we highly respect Ken and Jodie, we are NOT their clones. We have respectively disagreed with some of their endorsements before and currently (for example, Jodie endorsed Sen Bob Deuell, even though he has an F grade in Fiscal Responsibility; this before he was unupposed.)

Still, in our handout, you WILL note that groups are pretty evenly split between Bracy and Scott; there is not devastation for conservatives in either choice.

What about the House District 70 race? It appears that the TeaApproved candidate (Bracy Wilson) is using the same negative campaign tactics as outlined above. Interestingly enough, his opponent, Scott Sanford, has the endorsements of both Ken Paxton and Jodie Laubenberg. Thoughts?

James, we hardly tell people what to think. We volunteer hundreds of hours to review as many aspects of the candidates as possible, from the aspects of the Tea Party principles. There are many, many people who simply are too busy living their lives to put in our kind of effort and trust our assessments, since we are like-minded individuals. They KNOW we don’t work on personalities, but on principle and policy. There are a handful of others who look at our work and use it as a guide of people to vote against.
Frankly, some of us are good friends with people we did NOT support. But we’ve gotten where we are with the ‘buddy-buddy’ politics that yield bad policy. That is what we are encouraging people to move away from

Comment on TeaApproved: Gail Spurlock for State Board of Education, District 12 by Mike O

The SBOE does NOT address colleges. And I have 300 college hours, two degrees and an ABD (all but dissertation). And I was NEVER the intellectual powerhouse my mother was who had maybe 9 hours in community college, but could practically recite the Federalist Papers, AND the various works of Karl Marx from memory.. she brought the many-degreed lawyers in my home town to their knees in debate and understanding of government.

Of course, in her day (and mine) kids came out of high-school fully functional. Not like today, where the highly-degreed ‘educators’ crank out kids unemployable, incapable of putting together a coherent resume and totally baffled while calculating a simple sales transaction at the store.

Who needs a college degree to know about college? That’s like saying you need kids to know about being a parent. I know people who’v been to college, and they think they know more. What do they know? I don’t have kids, but I’ve seen the Cosby Show a thousand times (even though I’m white as a sheet). Let’s stand up and start yelling at parents and college people and tell them to follow the TeaApproved people. Stop thinking and start blinking!
