Happy to see the results of this race. Supported Taylor, we don't need anotherthat was a big issue for me, too. I am surprised how many people don't remember it.
politician who wants to be a star of the national news. Rather have a star of the
local news.
Really didn't trust Van de Putte after her and her fellow pols raced off to Oklahoma

All that money and all those big supporters behind her just could not get around her own blatant hypocrisy.

She's bucking for an "elevation to the national stage" like Communist "Mr. Streetcar " Castro did.
The name calling and fat shaming is pretty sad, Lengua.Well THIS veteran didn't like how Castro and others tied it to veterans rather than let the LGBT issue stand on it's own. If it was so "critical" that their LGBT base be "recognized" , then why exploit us veterans here in Military City USA, as the Chamber of Commerce says we are, and tie US in with a group that the liberal socialist politicians knew wouldn't get a majority of community support in this pro-Catholic and Bible belt town ? Too bad you drank the cool aid and now realize that you got played. I have Christian values, as it appears Mayor Taylor does. So this VETERAN WILL celebrate her win over a career tax-and-spend two time loser liberal than RAN away from her work when she was a Senator. And no. I don't mind either. Have a happy 4th of July !!!
You do realize that Taylor won with the support of the for-profit 1604 mega church crowd, right? They backed her mainly for her opposition to the NDO. That NDO banned discrimination in city contracts for gays AND veterans. This veteran didn't serve to protect bigots. I served to protect all Americans. Taylor is in opposition to those values.
Go ahead, though. Celebrate the bigot's victory. We veterans won't mind. Originally Posted by TxTo
