This guy, Edwards, is a complete fraud. He pretends to be a "Conservative" Democrat, and has had a hold on Texas' 17th (Waco). I cant vote against him, but if you live in that area, spread the word!

[HwyChile]

There is a liberal democrat here in San Antonio doing the exact same kind of adds against a conservative. He is saying the republican is going to raise taxes and fails to mention it is a sales tax that replaces the income tax. It is very dishonest, but I keep seeing those adds and no rebuttal.

I just heard the ad running on the AM talk radio station that runs the Limbaugh,Hannity, Levin line up. It is a total lie and distortion, but unfortunately, it will be effective. I can see why he is trying to set the record straight.

Rob Curnock needs to get a counter ad up fast. Emails sent to his supporters are not going to do the trick. Just my two cents.

Here's your ad:

It is said that Aggies do not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do. Chet Edwards is lying in his attack ads on Rob Curnock claiming that Rob will raise taxes. Rob supports a national sales tax on non-essential items that eliminates the income tax and the IRS altogether.

Send the career politician Edwards a message that you will not tolerate his lies. Vote for Rob Curnock.

I live in the 17th District and voted against Edwards yesterday. He has a stranglehold on this district. Sheesh, Nancy Pelosi suggested he’d be a good VP candidate.

They are running the same ad against Chambliss in Georgia. They tried the same tactic in GA against Issackson in 2006. It’s misleading but it’s up to us to correct the lie.

If I had ever heard of Chet Edwards or that Robin guy, I’d probably find this piece appropriate.

MY call to Cong. Edwards’ office last week: “How’s that 700B sell-out working for out for you? You voted against me and the American people in one of the most critical votes of your career. NOW, I get to vote against you.”

And. I did.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

I know for a fact Chet Edward is a dishonest man. I used to work for two different campaigns with different congressional candidates against Chet.

Chet is a lifelong career politician, and uses his congressional staff to aid him in his camapaign (which is illegal).

Chet also received much “contributions” from the defense contractors while he was in the Defense Committee.

He will do anything to keep his seat. Including lies, cheat, and downright unethical behavior!

After the election was over, I showered for a week before I felt clean again!

Chet Edwards is lying by using a partial truth. Corporations pay income taxes. Those taxes are a cost to businesses. They pass that cost onto the consumer at each stage of production in the form of higher prices. The total of these taxes is just shy of 23%. A $1.00 includes 23 cents of taxes.

The Fair Tax will remove all embedded corporate income taxes since income taxes will be abolished. The $1.00 will cost 77 cents under The Fair Tax with the 23 cents applied separately as the national sales tax. 23/77=30%. Consequently the amount of tax collected will be the same amount as with the income tax. It is this simple concept Fair Tax opposers like Edwards attempt to distort. Fair Tax ping!

[Bigun]

Chet Edwards is just like every other Dimocrat in that if his lips are moving he is lying.

Someone ought to confront him with the fact that his first vote in the new congress will be for Nancy Pelosi for speaker!
