Texas city elects openly gay mayor

Houston elected Lee Brown mayor, a left-wing affirmative action baby who was HATED in NYC for his incompetence. Houstonians (by their voting history and their tradition of putting ghetto trash into decent neighborhoods) is more PC than New York.

[Allegra]

What is it that twists your panties so bad about Houston?

You never miss an opportunity to trash this city.

There is plenty that is good about this place, but you'd never mention it. Somewhat reminiscent of how the New York Times operates.

Despite the regular bad mayor choices, Parker is probably no worse than most of the mayors of those far more liberal cesspool cities in the north.

Given the choices in this race I think the people of Houston chose the best they could.

I have no sense of her being a lesbian crusader.

I also had little sense of her opponent being honest after fact checking one of his commercials.

If you are going to automatically discard people because of their homosexuality you are going to cause yourself more problems than you solve.

Are you planning to not count Log Cabin Republican votes? Aren’t they tainted somehow?

[Clemenza]

I'd put her somewhere slightly below Bloomberg, but about Greg Nickles in Seattle.

Maybe the candidate sucked? I don’t have the answer but it seems that candidates that don’t do well often lay the blame on the voters that they couldn’t attract and never look at themselves.

I was just in Bloomberg's neighborhood last week.

When walking past City Hall one of those days there, I was really hoping he'd come out so I could blow cigarette smoke in his face. :-)

[TheDailyChange]

Texas, your DONE!

[Clemenza]

Blow cigarette smoke while eating a cupcake made with transfats would cause Mayor Mikey to have a coronary. Very much worth it.

[Allegra]

Uh...yeah. LOL

[BIGLOOK]

Don't mess with Texas.

Glad you're there to straighten things our .....eventually.

[The Comedian]

It’s time to stop playing nice and holding signs up at tea parties. It ain’t working folks.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[LussaO]

Maybe the candidate sucked?

How could a conservative candidate “suck” ? I guess Sarah Palin has upped the ante. Now conservatives are going to have to hold good old fashioned family values and be hot to boot.

What's up with all those cupcake shops in midtown Manhattan anyway? Is that some trendy thing?

Not sure any other methods; filming the events and getting the dems saying bad things recorded will work...more under cover stuff like ACORN might work...having a billionaire fund our own TV network would be nice...not electing RINO weenies would be a winner...we need a lot of cash for that, so you can bet all the dough Soros is making off the damage Obama and he are doing is gonna help fund their candidates in 2010 and pay for a lot of dead people’s votes.

We have cupcake shops - actually airstream trailers named ‘Hey, Cupcake!’ here in Austin, too. Cute as a bug.

I don’t do cupcakes but I think they’re pretty.

[Eagle Eye]

How can a candidate suck?

They can be total jerks. Or they can be marginally competent.

Or like this candidate you refer to, may have some odd sense of entitlement.

Unlike what the GOP thinks, voters do not owe their votes to any candidate or party and no party or candidate owns the votes.

If the candidate cannot attract the votes, then either the candidate failed to earn them or the candidate is in the wrong market.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I second that emotion!

So where would we be right now if there had been no tea parties at all?

Or did you guys expect that the tea parties would fix everything instantly?

Or did you think that the tea parties would be all it took?

I'm in favor of more than tea parties but the tea parties have been crucial so far.

Was very trendy about 7 years ago, when a place called "Crumbs" opened in the West Village and had lines of cakeboys and fag hags lining up around the block for something that was essentially a half-step up from Hostess.

The trend has petered out (the big thing now is gourmet hamburgers and shakes, I kid you not), but there a a few Crumbs franchisees and imitators still around.
