Lee Wins in Landslide!
-headline Nov 3
“I’m Joe Six-pack and I represent the American People” might’ve elicited an interesting response.
That was actually a Dick Nixon idea, and counterintuitively brilliant. 'Course, it means I'm totally deprived of representation, and in fact anti-represented ("dispresented"? "malpresented"?), since I live in Queenie's district. (Note: It's her district, I just live here.)
Long conversation, but actually it's about containing the damage that race-baiters like Jackson Lee and Cynthia McKinney do, while increasing their clown factor and disreputability by encouraging them to "act out".
A country-club racist solution, actually.
"No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it." -Theodore Roosevelt. That goes for women as well, Ms. Lee!
It was never wholly that way, at least for the 27 years I've lived here. Our part of her district is now 70% new "townhouses", on recycled 25' X 100' lots, that sell for $400K. Some of the fancier joints exceeding $1 mil. Lots of Beemers, Mercedes, Land Rovers and even a few Lincoln Town Cars like mine. Plenty of money here - and a lot of it going to John Faulk, her opponent.
Freepers that know who we can contact; a telephone number or website to report the voter fraud starting right now would be very helpful.
Until we know where to send the information, perhaps Drudge, Breitbart, Rush, Levin might be a start.
How about DeMint’s office or Michelle Bachmann’s office.
Walk outside the polling site, call law enforcement and file a complaint against the person before they leave or try to get their license number. Would that work?
Sure, if you can do it. It’s crazy at the polls on election day. I worked 12 hours straight without a bathroom break at the primary. I’ve gone 14 hours before.
That is why I voted early (absentee) because it may be too crazy, busy to take time to vote on election day, even though I am working my own precinct.
And it's true that the "power structure" has repeatedly consigned the whole area -- even the upscale stores in Northwest Mall like Palais Royale offer less selection, poorer selection, and downmarket products; Penney's and Foley's (now Macy's) have shut, as have B. Dalton and Waldenbooks.
But the area's regentrifying, with lots of new houses being built in older neighborhoods from the 40's, so it's a footrace between detached-housing neighborhoods' stalwart performance (helped by their civic clubs and homeowners' associations and intelligent redevelopers) on the one hand, and the steady decay of existing apartment projects being shoved down-market by new construction (over 3000 apartments in one two-mile stretch in the last four years). The Section 8 apartment-dwellers are the criminals. We're starting to see them walking at night on the boulevards now -- individual men in wife-beaters and basketball jerseys, just walking. And every time a potential buyer drives through the area and sees those guys out walking .....
Oh, and the swells on Pardons and Paroles upstate keep dumping releasees here, and have just added a couple more "halfway houses" (call 'em "round-trip houses" instead, it'd be more accurate) and filled them with the state's dross and dumpings.
So the rich people have decided we're the dungpile of the state, but we keep refusing to conform to their expectations.
I’m betting they have great “civic responsibility” though, showing up at a rate of 110% to vote.

Damn, I get mad every time I see one of these congressional district maps. Talk about convoluted and tortured!
Yep... They go to extremes no doubt.
She is also a lawyer, and wears a wheel on her head just like the Ukrainian lady Yulia Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko.
Arrest the worthless bitch!
Arrest the worthless bitch!
You are exactly right. That is why we did not buy a house in Houston when my wife's job went there. We moved to a smaller burb without all those problems. All my wife's co-workers ask "why do you want to live so far from work"
She just smiles at them!
I am 50 mi outside of Dallas
