Only a few people out of hundreds at the hearings spoke in favor of it, the Democrats said. New districts that Republicans want would hurt minority and rural voters, said Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston. We have a clear message for Tom DeLay," Coleman said. "Stop lying about what you're trying to do."

Garnet Coleman? Garnet always seemed like a little weiner. I knew Garnet's family when I was in high school. A private school. I don't think Garnet or any of his siblings ever saw the inside of a public school. His dad, John B. Coleman, was a doctor (Steve Forbes said Dr. Coleman did abortions) and a real mover and shaker in Houston politics. Who became very wealthy from various businesses he was involved in. They lived in a big house of North MacGregor. Nice place. Garnet was a rich kid. By the way, his own kids go to private schools too. At least when Garnet is not assaulting the teacher.

Garnet makes some money selling ice cream at Hobby Airport (Peacole Ice Cream) along with ex houston city councilman John Peavy and with his consulting firm (Coleman Strategies) which appears to make some of it's money by promoting Democratic campaigns. Garnet isn't doing bad. He has a new house he built in 2002. 4000+ sq. ft. But what's odd is that it's only on the tax rolls for $141,170. Gee, that's low. With a pool too. And that's over in the medical center area. Why, Garnet's neighbor is selling his house which is nearly 40 years older and 1,000 sq. ft. smaller for $389,000. Garnet sure has a good deal on his taxes! How does he do it???

Garnet has a problem with redistricting? I bet he does!

You have committed a cardinal sin of politics -- you have exposed a Democrat for hypocrisy. It is permissible to expose only Republicans for hypocrisy. And if there is no hypocrisy, you can always fall back on "Republican greed." But no Democrat greed -- that is off the table and unbelieved by the masses, who believe that the Democrats only "care" about THEM.
