Ironic Statements I Heard Today!!!

Today is kind of a strange day, but I thought I’d share with you all some IRONIC statements I heard throughout the day.

Ironic Statement #1-Pat Haggerty was commenting on the County having the day off today and today being the first day for early voting. He stated that its an “…expensive proposition to have the court house closed for one day…”!

I almost fell on the floor laughing. This is coming from the man you brought us St. Patrick’s Day as a County holiday! Read my thoughts on that here: http://lionstar75.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/st-patrick%e2%80%99s-day-should-not-be-a-county-holiday/

Ironic Statement #2-Mario Solis Marich played a clip by Joe Lieberman. Now I am no fan of this turncoat DINO, but I almost died laughing again when I heard Mario Solis Marich make fun of Lieberman’s voice! This is coming from the guy who has the most annoying voice on 1650am! Mr. Morning Cup of Cafecito himself!

And Finally…

Ironic Statement #3-Okay this one isn’t really a statement, but it’s still ironic. Among her unpaid campaign bills, Hillary “Health Care Reform” Clinton has a rather large unpaid bill that is still outstanding. She owes…get this…payments for her campaign staffs HEALTH INSURANCE!!!!!

Gotta love irony…

El Paso County Democratic County Convention

DISORGANIZED. That is the best way I can describe the event. Nearly everything that transpired at the convention was contentious, but there was one thing that had almost universal agreement and that is the fact that it was soooooo disorganized.

 

It started from the moment people arrived. We were forced to wait outside in the sun until they signed people in ten-at-a-time. I felt really bad for seniors or people in ill health. Personally, I was fine about it, but a little annoyed. But there were folks who weren’t even able to stay until lunch because the time outside in the sun wore them out. Plus all of the walking and stair climbing was tough on them.

 

The day was so boring, that I actually found Mayor Cook’s singing to be half-way enjoyable. I’ve said it before, but Mayor Cooks singing bit is getting old and is a bit corny.

  

Not sure who’s cornier, the Mayor or the people dancing in the background.

 

But that’s the kind of day it was, BORING.

 

Once the actual business started getting done is when the controversy arose. Danny Anchondo spent most of the day screwing over the Obama camp. Yes I am an Obama supporter, but what I am saying is true. He even made sure he got in a diss to Norma Chavez.

 

He went out of his way to introduce every elected official and candidate present and even Paul Moreno who is an out-going state representative. But he never once recognized state Representative Norma Chavez.

 

The Democratic party establishment was clearly 100% behind Hillary and their let their fervent support for her get in the way of following the rules. I won’t bore you all with the minutia of all the rules, subrules, amendments to rules, procedures, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. See, I fell asleep just thinking about it again.

 

But the end result was that the delegates to the state convention, by party rules, is supposed to be a reflection of the popular vote in El Paso County. That was a 75-25 split according to popular vote. The delegate split that will go to Austin to represent El Paso at the state convention is a 90-10 split for Hillary. This was entirely due to the manipulation of Danny Anchondo and the rest of the Old Guard.

 

The Obama people, like Norma Chavez and Don Williams, tried to fight it out with the party establishment but that clearly wasn’t going to be a fruitful venture. All they were trying to do was get the fair share they were supposed to get according to the rules set forth by the party. No one was trying to get more than their fair share except the Hillary camp as demonstrated by the 90-10 split.

 

Norma Chavez went on air on the Paul Strelzin show on 1650am on Monday to expose what happened at the convention to the rest of the community. I would not be surprised to see Danny Anchondo make a move to have a candidate of the Old Guard’s choosing to run against Norma Chavez in the next election. That’s how ugly things got. Paul Moreno’s sister was even trying to start a physical confrontation with Norma Chavez.

 

And people are trying to say with a straight face that they are going to support the Democratic nominee in the general election? Not by what I saw. Certainly not if the behavior of the party establishment is any indication of the rest of the Hillary supporters.

 

I don’t fault Hillary or most of her supporters who are not militant, but you read this blog because I call it like I see it. And what I saw was the manipulation of power at the expense of the minority.

 

Danny Anchondo took the Democrat out of democracy!
