UrbanGrounds makes an interesting discovery:
I really want to believe that State Rep. Rick Noriega (D-TX) is a decent, honorable man. I give him this benefit of the doubt almost entirely because he is a Lt. Col. in the Texas Army National Guard.
That carries a lot of weight with me.
Which makes some of the tactics from his campaign hard to stomach.
The tactic in question comes from none other than the unhinged Noriega Online Campaign Director, Karl Thomas Musselman over at the Daily Kos:
This election is our chance to destroy the Republican Party and its leadership. John Cornyn is now looking to become the most powerful Republican in Washington once Bush expires and McConnell is retired.
I’ve touched on the subject before, but Noriega gladly embraces Kos and has even asked supporters to help win a competition to get a fundraiser from the Daily Kos. Remember Daily Kos is the group that has said “Happy Twin Towers Day” in celebration of 9/11. This group and Karl Thomas Musselman should be denounced.
Yet, this very party is the one that claims decency, openness, honesty, bipartisanship and centrism…even though their beliefs lean wayyyyyy over to the Left.
On the campaign trail, Mr. Noriega has stated that he wants to represent all Texans. However wanting to destroy the party that represents the majority of our state’s citizens, doesn’t exactly sound like ALL Texans to me.
It sounds more like he’s only interested in representing Democrats and Liberals.
Yet, remember when Noriega was given the national stage with all eyes on him at the DNC this year…he took the opportunity to apologize for Texas.
Thanks but no thanks, Rick.
