By Juan MontoyaTito Mata is used to heavy lifting.
His many titles in weightlifting attest to that.
However, when he sent an email urging his contacts to support the candidacy of Sergio Zarate against incumbent District 2 commissioner Jessica Tetreau, he wasn't ready for the barrage of class-laden messages by the feisty lass' supporter Viro Cardenas.
Cardenas, a one-time candidate for mayor of the city objected to Mata's apologetic explanation of why he was supporting Zarate and mentioned that the community was mired in poverty and was near the top of the cities in low educational levels.
This set off Cardenas in a rant where he took umbrage with Mata and said the reason the city was so poor and uneducated was because "a high percentage of pour population is on welfare and do not want to work...they want an easy life without lifting a finger..."The class-war "us against them" mentality" of the Tetreau camp has nowhere become so obvious as this peek inside Cardenas' viewpoint lays bare.
Those who have seen Tetreau's Facebook (and she lives a very public life in it) are often treated to glimpses of her shopping for expensive jewelry at her buddy Deborah Portillo's shop at Sunrise Mall, her flaunting of her shopping sprees at local boutiques, etc.
Girls, the song goes, just wanna have fun!We could well ask Cardenas whether Tetreau and her mate were concerned about the home economics of the workers at the car wash that they were taken to federal court and made to pay fines for violation of the hour and wage laws we all have to observe.
And if Viro thinks so highly of the "high percentage" of the population on welfare and not wanting to work, why did he try so hard to solicit their vote to make him mayor?
Not all the residents of Brownsville were born with a wealthy relative as Viro was so that he doesn't have to toil as they have to. And hasn't he been trying mightily to use his political connections to steer the municipal business to his mechanic shop, in other words, trying to get the public to subsidize his business? Welfare takes many forms, doesn't it?To his credit, Mata took a gracious leave of the cyber dialogue with Cardenas.
And no it appears that former blogger and current PIO for the Cameron County District Attorney Melissa Landin (AKA Zamora) also wants to get in on the fun. She posted her own rant advising the candidates to run their race on issues and not run their "family-oriented ad on a smut-filled blog that extorts money from people so they are not the next target."
Is she (and her bizarre blogger Wightman) the megaphones for Tetreau against Jerry McHale? Why not just come out and make the allegation instead of weasel-wording the charge? There is also a campaign against blogger Jim Barton in the making.
Well, this sanctimonious advice by randy Mellie was quickly answered in kind by one Lily Gonzales, who asked about the PUB rate increases, the flooding on Boca Chica, etc., that had not been addressed by Tetreau during her reign.
If what is "brought to the table" are attempts to shut down other blogs by Landin's proxies so that there will only be one voice available on local issues, that would certainly be considerably more obscene than a picture of a nude woman or someone defecating.
These type of statements indicate a self-righteous and grandiose viewpoint of themselves by the speakers, who we can only surmise think of themselves as the nobility of Brownsville.

Tetreau is an egotistical, self-serving, self-promoting airhead. Her Facebook clearly demonstrates her narcissistic personaliy. She belongs back in the car wash,
Not in city hall.
Well. Melissa is right..
Ted (Wacko Bird) Cruz for President
Wasn't Zamora the one who used Jerry when she was running for office? I remember her using "El Rocinante" to promote her candidacy.
The slim chance Sergio had is now zero. Anyone who employs the help of Jerry and his disgusting blog is a desperate fool.
The slim chance Jessica had is now zero. Anyone who employs the help of Bobby WC and his disgusting blog is a desperate fool.
The slim chance Jessica had is now zero. Anyone who employs the help of DPM and his disgusting blog is a desperate fool.
McHale has gotten worse over the years. His life is a cesspool.
When you read the Melissa post, you hear the same words coming out of Bobby' blog. It is clear that Tetreau, Bobby and Melissa are Bff's and that Melissa feeds Bobby all the info from the D.A's office. How can Luis Saenz still keep her after she leaks information to Bobby, who in turn bashes the hell out of Saenz. To top it off, Melissa is making enemies that Luis does not need come election time, and that is just around the corner Luis. You better keep your dog in a chain Luis, you messed up keeping her.....is she that talented Luis? You are losing a lot of support on your own Luis, now Melissa is helping your ship to sink even faster.
I would not worry about Viro. He is the kiss of death. How many candidates has he come out and supported and lost, not including his dismal performance? The lad is batting 1000.
Viro is the last guy that should be talking about not working and living off handouts. Guy is a loser.
I would venture to say that Jerry is now a cesspound, working up to a cesslake.
Tito is a real piece of work, he makes up all kinds of things. He thinks people don't know ant better but Tito your a darn liar and another person who thinks he's so smart and has all the answers but doesn't run for anything.
Our educators of our city......hmmm
the zarates think they are better than you. They are running because they are "Brownsville blue blood", my daddy was a doctor, and the people are too stupid to know any better.
You better keep your dog Melissa Zamora on a leash Luis because whatever she writes and whatever her agenda is she will pull more enemies and less supporters for you. As it looks right now you can't afford one less vote. You two are not very well like and even less respected not to mention your association with Jessica Tetreau only makes you desperate for attention.
Tito is in love with himself ......always trying to get in a photo with kids, especially little girls.Pobre menso.
Wacky Dog. Teodoro de la CRUZ for mayor of Brownsville. He is a loud-mouth genius .
The Zarates are ugly people especially the mom.....the hate and arrogance in her is very easy to notice, especially on Sundays in church......nobody likes her.....ugh !
"pour"?
Did they open the top of his head and poor his education into it?"
Luis Saenz has absolutely no idea what he got into with this woman (Melissa). For starters he won't win again, that's a given.Both republicans and democrats know this. A good friend who was an ardent supporter of Luis and who donated good money to his previous campaign, is embarrassed to even say his name. Next campaign, anybody but Luis......
If it's the last thing I do, God help me. I will campaign against LUIS Saenz. I know him well, he knows me well but, Luis your a bad person. You'll be shocked when you see me campaigning against you. It will really tell you it's over for you. You went the wrong path and trusted the wrong people. Your done buddy....
When handed evidence of voter fraud and election corruption in your own backyard you sat on it until the FBI and the attorney general took action first. You let Ernie Henandez walk with a slap on the hand.
You promised to fight corruption when elected.
Better get those convictions or it will prove what everyone suspected, you were always just another Villalobos: protecting the corrupt, prosecuting the little guy.
Melissa's statement makes sense. I don't see anything wrong with it. Candidates should run from blogs like that. If candidates see nothing wrong with an ad on those blogs they should openly admit to it instead of avoiding what everyone wants to know.
Melissa's problem is she is a hypocrite and therefore no credibility. She should take her own advice and run from blogs by disbarred loony bullies who attack ordinary people and fill their pages with gay smut, but there you have it. Criticizing others while doing the exact same thing herself.
FAIR ANALYSIS =
jessica is in trouble. she does not have it in the bag. there is no reason to go into the whys at this time.
sergio is gaining ground. he has done a lot of good things in the community and has shown to get support from several key players.
as far as melissa and portillo supporting jessica, that was expected. girls always stick together.
i don't know much about politics and the who's who but i think jessica has reached the max of her support. i think sergio is stealing votes from jessica and gaining ground. i see it as a dead heat and for the incumbent, that is not what you want to hear.
