LAS ILUSIONES MATAN AL HOMBRE: CORTEZ SURRENDERS



(Ed.'s Note: During the recently concluded campaign for Cameron County Sheriff, Republican candidate (and Cameron County DA Luis V. Saenz's protege) Victor Cortez staked his political career on his "youth" continually repeating the fact that his opponent incumbent Omar Lucio was pat his prime. Yes, he is old. Can you believe that? Well, the old man beat him on Nov. 8 like he caught hims stealing chickens. He took him to the shed once, and then took him to the shed again. IN the photo above taking on Charro Days a year ago, Cortez thought he had a fighting chance because Saenz was in his corner. Well, that turned out to have been a kind of misplaced confidence in Team Saenz. People just don't like Victor, sad to say. But there's always the election four years from now. With any luck, the old man might be gone by then and the new kid on the Charro Days block may venture out into the hurly-burly of elective politics.)

And we are left with a dinosaur sheriff who is a hand puppet for the Reyna brothers. That means corruption continues and judicial cronyism will remain in the Cameron County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff has stated to the media that he gives favors to his supporters. That kind of favoritism is just more political discrimination here.

The way they colluded to get John Chambers off the ticket is the reason no one voted for Cortez. The Republicans weren't going to support the Demo who threw the decent and highest vote getting candidate off just to steal his spot on the ballot. The Demos weren't going to switch parties and vote for a Republican. I'm no fan of Lucio either.

Everyone likes Victor Cortez and I mean EVERYONE. He is nothing like you portray him to be. Extremely humble and exaggeratedly giving to the needy. You make him out to be something he isn't and that's just wrong.

You're right. People don't like Mr Cortez, they love him and everything that he stands for. He's a great human being is what I do know. This notion you have of him and our DA Mr Saenz is a fantasy. He was not in any way involved in Cortez`s campaign. The proof is he never went to any of his events and was at Lucio's victory party. Stop turning people against each other.

Cortezz looks and sounds too-Mexican. Going nowhere, ese vato.

Cortez hung around the Saenz clan and that will mark you forever. If every loves Cortez soooooooooo much, then why did he lose sooooooooo big! It is apparent that Saenz shady way of operating has stained Cortez's future forever.

John Chambers got his own self in problems. Lucio would've welcomed Chambers to run instead of Cortez. It would've been easier to beat him. By the way Robert Rodriguez was the one who got Chambers off the ballot not Cortez. Get your facts straight. Rodriguez wanted to be in the run off, Cortez was already there. There's no freaking conspiracy going on that's all in Chambers head. Stop drinking kool aid.

Lucio winning doesn't mean anything except he got lucky with the straight ticket vote. Not only that but we all know Gus Reyna was shaking in his booties. No one thought Cortez would get all those votes and he did. Win or lose Cortez IS and always WILL be the BETTER MAN!

Not at all idiots. Look at the votes in the primary when Lucio ran against Puente. Even Democrats were voting for the Republican Victor Cortez. Straight ticket votes got Lucio his win but Victor got a lot of support that's for sure.

4355 under votes!! wow that is 4355 who didn't vote for either candidate. That is a lot of people. How many of the people who voted for Lucio were former Chambers supporters? How many of Cortez supporters were Chambers supporters? Chambers received more republican votes than any republican candidate has ever received in Cameron County. Even more than Carlos Cascos. People wanted Chambers because he was not in anybody's pocket.

What do Chambers and Lucio have in common? They both beat the pants off of a failed DEA agent! Cortez is as big of a looser as the Reyna Brothers. They can only win by cheating and lying.

No honor among thieves. Cortez stole Chambers spot on the ballot. the truth is in the numbers. Democrats and Republicans chose 2 to 1 an old dinosaur over a theif backstabber who would go to such lengths to steal another candidate's place, it spoke volumes, Cortez was THAT DESPERATE to be on the ballot, a voter can only wonder why? How much $$$ and crookedness

Cortez is the winner no matter what the votes say. God bless him

Exactamente! Dios bendiga a Victor Cortez!

Chambers is not innocent but keep telling yourself that. I prefer Chambers over Lucio anyday but not over Cortez.

The sheriff didn't kick his ass, the straight ticket did. You are an idiot if you don't know that. Lucio didn't campaign or do any good deeds. He's done nothing and did nothing.

Former LEO of CC! said...

I predict that Omar Lucio will stay in office for about a year unless he gets sick! Then he will want the county commissioners to put that dried up alcoholic/drug user in Gus Reyna! Sheriff Lucio, the LEO's in this county DON"T want this lame socialite! Nobody likes him and he will not accomplish anything because of his lack of experience in being a cop and lack of being social able! Its bad enough he thinks that his shit doesn't stink right now! But we all know that it will stink more when you make him interim sheriff!
