THE GIFT THAT (CANDIDATES HOPE) KEEPS ON GIVING


(Ed.'s Note: We received this photo and accompanying text from one of our seven readers in Cameron County who decries the use of the holiday by politicians hustling votes. We publish their comments here verbatim.)

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Christmas has always been about giving, but some politicians never stop campaigning and will use any holiday to their advantage.

A perfect example is Pct. 3 Constable Adrian Gonzales who had been taking toy donations. His precinct covers parts of San Benito and Rio Hondo. Many officials up for reelection or seeking office have paid him a visit with a few toys hoping to cash in some fame on Facebook to say "look at me I'm donating."

If you look closely at the picture you will see County Clerk Sylvia Garza-Perez holding a few toys and each toy has her campaign push card attached. 

Is their not a rule in place about not giving a gift in exchange for vote? Clearly that's what's going on in this picture. This is just my observation and I could be wrong. If you are truly giving a gift to make a kid smile you give from the heart and leave politics aside especially during Christmas.

I hope you post this in your blog. Visit Constable Gonzales Facebook page to see who else is so desperate for a vote.

Thank God the kids will not be able to vote and even if they
were, I am sure they are smarter than some of us older voters
who get charmed with a b-b-q plate. The kid will take the
teddy bear and run off. That is what we adults should do!

Local officials and candidates for office will kiss ass for a vote and will make promises they know they can't keep. Sylvia has mastered the kiss ass element. To win elections you have to have an organization which takes advantage of all toy drives, like this and gets the candidate into large groups where she can kiss a lot of asses.

These two idiots are the same! Corrupt as can be! Trying to fool people into believing they are something they are not!They are not true public servants, they are all about themselves! Always have always will be! How many toy's did either of them donate last year or the year before that? NONE! Gonzalez donated empty backpacks with his name plastered all over them to make sure everyone knew HE DONATED THEM! Him himself, the main Constable of all Cameron County! He's a mean hombre that wears a six shooter revolver! Todo pendejo! Guys a fkn joke and Sylvia La Marana Perez isn't to far behind!

What's totally disgusting is the way Benavides/Sorola and Betancourt families are trying to take complete control of Cameron County.

These two power hungry families are out of control and spew nothing but poison through out the county. Last year these families were eager to have David Betancourt take the Tax assessor job away by any means necessary. They thought their plan had worked to get David in there but their evil plan failed!

How many of you remember Cameron County Judge Dancy? Ray Ramon would push him around in his wheel chair. Dancy always had a wad of $1 bills he would pull from his pocket. He would peel off one, give it to guys walking around downtown and say have a cold beer on the Judge, but remember me at election time and tell all your family to vote for me. What Cameron County has for elected officials in this day and time are nothing more than leaches, male and female. If they could get away with it they would hand out $100 bills from there campaign funds, so they could stay attached to the gravy train! Old Judge Dancy knew what a cold beer would do when it was 100 in downtown Brownsville. He could buy a lot of votes for a dollar.

Our county clerk needs to be replaced. The only thing Sylvia cares about is Sylvia. If she doesn't have a use for someone she moves on. Look around at all her so called friends she's walked all over and moved on. You can start with her husband! Her staff hates her and are ready to say: DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON YOUR WAY OOOOOUUUUUTTTTT!
LALI BETANCOURT FOR CAMERON COUNTY CLERK!!!!!

Former LEO of CC! said...

Two questionable individuals who "only God knows" got elected to office. Adrian, who was terminated from the CCDA for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You member Adrian! It was only because of the relationship between Mando and Adrian's dad that Adrian was not charged with a crime. And believe me when I post that there were more than two witnesses in badges.

Oh yeah he remembers! We all do! Any comment Adrian? or I should say Adrian's sister? Shes the one that responds for him since we all know Adrian can not write a complete sentence! And that was just the tip of the iceberg of Adrian's questionable past. He was also in the wrong place at the wrong time in the cemetery in Rio Hondo with the local crack head while still on duty as a police officer.Everyone that he and his father (Sloppy Joe) have wronged over the years will be serving them two a big cup of KARMA! His father's days as a school board member with San Benito CISD are numbered also! I don't even know how that pervert was elected as a school board member to begin with. He goes to the Health Shake Shop on Sam Houston just to stare at the girls working out! Not to mention they caught him masturbating in the parking lot at the VFW in San Benito, oh wait that didn't happen according to him he was hot and just took off his pants to get some air. Uh... Sure!

Matthew 6:2-4

2. "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4. so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

What have you done for our community ? nothing just taking up space & being stupid & critical! Our community leaders as bad as they are with their self-serving interests, do give up their time & efforts trying to make a difference! If you don't like it, too bad!

A common practice by candidates. To pretty on the elderly in retirement homes ,nursing homes, and day care centers. They show up with a box of donuts, or sweet bread and solicited votes. Sad, Sad,Sad. I have witnessed situations where clients from day care centers were bussed to voting precincts and were told they were going to shop at Wal-Mart. Some clients didn't know what day it was, other that they are to vote for a certain person.

BS 95% of the people in day care centers are from Matamoros and they can not vote.
