IS IT A BATTLE OF THE SIGNS? OR SIGNS OF DESPERATION?




     
(Ed.'s Note: No one thought that former Cameron County District Clerk Eric Garza would make much of a race against incumbent Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio when he resigned the position to which he had just been reelected. But guess what? 

The race is turning into a close match with the challenger making inroads by dint of hard campaigning and establishing a presence across the county. The photos above purport to show that supporters of the incumbent are feeling the heat and engaging in a time-honored practice of knocking down a challenger's signs and replacing it with their candidate's. 

Then, the bottom  video seems to show a Lucio campaign worker putting up a Lucio sign where the Garza sign had been knocked down as Chief Deputy Gus Reyna walks around his white truck to help him erect his boss' new sign. That is his white truck with the Lucio sign. Reyna seems to have a bit less hair now than when the campaign began.

With just a bit over a month before the July 14 election and 17 days before early voting begins June 29-July 10, things are bound to get a lot hotter on what is now considered a tightening race.

Also on the ballot for   cameron County voters is the District 27 Texas Senate race between incumbent Eddie Lucio Jr. and Brownsville attorney Sara Stapleton, the 138th District Court contest between Gabriela Garcia and Helen Delgadillo and the Lucio-Garza donnybrook.

We know signs don't vote, but will the various candidates' campaign signs survive until then?

Omar Lucio is a devious candidate. This alone should be enough to retire the old goat.

Trump only thinks of the election...

Is anyone surprised here? I'm not. What exactly do you expect from that 6-times bankrupt, bone spurs faking, draft dodging, wife cheating, brain damaged, speech impaired orangutan? Trump and his supporters are national filth that needs to be wiped down and thrown into the garbage can where they belong.

Let’s address the fact that Eric is now wearing a fake badge. I understand that he is a certified peace officer which only means he graduated from a police academy. He is not a commissioned officer so where does the badge come from? I have seen that Sheriff badge for sale at the gift shop in the Harlingen Cracker Barrel.

A police force has issued a public apology after a black couple were “made to feel like criminals” by two officers who pulled them over and demanded to see ID because they were “driving a motor vehicle on a road”.

A police officer stopped me close to town by HEB and demanded to see my ID and a license to be downtown, needless to say that made me feel like I wasn't wanted and a criminal. I reported it to the local daily and they laugh and hung up the phone and I heard somebody say PENDEJO...

I remember not so far in the distant past when this SAME country was experiencing a financial crisis brought to us by the last Republican president and as usual a Democratic president had to clean up that financial mess. Back then Congressional Republicans were philosophically opposed to Obama's $960B stimulus package (BECAUSE, OF COURSE, A BLACK DEMOCRAT was president).

Fast forward to 2920 and their WHITE DEAR Cult Leader is president. This SAME Republican party are now IN LOVE with Stimuli to the tune of $3T - so far - and morbidly obese DEAR Cult Leader is requesting another $2T. Trump's Republican Party are now officially a CORPORATE SOCIALIST party - they are no longer even pretending to hide that fact.

Any person shot on the back while running away from any law enforcment agency officer should immediately be fired and arrested for murder. If more than two bullets hit a suspect by more than one law officer, both should immeiately be suspended and/or terminated depending on the evidence.

Minimum sentence for shooting someone on the back should be the ultimate punishment and/or life in prison with/out parole...

What's good for the goose is good for the gender an eye for an eye, good old european punishment.
