Bill Flores Releases Radio Ad with Phil Gramm
Republican Bill Flores released his first radio spot of the campaign season today in his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco. In it, Flores enlists the help of former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, who argues that Edwards’ support of President Barack Obama’s stimulus plan is in stark contrast to what the congressman told his constituents earlier this year.
“In February, Congressman Chet Edwards wrote to the people of the district: ‘This election is about fiscal responsibility so we don’t drown our children in debt,’” Gramm says. “The only problem is, six days before, Chet ...

Labor day is past - I am helping on the phones - We are working for a demo sweep in Texas. I realze the mud is just starting to fly, but I hope the Repubs do not get amnesia.

A feckless Democrat vs. a surely pro-corporate, anti-people Republican. I just don't know who to care about!!
Let's not forget that Phil Gramm wrote the law that repealed the Glass-Steagall Act -- the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act -- which **deregulated the financial industry and paved the way for the economic collapse in the first place**. Two Nobel prize winning economists say he caused the financial crisis. (One of them, MIT economist Paul Krugman, calls him the "father of the financial crisis.") Oh, but let's listen to this charlatan complain about Obama's waste of your tax dollars. Liberals are bad!
