Let's work really hard to send her back!
What an impudent woman! If you ever had doubts about McCain and his decision making ability, there is no longer a doubt. Can you imagine having Ms. Palin in the White House making decisions? I can't.

Views from Denver
I was watching the first day of the Democratic National Convention and enjoying Jesse Jackson, Jr's speech. The camera panned the audience and settled on the Texas delegation. There, as big as life, stood Dock Jackson. He was standing up waving a small American flag while Clara Maynard looked on. I got a copy of it on my recorder. I am going to save it for posterity.

Around Bastrop County
Bastrop County's quest for a clean sweep for the Democratic ticket in the November 2008 election is in full swing. The first two of five rallies have been held with great success in Smithville and Bastrop. The next rally will be in Cedar Creek on September 13th from 11 to 2 at the Volunteer Fire Department. We will be serving sausage wraps, sodas, speeches, and activities for the kids. On September 27th the Elgin group will have a rally at Veteran's Park with food, silent auction, speeches and food.
Most of the candidates will attend these rallies and meet voters. We also have comprehensive programs of voter registration going on throughout the county. Special efforts are being directed at over 65 voters and chronic non-voters.
The crowning glory will be the SUPER RALLY. This will be held on Saturday, October 18th at Fisherman's Park in Bastrop. The event will begin at 5:30. The Party is cooking and selling brisket plates as a fund raiser. The Club in holding a silent auction to raise money. We will have a live band that comes to us with rave reviews and the candidates will be encouraged to visit with voters. We expect 1000 people to attend, so don't miss it!
Our three national delegates, Clara Maynard, Michael Flowers, and Dock Jackson are working hard to get ready for the Democratic National Convention in Denver later this month.
Finally, we are all waiting breathlessly for an announcement of the Vice Presidential candidate and for delivery of signs and bumper stickers, so we can get those distributed.
I appreciate all comments to my blog. The more comments, the more exposure for our candidates on-line.

Uniting the Voters
Well, the dust has settled from the Texas Democratic Convention in Austin earlier this month. I am delighted to report that three of the 65 National Delegates are from Bastrop County. We have really worked hard over the last three years and it has paid off.
As early as 2006, I have been a Clinton supporter. Actually, I have supported Bill Clinton for much longer but in 2006 I voiced the hope that Hillary Clinton could become our next President. Sadly, that was not to be. She fought the good fight but in the end, she conceded to Barach Obama. I have heard some say that they will either not vote or vote for John McCain because they wanted Hillary to be the Nominee.
HOW COULD ANY DEMOCRAT SAY THEY WOULD VOTE FOR MCCAIN OR NOT VOTE???
This concept is beyond my comprehension. Our county Party has a slogan. "Remember Peace and Prosperity?" This slogan says it all to me.
I am also disappointed that Hilliary did not prevail. But, I am more sick of the rising cost of living, loss of retirement fund value, cost of war, and loss of National esteem abroad. I support getting the Republicans out of town and beginning the healing. We can't do that if we don't stand together.
The Republicans are masters of coaxing us to shoot ourselves in the feet. We need to get together and help our candidates. We need to help Obama, Noriega, Doggett, Doherty, Dipple, Jones, Duggan, Smith, Jackson, Henderson, and Klaus. I never voted a straight ticket before 2006. Even then, I didn't particularly like one of the candidates. However, I did it and I am glad.
Let's all make a commitment to bring at least five new voters to the polls with us.

Response to Bastrop Builder
Welcome to the Blog! I checked out your site and it is great. Good to know there is a place to find good contractors in the area.
BTW, in your listing of candidates you have Wayne Smith under JP1. He is actually the third Sheriff candidate. JP1 is not up for election this year.
Keep up the good work.
