Frank Morris, 80, the party chairman for three decades, resigned the post May 14, 2014 @ 12:36 PM. In a terse resignation note to party secretary Ida Stacy, Morris stated that he would not be attending the state party convention, had closed out all vendors, removing his name from the checking account. He gave the "new chairman 30 days to pick up the materials and files for the county."
The 30 days Morris allowed to transition the local party into new leadership have passed with Morris still acting as the de facto County Chair. Party members seem divided on the legality of Morris' continued control with some taking the position that he only resigned his "previous" term, not the current one. Others are set to make a legal challenge of that position.
The local party has, not only managerial differences, but ideological ones as well, with the Cameron County Young Republican's Club expressing their non-support of the state Republican platform.

The patriarch of one of those families, Frank Bogus of Harlingen, met with Morris to discuss the future of the local party.

This Mexican Fatboy could only be a Republican in the Valley. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you are the TYPICAL RACIST DEMOCRAT ASS HOLE TO MAKE THIS TYPE OF COMMENT. YOU democRATS are showing your true colors RACISTS, BIGOTS, AND WOMEN HATERS.
DeleteGet the Anglos out of the Republican Party here......they are too far to the right and cause Hispanics who are conservative from becoming active Republicans. We need a Republican Party that can be lead by Hispanics in order to get local Hispanic Republicans to come out of the closet. Frank Morris kept the Republican Party in play, but really never had a winner unless a Hispanic was fed up with the corruption of the Democrats.
ReplyDeleteAmen, vato! Give Gilberto a brown party to face and his little empire will dissolve with lots and lots of indictments.
DeleteIronically, the most extreme members of the party are Hispanic.
DeleteYeah remember the Latina trying to take over Jim's blog?
DeleteJames Zavaleta is doing it now...

DeleteDefine "extreme"?
How about extremely jealous? Like the over 40 female who professes being a great Christian but has her friends do the dirty work and defame anybody she perceives as a threat to her queendom.
DeleteHey, hey, hey! It's fat Alex!
ReplyDeleteTYPICAL RACIST DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!
DeleteOnly in the RGV would you find a car dealership named Bogus. That is because 95% of the people in the RGV do not know what the word means. Only slightly more know what the word Republican means. However, is you are rotunda and your name is Torres you have a fighting chance.
ReplyDeleteYour words label you as an ignorant; racist fool....sad.
DeleteI used to call my Chevy a Boggus Ford. Hey, it was funny in high school.
DeleteTo the comment at 5:49, please see link below with facts about the level of education in Cameron County. Right at 43% illiteracy, which means these people cannot even read the Brownsville Herald written at a 3rd grade level. Call it racist if you wish, but the locals are responsible for this state of affairs. No gringos are exploiting the educational system of Brownsville. On the contrary, it is a totally failed system, as the statistics show, that is solely used for local patronage. Over 500 million dollars spent by the BSD and these are the results you get:

The real racist are the local people who cannot educate their own. Do yourself a favor and check out the real dropout rate for BISD instead of calling others racist. By the way, statistically ALL large groups have the same distribution of intelligence. It is their ENVIRONMENT that is the problem.
Alex would make a competent county chair if only given a chance. He has paid his dues to the party without compromising his principles.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex!
Delete"He has paid his dues to the party without compromising his principles"
DeleteOMG! What kind of bullshit is this, and exactly what principles would/should be compromised in order to pay ones dues? This was pure political null speech. Elegant sounding without a shred of meaning. That tags it to one of Alex's people.
Where's Morgan? Did she forget how to turn on her computer again?
DeleteWho cares? Seriously....
DeleteI remember Alex when he ran against the Lucio machine. Alex is a real conservative who has stood with the party through thick and thin. He isn't one those Johnny come lately libertarians trying to divide the the party.
ReplyDeleteYes, Alex you're a real conservative... who voted in his first Republican primary in 2012.
DeleteJim, are you unaware of the American political climate or purposely trying to blow something out of proportion to get a debate going? Ideological differences are not unique to the local party, the entire Republican party is experiencing this shift in paradigm. But what it falls down to locally is a couple of firebrands in a pissing contest with some old man and a green young Republican who just entered the scene. One has to wonder what their fixation on her is all about considering she has only been around a few months that I have seen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this poast
DeleteMEATPLOW
The world doesn't revolve around "her," Guillermo.
DeleteShe thinks it does.
DeleteYours do apparently since you keep bringing her up all the time when she is not the subject of the article. LULZ....
DeleteWitches tend to get houses dropped on them.
DeleteOpportunity will soon knock. When it does, answer the door.
ReplyDeleteMaricones mexicanos por Greg ”el cojo” Abbott.
DeleteAnonymous 1:36 wants to minimize this fight for the soul of the Republican Party into minor pissing match, but there must be more to this story. Why would the Young Republicans go against their platform? Who makes up the leadership of this group to take them in such an antagonizing path? Does Alex Torres who looks like a Youngish Republican support or disavows those dividers?
ReplyDeleteJust calling it what it is.
DeleteAlex slipped in late to the Cascos event and was quietly making the rounds with the area field rep at his elbow. I didn't have much of a chance to more than say hi, but that guy was pretty full of confidence as he worked his way around.
ReplyDeleteAlex was the only one who noticed he showed up at Cascos' event. He's a pretender.
DeleteHe is always like that, genius.
ReplyDeleteImagine him debating attorney Amber Medina? Go ahead Repubs put up this guy!
ReplyDeleteLULZ!
DeleteI miss the days of Rusty Faulk and Tony Garza. These so called ”Republicans” are a disgrace to everything we hold dear.
DeleteYeah, they are too busy eating their own young.
DeleteAlex should really go on a diet he's looking like the Stay Puft marshmallow. Maybe the Party has a brunette calorie counter who knows a thing or two about weight loss.
DeleteShame on whoever wrote this about that young lady and her weight. She has some serious health issues and watches what she eats and exercises. Jealousy is an ugly shade of green on you people. I might not know her well but I do know that She has always been upbeat and positive and not the kind of gal to deserve this treatment from dead weights who contribute nothing. Shame on you!
DeleteSo does that mean Alex's rotund shape is because of a glandular problem?
DeleteAlex would benefit from lifting dead weights. His ass has it's own zip code.
DeleteBench pressing Roman is an idea, Dr. Fil. Thanks for the advice.
DeleteI think the new chair and his sock puppets have run out of things to say.
ReplyDeleteGive the sock puppet act a rest, Tad. It is as old as the pair you haven't changed since Thursday.
DeleteI wonder how Alex gets any dishes washed if he's always on MMB.
DeleteThe reason this is happening is that there are desperate members of the party on the outside looking in like a bunch of mangy, vicious dogs who were turned out of the house for a good reason: they bite and froth at the mouth with no cause or reason or good social temperment. One of the most vocal of these wild pack animals turns on his own friends with abandon, and the leader of the pack for all his intelligence he boasts can not even groom himself. Republicans have to spend more time fighting other Republicans instead of focusing on winning races and running candidates and growth. They don't even have time to fight Democrats. The comments on these blog posts are proof that there are some mighty unstable and savage creatures that suffer not only from the effects of their own malice, but cowardice and avarice and a hatred of anybody who can succeed where they themselves have either failed or never had the sense to try to prosper. It is a shame that they have a platform from which to lie and poison the water drunk by all in the efforts to harm a few.
ReplyDeleteOh Most Bashful, Cuddliest and Unbleached of Socks,
DeleteNo matter how much you get separated and mixed in with those people of brunette kind. Remember that you're just a bottle away from shimmering purdy white, almost golden. Just let your sole glow, cottontail.
Ribbed, cushy and warm,
Mar. Loom
Tad, stop being creepy. She isn't interested in you, so move on.
DeleteWho'd want 90 year old Republican snatch?
DeleteA man who can't please the 80 year old ones.
DeleteIt's OK Alex you tried your very best.
