Rivera Hurls His Own Caca at Cascos in the Form of Gilberto Hinojosa

Joe Rivera

As repulsive as even portions or pieces of human excrement are, County Judge Candidate Joe Rivera is lobbing a complete human turd at Carlos Cascos in the form of deposed former County Judge Gilberto Hinojosa.  
In a Brownsville Herald ad, reposted by Bobby Wightman-Cervantes on the BROWNSVILLE VOICE, the Rivera Ad Team faults Cascos for tolerating the blatant criminality of Conrado Cantu, Jr., Abel Limas and Armando Villalobos, all now imprisoned Democrats, but also covering up alleged theft of utilities by his chief assistant, Chris Valadez.

(Actually, I just pulled my Brownsville Herald, Sunday Edition, out of its protective rain sleeve today, because of Nena's stroke and hospitalization. Damn! The Herald made some money yesterday on political ads with even a full-pager by Cesar Lopez, running for the non-paying position of BISD Trustee, Position 1.)

The fine print of the anti-Cascos ad at the left says it is "paid for by the Cameron County Democratic Executive Committee" with the crusty William Skaggs as Treasurer. The address listed is 1767 Boca Chica Blvd., the building originally rented by Cindy Hinojosa for her Cameron County Texas Democratic Women's quarters, but formerly occupied by Betty's Tortas.  (Cindy needed a venue to display her political aptitude that was not well received nor encouraged by former Cameron County Democratic Chair Sylvia Garza-Perez.)

The first Rivera allegation, that Cascos "never called for an investigation of Conrado Cantu, Jr. and Abel Limas is ludicrous, since both were Democrats and blood brothers of Rivera's mentor and puppeteer Gilberto Hinojosa.  In a perfect world, Hinojosa, Limas, Cantu and former District Attorney Armando Villalobos would all be sharing a prison cell planning their next "big job" against the taxpayers of Cameron County.

Cindy, Gilberto Hinojosa

Gilberto, butt-hurt from two defeats already at the hands of Carlos Cascos, one in 2006 where he was personally defeated, the second in 2010 where the handpicked John Wood lost despite twelve affidavits of alleged poll worker intimidation by Hinojosa.  

Rivera is the second handpicked Hinojosa candidate. With Rivera poised to go for a record-breaking 40 years as County Clerk, Hinojosa persuaded old Joe to run for County Judge against Cascos.

If Gilberto Hinojosa, the State Democratic Chairman, is behind the current anti-Cascos ad, it smacks of legendary hypocrisy.  Conrado Cantu, Jr., Abel Limas and Gilberto Hinojosa baptised each other's children and were/are notoriously close.  If anyone tolerating the wrongdoing of Cantu, Limas and Villalobos, it was Hinojosa.  

Jim Barton, Chris Valadez, Gilbert Velasquez

The bottom portion of Rivera's ad deals with an alleged theft of utilities by Cascos aid, Chris Valadez. While no charges were filed in 2000 against Valadez, this has been a recurring theme of the Rivera campaign.  What Valadez IS guilty of is polluting the blogosphere with the livestreaming of the Maclovio O'Malley Show, a bawdy assortment of bathroom, sexual and political humor in three languages; English, Spanish and an uncanny impersonation of Bobby Wightman-Cervantes.

Living in the proverbial glass house is Joe Rivera, who has retained as a prominent operative in his campaign, Lucino Rosenbaum III.  Ex-con Rosenbaum actually served 40 months in state prison after facing possibly a 20 year incarceration for aggravated assault, cocaine smuggling, threatening with a weapon and bail jumping.  

So, OK.  Cascos vs Hinojosa(Rivera) Round 3:  Let the turds fly!
