WITH REPUBLICAN MENFOLK SILENT, CHAIRMAN GRAHAM WEIGHS IN ON SPAZGATE

The Brownsville Observer's
Recalcitrant Editor
From the editor:  Our couple or three Spazgate stories, nothing conjectural, mostly cut and paste inbox quotes from the players, have received little or no pushback from the local Republican Church.  

We got nothing from Tad Hasse, despite the fact that he's inboxed us countless times over the years with witticisms, anecdotes he found funny and we did not, offering for us to "use on the blog."

Chris Valadez, who has always found us over the years when he needed or wanted to communicate, has been silent.(We're not counting a few anonymous, carelessly-worded submissions to our blog comment section in Chris's familiar style as we're not IP address experts and don't want to bother grandson Jack for something that trivial.)

Carlos Cascos, only a few years my junior, knows how to inbox, but has not used that feature to send a message our way since the breaking of Spazgate.  Perhaps, at this very moment, he's at the corner of Hopeful and Desperation Street performing his legendary one-man campaign skit. 

So, with a slight deficiency of testosterone among local Republican menfolk, what about the ladies?

Precinct chair Anna Aguilar-Puente, with whom we shared a few funnies during the performance of the Spazmatics at the August 30 Cascos fundraiser, initially used the word "malicious" to describe our restrained commentary on Spazgate, then claimed her "freaking nails" interfered with her typing, but could she "call?"  

She never did.

The only Cameron County person with Grand Old Party connections with the cajones, intestinal fortitude, guts, wherewithal to communicate is Morgan Cisneros Graham, the Cameron County Republican Chair.  We publish her remarks below:

From My San Antonio on June 2012:

“Such as the approximately $2,000 he pocketed from lawyer and former Brownsville Mayor Eddie Treviño. It was fundraising time for Limas' re-election campaign. Treviño was passing it on as a donation from another lawyer.

“I took it as a gift,” Limas said, recalling how he stuck the cash in a coat pocket. “My state of mind was I'm not going to report it.” ‘

After reading that, it is remarkable how in the coverage of this fantasy conspiracy (that Roman Perez is boasting he was the braintrust in creating to hurt candidates) that you don’t find this to be repugnant. You seem to be treating somebody who did exactly what Limas was found criminally liable for and what Treviño was seen as unethically and legally complicit in as a victim of exploitation.

It is unfortunate that your conjecture is resulting in people being maligned and made to look crooked when they aren’t. It is further unfortunate that the coverage is focused on one individual and ignoring the huge ethical issues with his opponent. That smells like an agenda, and one of you is commonly known as having one.

I understand you are cooperating with somebody (by his admission and the fact he only promotes and likes these attack pieces) who thinks that by hurting the community by attempting to sabotage the campaign of an excellent public servant and candidate it is somehow going to help him exact revenge against me for a personal slight in some bizarre way by making me look incompetent as a chairman. Several have told you’re aware of it.

I find it very disheartening. I also post under my name as you will see.

  1. The word is "cojones." Cajones are drawers, such as those found in a chest of drawers.

  4. If Eddie Treviño did anything wrong almost a decade ago, he would have been at least indicted. He wasn’t. He’s innocent of these charges. It’s disheartening this girl has to use a news article her party’s standard bearer would likely insult, demean, and call fake news.

  5. Morgan didn't do as well as expected in defending her fellow Republican operatives. She resorted to a Trump methodology is saying, but "What about Eddie?"



    She called my reports "conjecture," when they basically consisted of inbox admissions by the players. I made no assertion that the actions of Hasse, Valadez, Sanchez or Gomez were illegal, just dumb and not adhering to a high standard of ethics or even strategy.

    Yet, i published Morgan's defense because it's the only one out there. The Republican boys have nothing to say.

  6. All that was missing from Morgan’s manifesto was #LockHimUp. No one is locking up our county judge.

  7. In regards to Casco, he was part of the state hierarchy. The state hierarchy supports Trump, a philandering, lying, traitorous unindicted co-conspirator to a felony offense. Ergo, Cascos supports Trump. He may deny it but he can't deny his association with the cabal of state politicians that enable Trump.
