By FBCStaff-The establishment GOP doesn’t like the values side of of the GOP. As Harris County Judge Emmett said “you have to change your attitude about abortion and taxes.” There’s a reason Ed Emmett keeps getting elected in a heavily democrat county.

Last week Sen Minority Leader McConnell addressed CPAC and made this promise:

“Eyeing November and an upgraded job title, McConnell promised to fight for conservative reforms. “If I’m given the opportunity to lead the U.S. Senate next year, I won’t let you down,” McConnell pledged. “The U.S. Senate will be a place Tom Coburn can be proud of again.”

But in an interview with the NY Times McConnel abruptly changed courses and promised to crush conservatives in 2014:

“This election season, Republicans led by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are taking a much harder line as they sense the majority within reach. Top congressional Republicans and their allies are challenging the advocacy groups head on in an aggressive effort to undermine their credibility. The goal is to deny them any Senate primary victories, cut into their fund-raising and diminish them as a future force in Republican politics.

“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” Mr. McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, said in an interview, referring to the network of activist organizations working against him and two Republican incumbents in Kansas and Mississippi while engaging in a handful of other contests. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”

What do you think, should we abandon our values so Mitch McConnell can be Sen Majority Leader?  He did promise, he’ll change and represent the voter if elected at CPAC before promising to crush conservatives.

Depending on whom he’s addressing McConnell, like Sen Cornyn speaks out of both sides of his mouth.  Is FBCGOP Chair Mike Gibson taking his orders from Senator Cornyn, who is taking his orders from Sen McConnell. Sounds like they want to get along and go along instead of standing up to the left.  Should conservatives be allowed in the FBCGOP and RNC?

It is time to stand up to the anti-conservatives in the FBCGOP and the RNC, for your conservative values.  Time to show up, stand up, and speak up.

By FBCStaff-We’ve looked at FBCGOP Chair Mike Gibson’s relationship with FBCGOP Treasure Pat Baig and her anti social-conservative views, and his support of Mark McCaig and his attacks on conservative republicans. Now we have of clearer picture of the FBCGOP Chair, who he represents and his agenda.
The obvious answer is the Sen Cornyn/Speaker Straus moderate wing of the party. While that is good for the anti social-conservatives and the moderate republicans who work for the county, but where does that leave the rest of the party?
Chair Gibson has made many mistakes, moving the LRD and losing money, appointing a divisive anti social-conservative to treasure, and supporting a lapdog for a democrat lawyer, but he seems oblivious to the direction he is taking the party. The FBCGOP Chair seems to be more interested in having his picture taken with elected officials than leading the party.
The strong party built by former chair and now Tx State Rep Miller is merely a shell of itself floundering from his lack of leadership. Attendance at EC meetings is down and his answer seems to be to change the party by-laws from 50% to 25% of the precinct chairs present to have a quorum.
Is that the direction you want the party to take, a divided party, strongly anti social-conservative and a party ok with losing elections? How can anyone justify giving up on the County Commissioner Seat with out even a fight?  FBCGOP Chair Gibson challenged the democrats on this seat and when they responded to his challenge he retreated. Or do you want a party chair that will stand up for our values, fight for what we believe, and one who serves all members?
Next EC meeting is March 10th, details to come?  It is March 9th and details to come?

One way to avoid having attendance is not announce where it will be held until the last minute.  The FBCGOP Chair’s lackadaisical attitude seems to be, “no need to attend I’ve got this.”  My advice to conservatives is to attend at your own risk, if you can find out where the meeting is being held.

When Pam Geller spoke in Sugar Land about what the sharia forbids, democrats protested her speaking, http://pamelageller.com/2011/10/sro-in-texas.html/  But the democrats outside protesting were not the only ones wanting to deny her right to free speech, inside FBCGOP Treasure Pat Baig was trying to intimidate, social-conservatives and Christians for being at the meeting by taking their picture.  We fully understand the democrats being intolerant and  there is no room in the democrat party for Christian values, but there is room under the FBCGOP big tent.  Gibson’s leadership team needs to be more tolerant.

PS I’ve written FBCGOP Chair Gibson and told him I expect an apology for the behavior of his leadership team who attacked me as I was minding my own business and leaving the last EC meeting.  So far no response from the chair.

By FBCStaff-There are some who claim to be conservatives but their actions give us a bad reputation. There are many PACs with conservative sounding names funded to attack conservatives. Then there’s the republicans who claim to be fiscally conservative but are strongly anti social-conservative.  A good example is a group claiming to be the Fort Bend Libertarians on face book and also use the name of Missouri City Concerns on face book to spread misinformation with personal attacks. This group led by Pat Baig , who gave money to a democrat to run against Rep Tom Delay and took out an ad in the newspaper disparaging Rep Delay.  It didn’t matter that the charges were false and Rep Delay was later acquitted.  Baig is openly pro-choice and there is no conservative principle more honorable than protecting the unborn.  One has to wonder what ax does FBCGOP Chair Mike Gibson have to grind with social-conservatives that he would appoint such a divisive anti social-conservative person to be an officer in the FBCGOP?   Baig and Gibson actions have left little doubt they are in alliance against the social conservatives in the FBCGOP.

Baig’s group while proclaiming to be strict constitutionalists openly supports democrats like Noel Pinnock, while accusing republicans of supporting democrats.  How crazy is that?

Here’s a couple of examples of the group’s ad hominem attacks:

Kevin Tunstall  And here we have our “conservative” Constable. He too is backing a “liberal” for election. Isn’t that wonderful? Will I see Al Green give support for Bobby Hebert next? Don’t be surprised if that happens in Fort Bend County. After all, it isn’t about principles, it is about money.

Kevin Tunstall It is difficult to vote for “the person” when they all receive remuneration from the very forces that are working against your better interests. You cannot simply go by the voting record. You have to see who is funding their campaign efforts. This can take an exhaustive amount of time for the individual. That is one of the purposes of this site.

Troy Nehls This is not me. If you are going to post something, be accurate. My brother is simply posing for a picture with a friend.

Tunstall is using misinformation to try to smear Nehls but looks foolish and fails miserably.

and mouthpiece Yvonne Larson:

Yvonne Larsen Early Vote numbers in Dem primary—for party chair Donald Bankston gets 4018 votes—but Ron Reynolds only gets 2183–guess some folks forgot to vote for Ron!

Yvonne Larsen Fort Bend County Clerk reporting ( unofficial) 4115 votes for Ron with 429 under votes…guess some folks skipped voting for Ron…

Yvonne Larsen Fort Bend County Clerk reporting ( unofficial)…Democrat Party Chair Bankston gets 7159 votes with 1384 under votes….

Ron Reynolds Yvonne, you are being very deceptive in your reporting. I received less undervotes than ANY other State Rep candidate in Fort Bend County (Dem & GOP). Only 429 people are 9.44% of the voters skipped my race. Whereas my Republican challenger had 1,117 people skip his race a whopping 24.93% and Rick Miller had 2,767 people skip his race, which is 24.25%. Finally, Don Bankston was running county wide and I only in District 27 (1/3 of the county) If your going to report then please report the whole FACTS and not just your slanted bias!!!

Ron Reynolds I’m proud to have such strong support from my constituents. That is the reason why I didn’t have a primary challenger. Moroever, I’m the only candidate for State Rep that is endorsed by both Democrat and Republican elected officials!

Bless her heart, Larson is determined to go down with the ship:

Yvonne Larsen The numbers are sourced from the County Clerk

Yvonne simple doesn’t “get it”, she doesn’t comprehend that Bankston has a larger pool of voters.  But a lack of knowledge doesn’t stop her personal attack:

Yvonne Larsen If you define “bias” as NOT being under felony indictment—then you would be correct; Yvonne Larsen is NOT under felony indictment

Yvonne Larsen http://co.fort-bend.tx.us/modules/showdocument.aspx

She not only doesn’t grasp the logistics of the voting pool, and she condemns Rep Reynolds without giving him the benefit of a trial.  Here’s how Larson bills herself:

About Yvonne Larsen

Fire Chief Russell Sander was presented the 2013 Safety Award by the Texas Fire Chief Association for his work as the chair of Association Health and Safety Committee. He was recognized for writing briefs on Line of Duty Deaths that happened in the state to provide quick changes departments could do to prevent it in their departments; publishing a one day firefighter safety stand-down after the large number of firefighter deaths in the state in a short time; and reaching out to the State Firefighter and Fire Marshal’s association to include the volunteer fire departments in the safety messages; and promoting firefighter safety in the state

FBCStaff-We have a very important primary election facing us in 2014, do not waste your vote. I’m attaching a link from a group that is very informed and knowledgeable about the candidates. I will address some of their choices and vacancies.

Texas Conservative view http://www.texasconservativeview.com/endorsements_2014_republican_primary_endorsements.htm

Use them to help make your own decision.

Sen Cornyn does not represent us or Texas values. Rep Stockman is a conservative and could force a runoff. The other conservative worth mentioning in the race is Dwayne Stovall.

Lt Guv Sen Patrick-Patrick  will have the intestinal fortitude to make public policy that will keep Texas conservative.

Ag Commissioner-Anybody who can cook bar B Que like Joe Cotton has my vote.

FT Bend Cty races:

Judge Court of Criminal Appeals Place 9 David Newell

District Judge 268th Judicial District Brady Elliott

DA 268th Judicial District John Healey

Judge County Court at Law No 1 Chris Morales

Judge County Court at Law No 4 Warren Diepraam

District Clerk Annie Rebecca Elliott

Justice of the Peace, Place 2 Mary Ward

The rest I’ll defer to their choices as they are a whole lot smarter and more informed.

But when all else fails vote for the most conservative. Don’t waste your vote by under voting or not voting.

****We’re in the primary election season, not municipal or FBISD they are in May do not get distracted****
