Caballero Campaign Woes

Yesterday at the Carolina Center, Theresa Caballero got in a verbal altercation with a voter that did not want to vote for her. The confrontation, which got the attention of all the poll workers stationed at the lower valley polling place lasted about a minute.

The exchange lasted for about a minute and eventually got pretty personal.

Caballero also went on the attack against her two opponents, Jose Castillo and Diana Navarette alleging that they are campaigning on county time in an email sent out to her supporters.

"That is absolutely false and is a libelous statement!", Castillo stated when asked for comment.

Castillo was referring to this statement that is part of the email sent out: "Both of my opponents, with their limited experience manage to draw over $100,000/year in salary and benefits of taxpayer money while campaigning openly during work hours."

So Caballero is making a statement about both candidates that they deny doing and she offers no proof. I'm pretty sure that is going to come back to haunt her.

In fact, I bet my buddy David K will get a kick out of that one.

Caballero also states that at least on of the candidates is backed by Republicans. Which is funny considering on Theresa Caballero's new campaign Facebook page, Bishop/Pastor Tom Brown expresses his support for her and says he's going to vote for her. 

Caballero also makes some weird claim about how both candidates "ignored your cries for justice and simply cashed their government paychecks year after year."

Yet Caballero has, year after year, cashed her government paycheck courtesy of the tax payers of El Paso County. You see, Caballero also gets a healthy serving from the "government trough" she has previously mentioned. She made a pretty substantial amount of money from El Paso taxpayers in the form of court appointments. SHE HAD NO PROBLEM CASHING HER OWN GOVERNMENT PAYCHECKS YEAR AFTER YEAR.

What was that about ignoring cries for justice again?

Her final statement is the most-hard for me to buy. She says, "protect your families and vote for Theresa Caballero."

What? Protect your families from what?

Protect your families, unless you were one of the retirees and other people affected by the policy that Tom Brown put forward. Their group was represented by Theresa Caballero.

Here's where I actually agree with Theresa Caballero. "Who do you want presiding over your cases"?
