Way to Go El Paso Democratic Party, You Never Cease to Disappoint

There was another Rally in the Valley type event last weekend to reach voters. Basically another chance give voters free beer and food.

I stopped by and kept a low-profile because I didn't want to be there long. The turn-out was abysmal. I was so surprised out how light the turnout was that I went back later thinking maybe I had the wrong information about the time.

It was a very poor turnout.

But once again, my Party and the establishment in the Party continue to disappoint me. The event was for a specific faction of judicial candidates. They are pretty much the Tejano Democrats' slate of candidates.

And yet the County Democratic Party's banner was there along with the Party Chair.

Once again, taking sides. I'm pretty sick of them doing that in contest races during a primary.

Not that they have an excellent track record. Pretty much every one of their candidates of choice has been beaten. So its becoming like being on the cover of a Madden video game.

What pisses me off the most of all this taking sides crap is the fact that the Party establishment is supportive of candidates that don't even have a strong record of supporting the Party!

What the hell?

I looked through the pictures of the event and with the exception of Judge Lizarraga and Chente Quintanilla, I don't see ANY candidate that is a Party regular. Mike Cervantes? Never really been around the Party. Theresa Caballero? Don't even get me started.

Here's an idea, how about the Party stays out of it in the Primary? And if they are going to get involved, how about getting behind candidates that actually do stuff for the Party and are actually good Democrats.

Now there's a crazy idea, the Democratic Party supporting good Democrats...
