Shelley's Getting Noticed, and So is the Carpetbagger Blog

I want to comment on some things being discussed on a rival CD-22 blog, CD22 Watcher.

While this is by and large a good site and I agree with many of the things being said on it, I do take offense at some of the personal shots being leveled against me in a recent post. With an overall dismissive tone, the CD22 Watcher posters, whoever the hell they are, have implied that I'm childish and not "real" enough for them. Don't you guys know not to hassle the Hosh!

Well, I assure you guys that I'm for real, and you can bet your ass that Shelley Sekula Gibbs is for real, and come March she's going to clobber all these other people running in CD-22 and we're going to send her back to Washington. Hear that, Pete Olson?

Now that we've discussed the issues we disagree on, I think we can all agree that the current guy we're stuck with, Nick Lampson, is in business for himself and has little to nothing to do with the people of this district. We're just the folks he has to deal with every couple of years come election time. He's the Accidental Congressman, who scored a fluke victory due to circumstance, and he's been galavanting around flashing that snide grin of his ever since.

We don't need that guy. We don't need MoveOn.org and George Soros money polluting our political process. We don't need any more liberal hypocrisy.

We need someone honest, genuine and sincere. Someone with the talent, support and experience to do our district, and our country, proud. Someone who cares about others, not about self.

Who can do these things better than Shelley Sekula Gibbs (no hyphen)?

Who is more caring and compassionate than a doctor who has helped Southeast Texans for more than 28 years? Shelley cares for the unborn too, having co-sponsored the Fetal Pain Bill while in Congress and having gotten a 100 percent rating from the National Right to Life.

Who is better equipped to be our Congresswoman than someone who has already served in Congress and who has, as an elected official, saved the people she represents hundreds of thousands of tax dollars?

And as CD22 Watcher noted, who has the financial support necessary to compete with the elitist carpetbagging twosome of Nick Lampson and Pete Olson? None other than Shelley Sekula Gibbs, that's who. (You heard me right, Jake, P.O. is indeed an elitist carpetbagger).

When you add it all up and put all the pieces together, the choice for CD-22 is simple, it's a no-brainer: Shelley Sekula Gibbs. We sent her once, let's send her again.

I encourage you all to read Shelley's biography. It's a touching account of one woman's rise from obscurity in Floresville, Tx., and ascension to the halls of Congress. It wouldn't surprise me if they made a movie out of it someday. Seriously.

What a woman.
