Hallelujah

December 12, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Democrat Sylvester Turner, endorsed by President Barak Obama, is the new mayor of Houston.

I’m going to dance on the table, take a swig of tequila, and go to bed.

Houston is safe.

Be social and share!

    Local / state / national is the building base of Govt Vs. non exchanging elements of No Way policy. The conservative push of success has been their focus at the farmland level. I’m happy for Sly / i don’t see it cross carrying the other candidates at this pt. of numeration.

  3. Yeah, Houston! The local elections are where the Tea Party gets their evil on… glad to see them fail.

  4. But Cruz endorsed King. You mean Houstonians didn’t listen to Cruz???

  5. Yeah, we’ve still got a long way to go to turn Texas blue, but thank goodness we have this toehold on an important city. Governance of this state is crappy enough without letting the Snacibuper do their damage to Houston.

  12. That’s one for the good guys! Hurray!

  13. Democrats in Ft. Bend County do really, really good work.

    I want to make sure I understand something. Mayor-elect Turner was endorsed by President Obama. He embraced that endorsement…. Many other Democrats who run for office…. also run away from President Obama, and they lose.

    There’s probably a message there ….. somewhere. šŸ™‚

    Congrats on a helluva good job! Oh my god what a tight race! If 2.25 undecided votes per precinct had flopped the other way….

    Bet you’re glad you don’t have to go thru this every two years anymore.

    Give old Sylvester a high five at his inaguration for me. Goddamn, but he’s been laboring in the vineyards for a loooong time. I hope he makes the most of it now that he’s there.

    Voting sensibility … if unsure of of candidates leanings or intent / Take your mailed circular from opposition thinking & vote the opposite or other alternative. 2nd day of murky weather i’m pleased that enough Houston neighbors elected a Non business individual. He’s an attorney / and we all know they make nothing but, documents which protect our agreements amongst ourselves.

  25. Hopefully he can work to reverse the recent rule that only allows republican politicians to enter women restrooms and pry in their privates.

  29. I was expecting to hear selections from Handel for the Xmas season. It’s one of my favorites. But . . .

  30. I usually don’t vote in the run-offs, but made sure I got to my precinct in time to vote for Turner. So relieved to see he won. Still can’t understand how a city that voted for Mayor Parker for 3 terms voted against HERO. I was surprised how partisan this local election became.

    We lost the HERO vote because the anti-HERO campaign got in first with an absolutely deadly good robocall that basically said please vote to not let the pervs in the bathroom with my innocent little girls – and even though the pro-HERO campaign had three times the money of the antis, and even though it was really about preventing discrimination in housing and work – we never caught up after that first deadly good robocall poisoned the air.

  32. Onct in a great while it’s nice to get good news. I jist wisht it come along more often but I guess we’d git spoilt.
