Stickland is Out
Jonathan Stickland (M-Bedford) (the M is for Moron) has announced that he’s not going to run for reelection next year. Normally when an idiot like Stickland announces leaving, I would celebrate, but Bedford has been infested with a terminal case Teabag syndrome, and God knows who’ll run to take his place. As one commenter said to the accompanying story about Stickland bowing out, “even if Bedford elected a potted plant, it would raise the average IQ of the Texas House by 20 points.” That may be true, and I’m certainly will for them to test that hypothesis.
Stickland has given an assist to gun nuts who’s soul purpose in life is putting a gun into the hands of every screwball and criminal in Texas (calling it Constitutional); he’s also helped laid waste to Texas education system, healthcare system, and anything the state did to help people in need.
I say good riddance and that I hope an adult in Bedford will stand up and take this seat away from the weirdos and screwballs.
Weirdos and screwballs in Bedford? Unpossible!
But now I am curious. What is the condition of the Democratic party in that district?
1Yes.
2We can only hope candidate Phil O. Dendron (R) gets on the ballot.
Whatever Democrat in Beford decides to run for that seat had better have a stellar IQ, absolutely no outstanding difficulties including parking tickets and be built like.a tank. He or she is going to need all of that and more!
3Wasn’t the recently appointed federal judge who is anti-LBGT put in North Texas?
4Saw an Act Blue presentation that suggested that of the component parts of US TX24, Hurst-Euless-Bedford was the purplest (Grapevine-Southlake being where wealthy evangelicals go to preen their portfolios and slobber over Sunday schoolers, and far northwest Dallas County being increasingly settled by foreign born young professionals and California refugees, and therefore bluish). Indivisible Grapevine Area is block walking in HEB a lot these days, if you’re interested.
5Phil O. Dendron FTW!!
6Unless you prefer his Irish cousin, Phil O’Dendron.
Hard to tell them apart – they both always wear green.
Back in the days when you’d still have a selection of road maps on sale at the local stop-n-rob, Rand McNally had one for “Euless-Hurst-Bedford” which always came out “useless-worse-Bedford.”
7Steve Riddell, his opponent in 2018 has already announced he will run again. He did quite well and already has a campaign going. Again it is always about getting out the vote.
