Well, Hi There, Dallas Morning News!
The Dallas Morning News will be served with egg on their faces for breakfast tomorrow morning.
They endorsed Republican Vickers “Vic” Cunningham who is currently running in a heated run-off for a seat on the Dallas County Commissioners Court. A week of early voting is over and election day is Tuesday.
They just now retracted their endorsement. They discovered that Cunningham has set up a living trust for his children that requires they marry a white Christian of the opposite gender.
“I strongly support traditional family values,” Cunningham said. “If you marry a person of the opposite sex that’s Caucasian, that’s Christian, they will get a distribution.”
What the hell do white Christians have to do wth family values? Obviously, not much.
Additionally, Cunningham’s estranged brother, Bill, told this newspaper that his brother has used the n-word for years, a claim echoed by Amanda Tackett, a former D magazine writer who is close to Bill Cunningham and worked on Vickers Cunningham’s 2006 campaign for Dallas County district attorney,” the editorial added.
Now here’s the scary part. This guy was a criminal district court judge. Dallas is majority minority county. I think the Dallas Morning News needs to go back over his decisions to make sure his family values haven’t influenced his judgements.
And guys, it seems like you would have researched a little before you endorsed him.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Republican family values. There is a difference.
1He’s a true KKKristian.

This jackwagon somehow reminded me.
3There’s ‘Christian’, and then there’s ‘family values’. Those things don’t go together.
4Cunningham doesn’t need to become a scary ghost so he can haunt his children for the rest of their days, he already wrote a living trust thst will do the job for him.
5Prediction: the grass on Cunningham’s grave will get too much nitrogen.
6Yeah that’s our beloved Dallas Managed News. Although this endorsement is pretty bad for recently, in the 70’s I had a friend that introduced himself as a columnist for DMN, saying he wrote the “Pardon Us” column.
7Looks like the Dallas Morning News uses the same vetting process that the Trump Administration uses.
8She said
9“Tell me are you a Christian child?”
And I said “Ma’am, I am tonight”
Across the board, why do election committees do such a punk poor job of vetting candidates? Could it be they hate the electorate that much?
10@ maggie,
I can’t help but think that the election committees share the same twisted values as the candidates they support, and still vet them without any regard for the will of the electorate.
The Electoral College proved that when it elected Rump. I’d like to know who in the hell those people were and how they were chosen. They certainly didn’t represent the will of the voters. It needs to be abolished.
11John, I can’t think of the song. It’s on the tip of my tongue and I can hear the music for that part. Help me out, please.

Sorry for the ear worm.
