Ya Get What Ya Vote For
Okay, so you elect a guy who has Ted Nugent as his campaign treasurer, claims that we are being invaded by Mexico, has been called out for cruelty to animals, and is just one slip away from being an accidental gun discharge headline and then you act all surprised when he gets elected Agriculture Commissioner adds crook to his resume.
Sid Miller is so damn crooked that when he dies, we’re gonna have to screw him into the ground.
We also elected ourselves an attorney general who is probably gonna face felony charges and has real sticky fingers. The upside is that if we add Sinning Sid to the crook list, we might can get a buy-one-get-one-free deal at the local House of Sumbitches.
Back to Sinnin’ Sid. Last week the Austin American Statesman reported that Sid hired the wife of his business partner to be the newly created Assistant Agriculture Commissioner at $180,000 a year.
Now they discover that Sid hired his campaign consultant, who is also an unregistered lobbyist, to be The Other Assistant Agriculture Commissioner. To lobby in Texas, you have to register as a lobbyist. It’s our equivalent of forcing them to wear a big red A on their chests. The guy Sid hired is still being paid to lobby, while he is unregistered, and also drawing a hefty paycheck from taxpayers.
I have no idea what else they’re gonna find in Sid’s back pocket but I can safely bet that it’s gonna be tasty. Hell, with front page stories like this, it’s gonna be hard to explain all that budget cutting he promised to do.
I guess we could take him down to the river and baptize him, but hell, we’d have to skim nasty for a week.
Thanks to Marge and Donna for the heads up.
I’m a midAtlantic woman and I don’t know from cowboy hats. By Texas standards, is that thing on his head as ridiculous as it looks to me?
And that grin just screams, “Run away! Run away!”
1Like him or not, and I don’t, Miller has a constituency in Erath County. Sadly as a vocational ag teach he has had the opportunity to influence impressionable youfs for who knows how long. And if you review his elections, his wins were never close or in doubt. He defeated his Dem opponent handily. Give this minion of Satan his due.
2Rhea, the hat hides the tin foil. Or the lack of active follicles.
3Texas needs more potable water,not less. Burn the sumbitch in awl. Texas has plenty dirty air already. A wee bit more can’t hurt.
4Now, y’all, that hat is the certified rightful winter cowboy hat by which all winter cowboy hats are judged. It is obviously his SUNDAY cowboy hat ‘cuz his workin’ one, assuming he has one, is bound to have sweat and dirt all around the crown plus some other unidentifiable stuff on the brim. Give him some credit. You think he takes it off in church? or in the courtroom?
5“Ya Get What Ya Vote For”
Sometimes. But with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and crooked Diebold systems, we also get clowns like Sid Miller and Dubya. We need both the UN and Anonymous to keep our elections fair.
Keep voting, dragging friends and family to the polls and everything you can to get out the vote. Remember. We need enormous numbers to offset the GOP cheating.

7He lost his last house seat in the primary. This is a solid Republican District, but it is not solid for Sid.
About that “Cowboy” hat.
Sid Miller is how Texans define “All Hat…. No Cattle”.
8“Ya get what ya vote for.” No, everybody gets what the majority deserves. And sometimes not even that, as with Dubya. I read the Guardian (UK newspaper) online and have had to defend America against Brits who thought we were all to blame for him. I told them that he was elected 5-4 by the Supreme Court, not the voters.
9“Skim nasty..” J.J you do have a way with words.
10Whatever is in Sid’s back pocket, it’s likely it came from someone else’s back pocket.
11He ain’t the first ag sec to find himself in deep voodoo and probably go down ingloriously although he sure does beat the last one I knew about (North Carolina) by the circumference of the earth. And he will go down. There are just too many barnacles attaching to him.
12Maybe his new campaign motto should be: I’m in government to help myself.
13“so you elect a guy” … Let’s be clear here…”we Democrats” elected this doofus (and all the other elected mistakes in our formerly great state!) because we didn’t get Texas Democrats to the polls last November. And if we believe that the Repugnants who now control ALL of the decisions that affect our lives are going to “fix” the “Sid mistake” through the court system, then we’re delusional. We’re stuck with this idiot until everyone who cares about ourselves, our families (regardless of the definition of family), and our future takes full responsibility for electing the people who control the laws and our lives and elect sane people who will make sane decisions.
14RepubAnon — Sadly, most of ’em are. We’ve come an awfully long way from “public servants.”
15You said it all in the title
16“Ya Get What Ya Vote For”
So you all don’t like this then get yourselves and other like minded to the voting booths.
Or you can revert to the other texas code…
don’t like them–shoot them.
But that is libel to see in a bad light.
I didn’t vote for this doofus and I still don’t get him. 🙂
17Sid Miller: All Hat…No Brains.
18He is a slimy looking pol, but not as bad as Ted Cruz.
Happy Easter to all!
19All the Above of fits, plus many unmentionables.
