Good, this man has agreed to support
this man who'll be running against
this man, if it sounds confusing, you
have 60 days to sort it out.
When the federal court changed the lines
and thus the players in the 5th District
congressional race, County Commissioner
Jim Tyson said he might run.
But in a phone call this morning, he told
State Representative John Bryant he'd
step out. So Bryant could step in.
I urge repeal of the more radical
portions of the Campero tax plan that
have caused a budget deficit
that's higher than the entire United
States budget was when Lyndon Johnson was
president of the United States.
Bill Blackburn, the former mayor pro tem
of Dallas, has also joined the race.
Generally that I support very strongly
the measures that were taken on both
sides of the aisle for
a more conservative approach to federal
spending. I think we've had rampant
federal spending.
I think they've been very loose controls.
But Blackburne lives a block and a half
outside the district.
But I think it's hard to take his
candidacy seriously when he can't even
vote for himself.
If a candidate can't vote for himself,
how can you ask us to vote for
Blackburn counters it's not an issue.
He doesn't think moving a block and a
half would make him a better congressman.
I think the the people will decide,
based upon who has demonstrated the
judgment, to work with all
the people.
You can expect to hear a lot more in a
hurry. I may have just started, but with
a May 1st primary, they won't waste any
time getting off and running.
