More Dick for Saturday.

The Conservative Review is run by Gary Polland, the former chair of the Harris County Republican Party. Recently he issued his “endorsements” for the upcoming city runoffs. Eric Dick paid $25,000 to Pollard and Buzbee gave $35,000 and both were endorsed. Mike Knox gave $5,000.

In 2015, Bill King donated $150,000. Dick gave $12,000 in 2013 and former City Councilman Costello gave $120,000. Mike Knox gave $20,000 in 2015.

Buzbee was real proud of not seeking endorsements except from Hotze or the sloppy seconds from the Fire Fighters Union but he had no problem paying $35,000 and recieving the endorsement for Mayor from Polland.

Along with paying The Conservative Review $25,000, Dick also paid some group called the Harris County Black Democratic News $8500 and received their endorsement also. Dick just can’t get endorsements. It looks like Dick is having a hard time.

Giggidy.

I’ve said it before. Tony Buzbee is just like trump. 

Buzbee is a politically ignorant, wealthy, “tell it like it is”, not a politician, lawyer who intends to self finance a run for Mayor of Houston, a political office. Sound familiar? It should. Buzbee is the Donald Trump of Houston.

And like trump, he lies. Every. Fuckin. Day. He has lied about crime statistics. He has lied about so called “corruption”. He has lied, and was caught on camera, about his endorsement from the extreme right wing group led by Steve Hotze. And now he is lying to the residents of Meyerland and once again, has been fact checked. 

Buzbee has plastered Meyerland with the following poorly designed flyer. Click on the pic below to read the fact checks by a Meyerland resident. Thanks to Art!

Buzbee is just like trump. He just can’t stop lying. If he lies to your face on TV he is going to lie to your face in person. 

I do not like Dick.

I met Eric Dick when he first ran for Houston City Council. I didn’t like him then. I don’t like him now. He is the kind of guy that would suck up to anyone and say anything to get a vote. Ask the Houston Fire Fighters Union. He probably told them he would vote for their 29% increase in pay even though he has no idea how to pay for it.

Dick has had a drama filled few years on the Harris County Dept of Education calling his republican buddy, Mike Wolfe, a “pervert” and asking for an investigation into his hiring process. The investigation resulted in Dick being put in time out and a recommended that Dick should not serve on a committee with Wolfe.

So, it bothers me when I and others get unsolicited text messages from “Char”, a volunteer with Better Streets Hou, a group I cannot find on the net. Needless to say someone had a snappy response.

If there was a way to file a complaint on Dick, I would. He truly is a dick.

The Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association has endorsed Tony Buzbee for Mayor. From the Houston Chronicle:

“Our firefighters deserve a raise but one that the city can afford,” said Sue Davis, communications director for Turner’s campaign. “Oh, and what happened to not seeking endorsements and not being beholden to anyone?”

As you recall the HPFFA endorsed Dwight Boykins days after he entered the race. Most had expected Buzbee to receive their endorsement even though Buzbee hasn’t sought endorsements from anyone except from Steven Hotze the extreme far right anti-gay community, so called “Christian”. Boykins told the Fire Fighters what they wanted to hear even though he knows the city can not afford the 29% increase they are seeking. Buzbee has promised the same even though he has no clue about what the city can or cannot afford.

The HPFFA’s recent endorsements are disappointing to say the least. Anthony Dolcefino has absolutely no experience what so ever in city policies or business dealings with the city in even in the city. No experience what so ever but he received their endorsement. As did Eric Dick who again will tell anyone anything to get anywhere. Buzbee did the same.

So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Buzbee got the 2nd place participation trophy. He told them what they wanted to hear even though he has absolutely no idea how he would pay for it. The math just doesn’t add up. 

Even the Harris County Republican Party has passed on Buzbee’s endorsement. It’s not rocket science folks.
