RUSTY POTHOLDERS FOR BIG BUCK JOB

I love living in Liberty County. When this community has good information, we make good decisions. We are unimpressed with people when all they have is a Masters degree or PHD or a pile of money if we see they have no common sense. We are a community of people that rely on God and on the good examples we have seen in our life and on our own experience before we will yield to any snake oil salesman or a politician at election time. We pride ourselves in learning from our own mistakes and the mistakes we have seen our loved ones make. We are Texans, proud of our independent southern heritage; and we were the first to recognize the nonsense of Barack Obama’s sales pitch when he said something along the lines of: “We are the greatest nation in the history of this planet; and I am here to fundamentally change this nation.”

Even though the polls from the last election show that Liberty County voters rejected Obama’s vision of a different America, anyone paying attention in Liberty County knows his fellow Democrats here locally are following the Obama plan to a T. Last week, Liberty Dispatch reported that despite the fact Liberty County Commissioners have just had the highest amount of money to spend in any four year period in history – they have plans to double our debt this next year. Their plans will leave this county in the worst financial shape that we have ever been in by using certificates of obligation and by spending three million more dollars out of our reserves and implementing other very irresponsible financial decisions. Who does that sound like? Commissioners have declared run of the mill budget issues “an emergency”. Then these “public servants” have turned around and used their own self-designated “emergencies” to give themselves more taxpayer money to spend. Who does that sound like? Who do we know that spends taxpayer money out the wahzoo so he can brag about all he has done to help us? But Americans have seen enough and we have overwhelmingly rejected Barack Obama last election. Local Democrats need to take notice; we have already rejected these ideas. We do not want the tax and spend overbearing unresponsive government the Democratic Party keeps trying to impose on us. For Liberty County to stop this kind of stuff we must all go to the polls and vote to be free from local politicians who would follow the Obama game plan.



Last week another local disciple of the head of the national Democratic Party handed out t-shirts and potholders at Potetz lumberyard in Liberty. That is right! Local Democratic standard bearer and candidate for re-election to the 75th District Court, C.T. “Rusty” Hight acted just like Obama. Hight was not at work and instead of unclogging the busy courts and taking care of the people’s business he was trying to give potholders to voters so they would re-elect him. Rather than take care of our business like he is well paid by us to do, does Hight think hard working people buying supplies at a hardware store in the middle of the day will be impressed that he has taken his robes off and come down off of his high horse to give us a t-shirt? Why would someone who is repairing a plumbing problem in the little bit of spare time they have in between working or some contractor hustling to gather up supplies to keep his men working on a job – why would they want a politician’s t-shirt that is not doing the job he was hired to do? Who does that sound like?

What has Obama done with a war going on in Afghanistan and with an unemployment rate and an economy out of control? He has played a record amount of golf and he has been the Campaigner and Chief at places like local lumberyards. He is constantly trying to convince voters that what they have heard about what he has been doing is wrong. It is a communication problem he says. Obama, like Hight, has been busy promising people what he will give them if they re-elect him. He is looking out for his own interest while the country keeps telling him in poll after poll that we need him to do a better job. Hight and our local Democrats are shameless. Can’t they learn from their political leader’s mistakes? If Hight wants to campaign after a long hard day of work, that is fine. But people that need to settle their legal business and all of us who want criminals to have their day in court don’t want to be subject to the endless delays of a Judge that has no respect for their time.

But forget that! Unless Hight is somehow convinced to reconfigure his calendar for the next seven weeks, he plans on working just two days a week! That is right! Mondays and Fridays is all Rusty Hight will be working to earn the six figure income we pay him. The next seven weeks of course are the final days before Election Day. All of the people needing to complete their business in the 75th District Court be damned, Rusty Hight is busy on his campaign (while all of the rest of the candidates, all of the local lawyers, and everyone with a case in that court wait in an ever slowing line to get heard).
Whether Hight will spend Tuesday through Thursday standing at the entrance to Wal-Mart handing out coozies with “Vote for Hight” on them, or he will be out trying to match the President’s golf score, the taxpayers are being cheated. Potetz shoppers that were given a potholder with “Vote for Hight” on it should look forward to cooking the Judge’s goose in November. He has been a loyal outspoken advocate for the Democrat’s vision on America for many, many, years.

Meanwhile, when asked for a response from his opponent about Hight missing in action, Mark Morefield offered no comment other than to say he and those working in his law firm will be taking care of their clients during regular working hours. If you get a chance to meet Mark at a weekend function or an evening event, we encourage you to do so. He is one of the most knowledgeable and capable lawyers in Southeast Texas and if elected he will be one more step toward rejecting the liberals’ influence and law in this county.
