Dear Editor,
When I received this week’s edition of the Silsbee Bee, I saw the article, “Candidates give views before runoff elections”.
First
of all, anybody can clearly discern that the author of this
contribution is in strong favor of Stephen Takach. It is shocking that
your newspaper ever allowed such an extremely outright bias in a
front-page story, when it should only have been permitted in an
editorial.
However, what disturbed me to the greatest degree was
the shameless slander about Steve Stockman used in lieu of facts. In the
article, the author attacks Mr. Stockman on trivial personal matters,
such as: the location of his house, the “re-elect” on his signs, and
which parts of our district he previously represented.
Seriously,
if you want to attack Congressman Stockman, can’t you find anything
wrong with his positions on the issues? No, you can’t, because true
Republican, conservative, Christians can’t find anything, within reason,
wrong with his agenda. On the other hand, Stephen Takach has twisted
policies- he thinks that government and small businesses should work
together. Steve Stockman believes that government should get off the
backs of small business, and I agree.
Also, on the personal
matters, I will note that Mr. Stockman lives about two miles from the
district lines. Was he supposed to purchase a new house and create
thousands of dollars of debt, only to have the district redrawn in
another two or three years? If you do a small bit of research, you’ll
discover that “re-elect” is the correct term. It makes plenty of sense
that if he was elected once, the second time he is elected, he is
“re-elected”. And for this district: nobody has represented it in its
current form. Nobody has represented the entire new district, but Mr.
Stockman has represented parts of it. So, it’s obvious that complaining
about how he wasn’t in congress on behalf of this district is foolish.
By the way, have you ever noticed that Takach has NO political
experience whatsoever? He states that his entire political career has
consisted of serving on the board of a Homeowner’s Association. Also,
he’s only voted in two Republican primaries. Along with Barack Hussein
Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee, Mr. Takach has now been endorsed by the
Houston Chronicle, and apparently the Silsbee Bee.
Congressman
Stockman has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association, Gun Owners
of America, and Citizen’s Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear
Arms. For the pro-life cause, the National Pro-Life Alliance has
endorsed him.
Takach, on the contrary, only has local borderline
Republicans, RINO’s, and would-be politicians for his endorsements.
Also, if he thinks he looks pro-2nd Amendment in his pictures, he must
try not to lock his elbows. I’ve never shot a gun in my life and I know
not to do that! He’s a pitiful political pushover, and it’s embarrassing
that he actually calls himself a conservative, and that so many of our
citizens are believing it.
