Stace,
Just thought you should know that we have been contacted at our blog-site near Houston and several residents have informed us that Half-Empty, a blog of the "Democrats Club" in Fort Bend County and avid Ron Reynolds supporter has been on a mission since September to run-down Dora Olivo (D) TX HD 27. These voters told us that the HE site has been blocking posts meant to defend representative Olivo. Apparently halfempty and a very influential family of bloggers in that community are responsible for this censorship.
I just thought this hypocrisy should be pointed out and the fact that their candidate does take money from some HillCo PAC (Perry Homes) political recipients that are supporting Reynolds. They also continue to attack another TPA progressive blogger for just pointing out the truth about their candidate and his civil case and admissions to the TX bar association.
Very disingenuous, if you ask me. Please look into this if you can.
