I do not think there are enough "Grass Roots" to overtake our lawn. He hasn't even
done anything wrong.
Political posturing, no more. I hope they spend a lot of money. If the name Pat Robertson
is involved it already stinks of fish.
Pat Robertson is to Television Evangelism what Hulk Hogan is to wrestling.

yep, said this before as well. Too many whiners and I can't tell if these people are trolling or just that delusional.

Default Appropriately named,

You are a political Lollygagger.
This person has entered statistics. Stating what is happening , here.
Dispute them if you must with otherwise information. Otherwise your contentions to the
contrary are meaningless mere gumflapping. San Antonio has done extremely well.
A blueprint for American cities. This city cannot be duplicated, it is unique.
Within its' own specifications it is unique.
Again.

This column for subscribers at expressnews.com discusses how an east side church was hosting a "strategy meeting" of local church leaders to discuss efforts to organize the recall. It mentioned that they'd be taking the risk of losing their tax-exempt status by engaging in political activity.

Lol yeah I delusional! Take a look around! Yes we have jobs but have you looked at them? MAJORITY PART TIME! You can't live off of that. Please leave the gays out of it! It has nothing to do with them. Wow yes at one point Detroit was thriving where is it at now? We have a great economy but it has nothing to do with Castro he is waisting tax dollars! Whatever it will happen because most of his supporters are lazy and won't do anything to fight back. Just name call typical..

So basically Huckster what you are saying in your long post # 32 is that your ok with lying, cheating, misrepresenting and getting elected by any means possible(example, the box 13 incident of the 48 election dead people voting ) just as long as it's a democrat and they get the programs and laws that you agree with implemented. Too bad LBJ didn't have his father's character. If I'm misunderstanding your post I do apologize, but that's what it reads like and just to be clear I in no way endorse Ted Cruz for anything. He would make a used car salesman look like a saint and no offense to used car salesmen.

Please explain the good he has done that doesn't warrant his recall? We should be ashamed of the pathetic city council and mayor we have.

Ha ha ha. San Antonio is the ONLY MAJOR CITY IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY to have a AAA bond rating by all three major rating agencies. Yep, we're surely on the financial brink of disaster!

Default Wow!

Looks to me like you have it, JUNE OF48. That defining statistic. An Enterprising City. Some people cannot see it. They must rip at the old hometown as though it were going down the tubes , evidence contrary
does not have any bearing here...
It does not matter if it is all falsehood , just do wome jaw wagging about how bad our city is
and how bad it is going to get. Triple AAA Bond Rating? Wonderful.
How much worse can it get? My God, we are ruining the place!
Soon, it will be a ghetto.
Oddly enough, there is no ghetto in San Antonio. Not to worry, soon enough we will have one, houses
will be abandoned and there will be empty auto factories everywhere. Urban decay is about to begin.
The crime rate and unemployment will soon rise and will and match Detroit's.
Hell is coming to San Antonio.
Keep the gums flapping.

What you said is very true, but the trick is to keep it that way. Just like when a family over extends their credit and then they lose their main source of income they can lose that AAA rating overnight if you have not planned for a raining day. Right now things are going along pretty well and As long as SA does not spend beyond it's means then we should be in a good place for long time to come, but it doesn't take too many years of politically ambitious politicians to bring down a great city by abusing the budget and the taxpayers.
