REPUBLICANS TURN TO SLIMEBALL TACTICS AND ABUSE LEGAL AND ETHICS SYSTEM

In the pattern that has become increasingly prevalent, from Anna Jiminez to now the head of the Republican Party in Nueces County and now Amanda Torres, the Republicans are resorting to abusing the legal process to target Democrats. The latest outrageous action is to threaten to file against Joe Benavides for JP who is making arrangements for his father, Benny Benavides' funeral. Benny was a long time Democrat and community activist. As Joe Benavides prepares his father's eulogy, Amanda Torres and her turncoat consultant are threatening him.  South Texas Blue along with El Defenzor have discovered that ironically, Torres' campaign finance report is riddled with flagrant violations along with her campaign signs being illegal, which Jack Gordy conveniently did nothing about, but Gordy systematically attacks Democrats and their signs year in and year out.

The Republicans have systematically charged people, fired people (see D.A.'s office list a mile long!) and targeted people who are on the Democratic side of the aisle. Prosecutors who play politics have no place in South Texas and neither do judges who violate ethics and hit their opponent while they are burying their father (Condolences to Joe Benavides). Time will tell if this sleazeball tactics from the Republicans will backfire. We certainly hope so.

SUSIE SALDANA TURNS ON DEMOCRATS - TERROR TACTICS REACH NEW HEIGHTS

Nueces County, TX -- Breaking news. SUSIE LUNA SALDANA, union activist, former precinct chair, longtime compatriot and unflinching advocate of the Democratic Party, in the radio show LA VOZ today (October 5) endorsed Loyd Neal, the incumbent Republican running for county judge.

Trust can take years to build,but only a second to break. Saldana – who had stood up the MINUTEMAN ORGANIZATION, who had advocated for humantistic immigration rights, who had admiringly stood for many civil rights causes – now has formally bowed and kowtowed and pledged allegence to her former political “foe’s” platform.

A former friend said: “Susie, do you remember when we were the best of friends in our party? When we'd share our every thought for the common person?Every smile and disappointment?And every laugh and our pain? Oh, and now do you feel anything that you broke our heart? Because I seem to remember that more than anything.I trusted you, I trusted you to take care of the platform of the people’s party and stomp on it.”

Apparently before she made her final decision, she called up Clarissa Gonzalez, Democratic Candidate for County Judge, and asked her point blank if she was going to pay her ten thousands dollars. Ms. Gonzalez, who is new to the game, and does does not the the fund raising capacity as her intrenched opponent, is tapping into grassroots and assertive community organizational tactics to make up for the latter.

Have Saldana’s goals become displaced? Saldana was pressured to stip down as Democratic precinct chair and the outpouring of her ire is clear. She now identifies herself as a “professional consultant” – a “gun for hire” to state it figurative jargon.

Yet, Susie – (now in the final multihued active phase of her life), who was considered the most scathing critic of the platform of the Republican Party – is now angry at the barbarism of her “former” (Democratic) Party and feels she wasted her time “spinning her wheels” in causes that did not fill her purse with a net-gain.

“Will she ever confess the present fact of her artifice? Of her oversize contradiction? Of abandoning a humanistic rebel cause for a few coins?” – how many are the questions being asked by those that were once close to her. Saldana’s life has been an endless journey in body and spirit in search of an answer to questions she first posed when she joined politics. Her own family were politicos in Hebbronville.

Susie Luna Saldana’s inner tragic circumstances, her inner struggle cannot be sung in a simple words. Many that have know her for years claim she has this unusual ability to create gestures and conversational states that take you just beyond the pale of what one feels is the natural course of what is to be expected. When it comes to politics, she is compulsive and relentless and she goes out “for blood.”

Now in the mirage of deceptive reality, Saldana is constructing a new enemy, a new target to throw darts at – and this time, unlike previous years: the eyes, the lips, all the entire faces are DEMOCRATS. Devoid of all fear – gently ironic, shie is a master of freezing enemies and as such she affords us a microcopic vision of her small world in all its South Texas pettiness and semi-tropical languour.

As Mike, a former activist associate put it: “I have been around her for the longest time. Susie (Luna-Saldana) prepares for ‘war; before an election. She sometimes secludes herself; but it is not the secusion of a saint, not the isolation of a hermit, but that of a fuming political woman with a consuming fixation to terrorize her opponet and to tear apart her target, and then puff it away into the distant sea. What did Rene Rodriguez put in her skull as well as others. We looked up to her, but she is no longer with us.”

Long Time Democrat Susie Luna Saldana Endorses Loyd Neal and John Longoria for School Board

In an unprecedented move, El Defenzor has learned that Susie Luna Saldana, endorsed Loyd Neal for County Judge and John Longoria for School Board on La Voz at 7.30 p.m. today. What does this mean for Democrats and is this an attempt at Republicans trying to steal away the Democratic base?

EL DEFENZOR AND SOUTH TEXAS BLUE ENDORSE JUDGE JOE A. GONZALEZ AS DO ALL THE POLICE OFFICER ASSOCIATIONS

For the hardwork that Joe A. Gonzalez has done, and grace under pressure, STB and El Defenzor endorse him. The Fraternal Order of Police, the Police Officers Association, Nueces County Combined Law Enforcment and CCISD POA all have given him their support.

ROSE HARRISON-DEMOCRATIC CHAIR BECOMES DEFENSIVE AND HAS NO COMMENT FOR EL DEFENZOR

South Texas Blue in Affiliation with Homero Villarreal says: Despite the constructive criticism and questions we have asked she has become defensive.  South Texas Blue is an arm of Royal House Publishing and Homero Villarreal. We asked the question: How can she reconcile working for a Republican occupied local government as county attorney for Laura Jiminez, sister in law to Republican D.A. Anna Jiminez and answering to Republican Loyd Neal.  It has come to our attention that she has quesioned South Texas blue's integrity: We do not need an attorney or a doctor or anyone else to help us write anything. Her role in our estimation is to unite, not support factions. We have also learned she has lashed out a person we admire and wrote an article about. When Homero Villarreal called her for comment she refused to speak to him and when clarification was made about the origins of South Texas blue she then became very defensive.  Let us be clear: We will hold Democrats as well as Republicans responsible for their actions and we ask hard questions from you Rose as well as from Rene Rodriguez.  You are certainly starting off on a very wrong foot and representing factions, not a party.  Please feel free to comment Ms. Harrison and remember, do not do a disservice to the Democratic party, disclose your potential conflict and do not be a dictator or attack people or presume that because we are not an attorney like you that we are not intelligent. Remember, our research indicates you were a longtime legal secretary: Does that make you less intelligent, or because you didn't go to an IVY league law school. BE CAUTIOUS in what you presume.
