Running for Mayor of San Antonio

[Buddy Holly]

Yes, I can. I'll refrain from calling you an illiterate dumbass because I can see how someone just might take it as me saying "he might play switcheroo again"............although it doesn't make much sense on any level why he would do that once he is already in office.

Yes you can because you wrote it. You knew the context of what you wrote. WE didn't and no one who read that read that with the intention you had in mind.

If someone in a crowded theater shouted FIRE and everyone in the theater panicked, got up and all ran to the exits causing some people injury and in the end it turned out the person was lying and there was no fire.

If someone then said: "I hope they don't do something like that again."

Do you honestly think the something that person is talking about is commit another deceiving act and do you think anyone would interpret what that person as meaning "another deceitful act"? Come on, be honest.

What's most annoying about SinBrain is that she doesn't give two s about strip clubs, she saw an opportunity to get her ugly mug on the news and advance her political career in the eyes of those that do not approve of strip clubs so she jumped at the opportunity.

Yes you can because you wrote it. You knew the context of what you wrote. WE didn't and no one who read that read that with the intention you had in mind.

Great! I've already explained the context. What more are you trying to prove, dipsh!t?

If someone in a crowded theater shouted FIRE and everyone in the theater panicked, got up and all ran to the exits causing some people injury and in the end it turned out the person was lying and there was no fire.

If someone then said: "I hope they don't do something like that again."

stupid analogy, but ok, let's beat the dead horse some more.

maybe.

It's a character issue for me. He's a liar. If he tries to get away with having his brother double for him so he can be in two places at once, then what would make me believe that he wouldn't do something like that again if elected?

I was typing fast, was referring to the lying and/or deceiving. Insert deceptive in between the words "something" and "like" and I think I might have avoided you getting all worked up and confused.........I think......

I can't think of any legitimate reason why or how he would try to a pull a switcheroo once he is in office. Can you? It would seem to me near impossible to fool people during a city council meeting or during an interview in front of the camera or fool his secretary, but for some reason, you think I think it's not only possible, but a probability. Nice deduction, Holmes.

Do you honestly think the something that person is talking about is commit another deceiving act and do you think anyone would interpret what that person as meaning "another deceitful act"? Come on, be honest.

I've already said "yes". You can read it however you want. I don't really give a crap and even if you somehow were to "bust me" in a lie, it's not gonna change my opinion.

And why are you questioning my integrity? I'm not running for office and you said lying doesn't matter to you because everybody does it.

I'm not voting for Castro just because of your incessant babbling that he's the least of the three evils.

what a fool.

[Buddy Holly]

I'm not running for office and you said lying doesn't matter to you because everybody does it.

When did I say that? Please quote me so I can read it with my own eyes. Thanks.

Vote for whoever you want. I'm not trying to convince you to change your vote dummy.

[Blake]

When did I say that? Please quote me so I can read it with my own eyes. Thanks.

Oh man, get off your high horse. Everyone lies, that was probably the lamest lie/deception ever committed because of the obvious "you can tell them apart" problem in the lie/deception.....

you're welcome

Vote for whoever you want. I'm not trying to convince you to change your vote dummy.

oh, so you're basically doing nothing here but accusing me of being a liar and trashing people for the reasons they are voting the way they are.

You're an idiot and a doosh bag.

[MannyIsGod]

I can't vote since I'm like literally 200 yards outside of city limits. I don't really care anymore either. I think Castro is probably the best option and by best I mean the least disgusting.

[Buddy Holly]

you're welcome

Again, please post the quote where I said lying is doesn't matter.

I know where I stated the obvious (everyone lies) isn't where you came to the genius conclusion that I think lying doesn't matter. Please, please don't be that dense.

I didn't know we took parades that seriously in SA. I thought they were supposed to be fun and a little wacky..

So next time the Spurs have a river parade you have no problem with Tim letting Dirk fill in for him?

[spurster]

Maybe not Dirk subbing for Tim, but they could use a boat for players from teams the Spurs have beaten.

[Nbadan]

There are a tons of reasons to hate Castro, but the twin mistake has to be among the most stupid....as for me? I'm waiting for Gordon Hartman to throw his hat in the race (yes, I'm starting a buzz) .....

[Biernutz]

Is that seriously the only reason you are not voting for him? That's beyond stupid. That was just a mix-up. I've met him, his brother, and mother on several occasions for work (my boss grew up with them on the westside and is very close to the family) and have nothing bad to say about them..not slimy at all (aside from the slicked back hair).

no, there was pretty much no mix up.

and yes, that's really the only reason I'm not voting for him.....

That's my reason for not voting for him also. That tells a lot about him and the way he does things.

[JudynTX]

I still have no freakin clue who I'm voting for.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Julian Castro reminds me of a young Henry Cisneros.

yeah, he turned out to be quite the hispanic icon.

[JudynTX]

yeah, he turned out to be quite the hispanic icon.

Henry Cisnero's little brother?

[Richard Cranium]

I've got no problems with Julian Castro.

[CosmicCowboy]

I don't like any of them but I especially dislike Castro. He is divisive and has made a career of pandering to illiterate anti gringo/anti growth sentiments and is super-pro union...and the city is the biggest union employer around already...

I don't particularly like any of the others either but Cibrian especially is a joke...she's not particularly dangerous like Castro, just stupid.

I guess I will vote for DeBerry-Mejia although I'm not crazy about her toll road lobbying in the past.

[JudynTX]

I've got no problems with Julian Castro.

So can you tell me why I don't trust the dude?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i was just down there for fiesta and was at an event and castro was there. my first impression of him was that he's somewhat of a sleaze. the race that i think will be interesting is the city council seat of district 5 or 7. the one with elena and rodriquez. at the same event elena and rodriquez were both there. i had no idea they were running against each other. once i realized what the deal was i saw them shake each others hand and it felt pretty icy. then i read elena's brochure and saw everything she's saying about rodriquez and using against him.

[CosmicCowboy]

Castro is a cynical, elitist, Harvard lawyer wanna be politician that just want's to use the mayors office as a political stepping stone to bigger and better political jackpots. He will be wheeling and dealing for his own personal interests and to enrich his political base. He is NOT the "champion of the downtrodden" like he claims...he is just an elitist with a mexican surname...

[Smart Ass]

All politicians are out for their own good including the current mayor.

[JudynTX]

How would you rate our current mayor and what he's done during his tenure?

$12 million spent on the revitalization of Main Plaza......WTF? You can't tell me they spent that much on it, it looks like crap.

[CosmicCowboy]

ttt

Julian Castro sucks

[spurster]

I don't like Castro either, but "Trish" is a of the developers who want to trash the aquifer and Camp Bullis.
