Help Plan the Chet Edwards Retirement Party by Voting for Van Taylor

A group of conservative bloggers have teamed up to support a collection of Republican candidates who would help the Republican Party maintain control of both chambers of Congress.  The group is called Rightroots and is helping raise money and support for a few selected candidates in important closely contested elections.  One of the candidates they support is Van Taylor who is running for the seat currently held by liberal Democrat Chet Edwards.

I am sure other districts have reasons why we need to support their candidate, but Texas needs to be rid of Chet Edwards, a liberal Democrat who continues to be a smudge on the very conservative area of Texas district 17.  TX-17 is home to Texas A&M University (very conservative), Fort Hood, Waco, and the Bryan/College Station area all of which are fairly conservative.  Mr. Edwards talks a great talk, but his walk is so very different from what he says.  This guy need to be retired from Congress and replaced by a good conservative like Van Taylor.

Taylor is a great guy, a Marine, a businessman, a family man, and a true conservative.  Van supports the Second Amendment, tightening the borders, lower taxes, smaller government, is pro-family and anti-abortion, and supports the GWOT.

Chet on the other hand tries to speak out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.  As an example, Chet has been highly critical of Taylor for moving from Dallas to central Texas in order to run in district 17.  Yet Edwards has moved at least three times in order to run for office.

“Edwards himself moved three times for attractive races: to College Station for his first congressional campaign, then to Duncanville [Dallas County] for a Waco-area state senate race and finally to Waco in 1989, when he won the seat he holds to this day” (Waco Tribune June 5, 2006).

Be sure to check out Fact Check Chet for more of our favorite liberal’s walk and speech patterns including how he votes and speaks on abortion, taxes, spending, and lawsuit reform.  This guy is all over the map.  Let’s retire Chet Edwards by supporting Van Taylor!
