Conservative views reign at congressional forum
By John W. Gonzalez : January 16, 2014

SAN ANTONIO — Two of the three GOP candidates for Congressional District 23 faced off before a tea party audience on Thursday and drew cheers as they pledged to attack the nation's budget problems and reduce illegal immigration.

Physician Robert Lowry and former CIA agent Will Hurd largely agreed on goals including abolishing the IRS, revamping the tax code and eliminating the Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare.

The third contender, Francisco “Quico” Canseco, the sprawling district's former representative, wasn't part of the discussion. He canceled his appearance, citing a pressing family matter that “trumps politics,” according to a statement he sent to event organizers.

Co-hosted by the San Antonio Tea Party, Alamo City Republican Women and the Republican Men's Club of Bexar County, the event at San Antonio Firefighters Banquet Hall drew about 200 people, including numerous down-ballot candidates, GOP loyalists and tea party activists.

1. Okay, this may sound mean

But every time I see someone wearing tea bags like a patch, I just have a craving to ask if they'd been tea bagged lately. It'd really get to those homophobic bastards especially.
