A friend whose moderate Republican parents are torn between Bell and Strayhorn directed me to the insightful analysis of Dean Rindy on Strayhorn and the Governor's race (here <
http://www.political.com/analysis-arc/0615.html>). She specifically asked about this part of Rindy's analysis:
Carole Strayhorn's "image as an independent is much weaker than Perot’s, and it will be extremely easy to discredit her with Democratic voters. This is a woman whose announcement speech opened with the words, “I am a Republican,” and closed with “I love George Bush.” Her son, Scott, is Bush’s chief flack. Buried in news archives around Texas are rich troves of nasty quotes she has delivered about Democrats in very recent years. And she has an additional problem. Strayhorn cannot use this year’s most effective issue--the culture of corruption in the Republican machine, because she’s been part of it herself."
She wants to show her parents that Strayhorn is definitely not nonpartisan and is, to the contrary, a bit of a nasty partisan. Her question to me, which I could use y'all's help with, is:
What are some examples of the "rich troves of nasty quotes she has delivered about Democrats in very recent years"?
Any help would be appreciated.
