[Shallah Kali]

I hope moderates and liberals won't sit out elections lest people like this get on state courts to foul things up for years to come....

A few weeks ago, we noted http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-green-touts-support-right-wing-doctor-who-believes-all-disease-caused-sin how Texas Supreme Court hopeful Rick Green was touting the support of local ultra-right-wing activist Steve Hotze, the man who was behind the anti-gay mailings http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/huckabee-supporter-behind-anti-gay-attacks-texas targeting Houston mayoral candidate Annise Parker last year and believes, among other things, that "medical problems are frequently caused by personal sin."

Now, as the date of the run-off election approaches, Hotze has sent out an email http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/04/rick-green-looks-to-christian.html touting his support of Green:

Now Steven Hotze, a Houston Christian arch-conservative, is sending out endorsements for Green. Hotze made news late last year for sponsoring mailers urging Houston voters to reject now-Mayor Anise Parker because she was endorsed by a gay and lesbian caucus.

As President of the Conservative Republicans of Texas, Hotze said he likes Green's clear-cut conservative stands. "Unlike most judicial candidates, we do not have to guess about Rick's philosophy or convictions," Hotze wrote.
