Martha Wong’s Red Tape

By Vince Leibowitz  on Sep 26, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections      


We all know Republican politicans are very, very fond of ‘red tape.’ But this is a new one:

See that big swath of what looks like red colored electrical tape? It is red tape, in fact, and it’s covering up the word, “Republican.”

“What? Martha Wong’s Switched Parties?” you ask?

No, silly. She’s just running from her party and running from her record.

Via BOR:

Remember Martha Wong’s record:

* Martha Wong voted to send last year’s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage out of committee and abstained on the vote on the floor, despite the fact that she represents Montrose, an area with a large GLBT population. Martha’s district was one of only a handful to vote against last year’s marriage amendment.

* Martha Wong voted to require abortion providers to tell women that abortion causes breast cancer, despite substantial scientific evidence to the contrary.

* Martha Wong voted for HB 2292, which cut hundreds of thousands of children off the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

* Martha Wong blocked funding for a stem cell research facility in Houston’s medical center.

Needless to say, she’s got a lot to run from. And, I guess she thinks covering up the word “Republican” on her signs will make it all better.

To quote the blog of the same name, Martha Wong is Wrong.
