Both come across as totally fake. Tuffy with an assault rifle? James "Farmer" White on a tractor? Why don't they just tell it like it is. They both have suckled the mighty legislative teet and neither wants to be redistrictly weaned. Who's more conservative? Who cares! Who's gonna represent the citizens? I fear neither.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054567554927707479.post-3997125416073561912012-04-28T15:42:21.087-05:002012-04-28T15:42:21.087-05:00State Rep.

Mike "Tuffy" Hamilton Pushes Gambling but Tells Voters he is Against Just to Win HD19 Election in Hardin, Jasper, Polk, Newton and Tyler Counties<br />Mike Hamilton is lying to His Voters!<br />Hamilton is telling his voters that he is not for casinos but Hamilton turns around and tell the Newspapers that he is FOR Casinos and gambling and trying hard to pass a gambling bill [see below for quotes from Hamilton in newspapers]<br />A Vote for Mike "Tuffy" Hamilton is a vote for Casinos and Expanded Gambling in Texas.<br />A Vote for Hamilton is a vote for RINO Speaker Joe Straus to be able to pass a gambling bill that will bring millions to Joe Straus' Gambling business and cost the residents of Texas dearly.<br />This is one of the most important races in Texas because if Hamilton wins he will use his Chairman position to try to bring casinos and gambling into Texas.<br />We all need to vote AGAINST Mike Hamilton<br />Hamilton has been telling his conservative and Christian east Texas voters that he is not for casinos or expanded gambling in Texas. He knows that his voters do not want casinos or expanded gambling in Texas so Hamilton tells them what they want to hear. Hamilton tells them he is not for gambling.<br />Check out this article from a guy in Lumberton, TX in Hardin County. http://hardincountyconservatives.blogspot.com/2011/05/mike-hamilton-kills-gambling-bills.html This article says that Hamilton told his constituents that he is not for Casinos or gambling. Mike Hamilton even told them that he killed the gambling bill just for them, his constituents.<br />Mike Hamilton is 100% in favor of Casinos Gambling<br />He has been lying to his constituents in order to get votes. He is slick and only cares about the almighty dollar, not his voters.<br />Hamilton is the author of HJR 112 which would legalize casinos and expand gambling in Texas. Hamilton has also voted for casinos and expanded gambling in past legislative sessions.<br />Hamilton is an outspoken advocate for gambling and will keep trying to get it until it passes. Hamilton will tell his voters one thing but then turn around and do something else of a check from the gaming industry. Hamilton told his voters that he killed the bill for them but the truth is that Hamilton could not get the votes to pass the bill because most voters in Texas and even the Republican Party of Texas Platform are against Casinos and expanded gambling in Texas. The Governor also said he would veto it.<br />That is why Hamilton's gambling bill died. It died because it was not going to pass. It did not die because Hamilton cares about his voters.<br />Hamilton cannot be trusted!<br />read these quotes straight from the mouth of Mike Tuffy Hamilton himself<br />Hamilton told the Star-Telegram that he wants to be assured that the measure will muster 100 house votes before he tries to push it through his committee, but he said he is optimistic of getting the support. "I think we're really close," he said. http://www.star-telegram.com/2011/04/27/3032530/bill-in-texas-legislature-could.html<br />The Republican from Mauriceville, who chairs the committee, drafted a House joint resolution calling for a constitutional amendment. Hamilton said the bill would allow for construction of seven destination casinos, three Indian tribal reservation casinos and 13 dog and horse tracks. http://www.surebetracingnews.com/NEWS/TEXAS_Gaming_Akin_devil-04232011.htm<br />Casinos and Expanded Gambling are BAD for Texas<br />promises promises promises..... but no return on the investment.... just more crime and more families and lives ruined and money sucked out of homes. Did the Lottery for Education? NO! It is a tax on the poor. Governor Perry says gambling is not the way to build a solid economy in Texas. If gambling was the way to solve state financial problems then Nevada would be doing great, but Nevada has serious financial problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054567554927707479.post-31991895425979983402012-04-24T11:10:08.509-05:002012-04-24T11:10:08.509-05:00It probably has to do with the big push for expand...It probably has to do with the big push for expanded gambling in Texas like casinos. Perry is against it and Hamilton wrote the bill to try to expand gambling in Texas. Hamilton also does not have a high conservative rating like he did years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054567554927707479.post-26847324214384648072012-04-23T16:24:44.937-05:002012-04-23T16:24:44.937-05:00A few years ago when Mike Hamilton was running for...A few years ago when Mike Hamilton was running for re-election against one of the Democrat tort lawyers, I attended a fund raiser for him that was organized by the Jefferson County and Orange County Medical Societies. Guess who was the guest of honor? Rick Perry! Hamilton won, and later his vote in favor of passing tort reform was very important. So I find it odd that Perry has now decided to endorse White.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054567554927707479.post-42621974968265372302012-04-23T09:32:13.765-05:002012-04-23T09:32:13.765-05:00The reason Mike Hamilton is making this run IS to ...The reason Mike Hamilton is making this run IS to facilitate casino gambling in Texas- in this next session. Their last polling of the state House members came up with 92 votes- 8 short of what they need. Many of the matchups are to give them the chance to have a good change at getting the 8 additional votes they need. Lanf in San Antonio, Austin, and Irving is already laid out for this purpose, with Straus and his buddies looking to get wealthy off those tracts. This will be THE fight this time around, folks; rest assured of that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
