A Little Instant Karma for Greg Abbott
Even with the current state of the mainstream media, once in a while, the truth about corruption sees the light of day.
Tonight, WFAA in Dallas is due to report that Greg Abbott has been busted using state employees and state equipment on state time to produce campaign ads. You can watch it at Can O Fun
David Van Os, when contacted by WFAA commented: "I did not know of this specifically. But I'm not surprised. It is representative of the way Greg Abbott has used the Attorney General's office for four years, to promote himself. It was only a matter of time before he got busted."
I don't think anyone is surprised that Abbot has committed this violation. But I'm extremely surprised that the media is reporting on it. This came about that way - the karma of truth caught up with Abbott without any attempted control or manipulation of news on the part of anyone connected with the David Van Os campaign.
A Dallas friend reports: "They showed his campaign ad, and talked about the money he spent. They have archival footage of Abbott in 2003 saying that the videotapes are important. They said you can go to his political website where all of his videos were shot using taxpayers money... they were very clear, kept saying "YOUR money" etc. Gloria Campos reported "David Van Os is not surprised at Abbott's use of the taxpayers money, and that it is representative of Abbott's last four years in office."
So let's remember what David's campaign is about. He is seeking a new purity in our political process. A new morality if you will. Trust the people, tell the truth, and trust in the power of truth to spread itself.
On November 8, we will have something new, an Attorney General Elect we can be proud of. One who will work for the people, replacing an Attorney General who used his office as a means of promoting himself.
