Lubbock Democrats at 4th on Broadway
Yesterday was a blast! I joined my fellow Lubbock Democrats in celebrating Independence Day the best way we know how — by talking about our candidates and registering people to vote.
The Republican Party had what I thought was an unintentionally funny float in the parade. Chris Winn was driving a big truck, pulling a faux oil barrel labeled “drill here / drill now,” and shouting “Energy Independence” to the crowd. I wonder if he understands that more drilling won’t lower the price of oil, or that the big truck he was driving is the real problem.
A Flickr set of photos from the 4th on Broadway festivities is available.

Chris Winn has become a “comical” figure in a short time as republican county chair. His idea of doing a parade float rather than looking at the “closed” government operation at Lubbock County(Gang of Four Republicans) reeks of “They’re republicans,That’s all that matters”. As a local political activist I will begin my campaigning for John Miller(D)to oust Bill McCay(R)as will Roger Settler shortly. I also am looking at a bonafide party switch at the first of the year(R)to(D)and may very well seek Democratic County Chairmanship and attempt to bring my 19% of the republican “conservative” vote over to the local democrats. The last few “women” in the Lubbock County Democratic Chair position are simply put “ineffective” as party builders and the democrat men deserve a choice between a man and woman for county chair.
