She wisely stayed out, but I heard her, more than once, complain that the proper processes were not followed.<BR/><BR/>Her lifelong career as an edcator, and her service in the Senate, are an example of public service in the best sense of the word.<BR/><BR/>But I heard late today, that the Gibson forces are out there making promises.<BR/><BR/>This might get dirty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165107276211023252006-12-02T19:54:00.000-05:002006-12-02T19:54:00.000-05:00fed up. You don't make any sense. First, Billie Breaux is a state senator who ALWAYS listens to her consitutes. Second, GOP quality canididates doesn't compute. And third, you just don't know Jean Breaux. You see, you just don't know what your talking about, do you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165104341487284842006-12-02T19:05:00.000-05:002006-12-02T19:05:00.000-05:00I'm sick of the democrat clowns picking our leaders...we must come out in 2008 with quality candidates to run against these propped up leaders.<BR/><BR/>Billie Beaux never spoke up about the carson bar fiasco, despite her constitutes complaining to her. Her daughter will be in the same predicament, do whatever the Ghetto Mafia instructs you to do, which is usually "keep your mouth shut and stay out of it".<BR/><BR/>Our leaders must be picked by the people, not Carson, Monroe or any other imcompetent idiots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165099692166049502006-12-02T17:48:00.000-05:002006-12-02T17:48:00.000-05:00The very definition of irony: Ron Gibson having to be pushed to vote for the HRO, and not showign up at gay events.<BR/><BR/>He's got the backing of Sweet Pea Shake Gray in his legal difficulties. My sources tell me no elected official is venturing into this Senate caucus battle until Carson makes her feelings known...which she will do, trust me. <BR/><BR/>She lets the drama build and then puts out the word.<BR/><BR/>I'd be stunned if it was for Gibson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165092283182057002006-12-02T15:44:00.000-05:002006-12-02T15:44:00.000-05:00Jean has been working hard to succeed her mother as my state senator. She's made it a point to meet and know the precinct people. She and Billie have been to events and fundraisers all over the district, including at our home. <BR/><BR/>Jean would be a good Senator and would pay attention to her constituents. When's the last time any of us saw Ron Gibson at any neighborhood events? or saw him actively engaged in the Democrat clubs? or even acted like he knows where the 34th Senate District is? <BR/><BR/>Jean and Billie were also at the Lambda Legal dinner this fall (along with a number of other politicians) but Mr Gibson was not. My state senator has to speak up against discrimination, bigotry and bullying. Would Ron?LPerduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628362664340328791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165080303882804902006-12-02T12:25:00.000-05:002006-12-02T12:25:00.000-05:00RiShawn, thanks for that correction. I should add, with respect to GLBT issues, Jean is supportive. I met her at an IE fundraiser last year at Scott Keller's home where she introduced herself to members of the GLBT community.Gary R.

Breaux won the seat in 1990, but lost the backing of committeemen for the seat to Trotter two years later. Breaux later won the primary in one of the closest and nastiest races that year by just 258 votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165077788282906532006-12-02T11:43:00.000-05:002006-12-02T11:43:00.000-05:00I believe in redemption. Ron deserves the chance to redeem himself.<BR/><BR/>But his holier-than-thou attitude about the Drunk arrest, is troubling. That, and his late-arriving vote for the HRO. Which, we all know, was after Julia's pressure and some strong inferrences that he, uh, should support it.<BR/><BR/>I'm one committeeman who won't support him for anything now. His behavior in the last year has not warranted it, frankly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1165077373446245322006-12-02T11:36:00.000-05:002006-12-02T11:36:00.000-05:00Jean will be a excellent Sentator. She should and will win. I.m very pleased for her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
