Screw the Democrats, Vote Kinky

Dear Editor,
    I was disappointed, but not surprised to see the Chronicle supporting Chris Bell for governor [“Endorsements,” Oct. 20].
    We, the progressives of Texas have been ... how shall I say it? Screwed. Screwed by politicians posing as populists. Screwed by Democrats who are as corrupt as any Republican could ever be. Screwed by a political system that disavows input from anyone but Tweedledee and Tweedledum, left and right, yin and yang.
    You claim, like others, that Kinky is a "joke" candidate. Yet, his political reform plan is brilliant, well thought out, and has nothing but good to bring to Texas. He also wants to bring us a quality health care system, decriminalize marijuana, and aggressively pursue a renewable energy plan.
    Let's open Texas politics to the common man, provide for our citizens, and look to the future. Screw the Dems. It's time to give them a taste of their own medicine! I, for one, am tired of forcing down this bitter pill of a "lesser evil."
