Joe's Random Ramblings

Over the times, I have gotten a couple of political spam mailings. It seems that some Republican spammer consultant in Texas must have sold my email address to all these gullible Republicans who run for office there.
They don't even check if the people they are sending their spam to are even living in Texas...

Anyway, I got another one of these turds from some obviously unqualified "lady" who is running for Texas Supreme Court. As a judge, she should know better than to send out spam.
And the mere fact that she sends her spam to people who don't live in her state makes her unqualified to run for the position she is running for.
If she "learned early on the value of hard work", as she says in her spam, it is obvious she has forgotten it already. Sending out spam shows that she nowadays prefers the less than honest ways.

The spam in all its glory (tracking etc. redacted):

Justice Rose Vela grew up in a military family listening to stories about Americans who gave their lives to defend our Constitution. Today, Americans are still losing their lives to protect a Constitution that promotes a judiciary that is independent, follows the law and that is not influenced by who judges know.

Today as never before, we need a strong conservative voice on the Texas Supreme Court ? the kind of voice that leaders like Justice Rose Vela has already provided as a tough-on-crime district judge and as the first Republican ever elected to the 13th Court of Appeals in South Texas.

Justice Rose Vela learned early on the value of hard work, working her way through college, and becoming a successful private attorney, district judge and Appeals Court Justice. She didn?t depend on political appointments to get where she is today. Instead she has a proven track record of beating Democrats in November, knocking out a 15-year Democratic incumbent with 53 percent of the vote in one of the most Democratic Appeals Courts in the state.

That win made Rose the FIRST AND ONLY REPUBLICAN EVER ELECTED to the 13th Court of Appeals and she did it in a big way. Now we need to elect Justice Rose Vela to the Texas Supreme Court in Place 9. She doesn?t believe in activist judges legislating from the bench and she wants to make sure the law works for the people of Texas. As a district judge, Justice Vela handed down tough sentences including the death penalty and life in prison to convicted felons; she handled complex civil matters, and she had the privilege of helping create new families by presiding over adoptions in what she sees as one of the most important roles of the judiciary in promoting family life. As an appeals court judge she helped reduce the backlog of cases on the 13th Court of Appeals and is a firm believer that Texans should have a quick and fair resolution to both their criminal and civil cases.

Justice Rose Vela can provide the kind of no-nonsense conservative leadership that is needed on the Texas Supreme Court. But she can?t do it without your help.

Update: I have since gotten two more spam emails from this clueless spammer.
She certainly isn't qualified to hold any public office, much less the office of a state Supreme Court judge.
