I can’t tell you how happy I am to see Harris County Republican Party Chair candidate Paul Simpson fighting back against the lie that Gary Polland spread in his Texas Conservative Review:
Paul Simpson letter to Gary Polland
You wrote in your Texas Conservative Review blog earlier this week about Annise Parker’s granting spousal benefits to City employees’ same-sex partners.
In that post, you claimed that “Paul Simpson, unbeknown to most Harris County Republicans, was quoted in the Washington Times blog in support of the Mayor’s illegal overreaching.”
You later changed one word to claim, “Paul Simpson, unbeknown to most Harris County Republicans, was referred to in the Washington Times blog in support of the Mayor’s illegal overreaching. ”
There was no basis – of any sort – for those claims. I was not quoted in the Washington Times. I also oppose Annise Parker’s outrageous acts that violate the will of the citizens of Houston. The claims you made are, simply, false.
Been a long time coming. It’s past time that we as Republicans in Harris County buck the status quo and stand up for what we know is right. Good for Paul Simpson for standing up to the bully.
As for Jared Woodfill’s response, crickets are chirping louder. C’mon Jared, money isn’t more important than your integrity.
Maybe Simpson should direct his ire at the Washington Times. They are the ones saying that Woodfill should be voted out and Simpson voted in because Woodfill is taking action against what Mayor Porker is doing.
I’m Tom Zakes and I approve this message.
Tom, if you read the Washington Times article you would notice that Paul Simpson is not mentioned once. The only time his name comes up is in a –comment– not in the article, made by Dave Welch.
The author of the article Dave Nalle never mentions Paul. Gary Polland is lying. Calling a comment on an article a reference is nothing short of a lie.
It is quite a stretch to re categorize a comment appended to an article into being a part of the article.
