Former rep puts in his two cents against Cuellar

By Gary Martin, San Antonio Express-News, 06/25/05

WASHINGTON -- A Democratic battle in South Texas intensified this week when former Rep. Martin Frost of Dallas backed state Rep. Richard Raymond's likely challenge to Congressman Henry Cuellar in the 28th congressional district.

Frost endorsed Raymond in a letter to political loyalists, citing Cuellar's "astonishing record of betrayal" to the Democratic Party.

3. From the newspaper story

Cuellar has a long history of betraying his party, Frost said, citing the lawmaker's 2000 endorsement of Gov. George W. Bush over Vice President Al Gore, and Cuellar's appointment by Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, to serve as secretary of state.

Since his election, Cuellar rebuffed party leaders and voted to limit jury awards on class action lawsuits, voted with the GOP for the Real ID bill, and has joined the Bush administration in its push for the Central American Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA.

5. I love Richard Raymond

He'd make a damn fine Congressman. Cuellar is a DINO at best and a closet republican at heart. He should just move on over to the repuke side and maybe challenge Bonilla if he wants to stay in Congress.
