"Dos Pajaritos Cantando" It's Not How The Sausage is Made - El Paso Democrats!!

All kinds of sausage out there!

A political mentor once told me "it's not how the sausage is made, it's how good it tastes after, cause no one remembers how it is made when you eat it".  It is a take from the quote , "Laws are like sausages.  It's better not to see them being made", by Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) a German Prussian politician.


I have a colorful conversation bashing me on my Facebook page "The Norma Chavez Blog" about my last post where "dos pajaritos cantando" let the cat out of the bag on the talk about town (in Demo circles) of a smack-down take over of the El Paso Democratic Party by the Veronicun political faction and their new aligned political allies.


I want to remind people that when I started to blog I stated that "Dos Pajaritos Cantando" would be bout "political chisme" because I wanted to separate blog posts on real issues and political opinion.  So, be clear if I have "dos pajaritos cantando" in the title or beginning of my piece, it is CHISME! These quickie political chisme bloggies called "Dos Pajaritos Cantando" are intended to tell who is saying what to who and where in the "who done it" method of providing "chisme".  That is all.  Some "shock and awe" and some of it TRUE!!


This being said, the Texas Democratic Party is full of "pajaritos cantando" first the word on the street in Facebook posts and private FB message groups is that County Judge Veronican Escobar will be taking her entourage of voters that include State Representative Marisa Marquez, County Commissioner Anna Perez, former Senator Eliot Shapleigh, City Rep. Susie Byrd, former Mayor Ray Caballero, Senator Jose Rodriguez, (these are the actual names I have heard NOT confirmed). These are not folks taking the Democratic bus, they are flying on exotic airlines and via fancy shmancy land rover type vehicles to do exactly what? I don't know.  First time EVER (and I have been to conventions for the last 20 years) that I have EVER EVER, EVER, seen this political group at a Democratic Convention.


I've already mentioned the known or alleged candidates for our local Democratic Party positions but now is when the sausage is made (and sometimes it ain't pretty). Coalitions will be formed, aligned, and realigned, a vote taken and the cards will fall as they fall.  Clearly, something is going on if in fact this group is going to the convention.


Die hard loyal Democratic Party loyalists are going, as are members of the El Paso Young Democrats, El Paso Stonewall Democrats, Paso Del Norte Tejano Democrats, West Tejano Democrats, Black El Paso Democrats, West Side Democrats, East Side Democrats and independents will be heading on a bus, via private vehicles, and plane.  Who will have the winning coalition?  Will be interesting to see.


All these groups will be solidly united on one vote.  That is the vote of El Paso's own Michael "Keny" Apodaca as our Texas Democratic Party Treasurer.  This is really outstanding for El Paso to have a state Democratic Party officer on the board.  A bigger blog will be dedicated to Mike and his Democratic leadership roles.  Best to you, unless he gets an opponent at the last minute, his vote is pretty much an insider agreement by all.  That is a huge testament to Michael Apodaca!
