From the small town of Carrollton, Texas, comes a small town, Republican, political story of public service and loss. You know, it does irritate me when Godless Unsaved Trash of the lazy Demoncrat press, in their eagerness spit in the face of God and worship Mammon, decide to publish stories like this one:
…And quite right, Mayor Miller! The fact that she lost the election is neither here nor there.
But, I hear you say, “Is this not the same as Ms Hitlery Rodham-Clinton’s ludicrous, lying claim to have ‘landed under sniper fire’, or Hussein Obama’s claim to be a Baptist rather than a fanatical jihadist, which were selfishly designed to impress the American people and enhance their support?”
“Well, I am disgusted and repelled by your thought processes; Republicans do not do this sort of thing!” Is all I can add.
Let us just examine those calumnies:
No, there’s been a lack of research here resulting in sorrow all round but fortunately the new mayor Ronald F. (Ron) Branson (Metrocrest Republican Club & Denton County Pachyderm Club) is equally Republican. A sign that God is Merciful and Forgiving and favors GOP.
Texas mayor's colorful past called into question
The mayor of this Dallas suburb has long talked about her colorful background, saying she used to sing backup for Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and other famous musicians. Her campaign Web site lists less glamorous credentials, including a stint at Western Kentucky University.
Officials say Mayor Becky Miller has talked of once being engaged to singer Don Henley, and of a brother who died in Vietnam.
All those details have one thing in common: Family members, representatives of the musicians and school officials have told The Dallas Morning News that they're untrue.
Miller, who became Carrollton's first woman mayor in 2005, says she never made some of the claims and attributed other discrepancies to dirty politics by challenger Ron Branson.
"I get angry when people get into my personal life," Miller told the newspaper for a story in its Wednesday editions. "My personal life does not have a thing to do with my job as mayor or being elected on the City Council for 10 years."
Branson said Miller's claims are false and reflect poorly on Carrollton, a suburb of about 116,000 just northwest of Dallas. "I really don't think our city and our council wants somebody they can't trust what they say representing them," he said.
Branson said he is most upset by Miller's claim that she had a brother who died in war. Miller's father, Edward Sampson, told the newspaper that his son is alive and never served in the military.
Miller first suggested her 80-year-old father didn't get his facts right and said he suffers from Alzheimer's disease. She later said the man who died was not her biological brother but a "blood brother" was as close to her as a real one. She declined to give his name.
Three former Carrollton council members and one current member said Miller told them she was once engaged to Henley. Larry Solters, a spokesman for Henley and the Eagles, said the musician has "never heard of her, doesn't know her, certainly was never engaged to her."
In an e-mail to the newspaper, Miller wrote: "I have never said that I was engaged to Don Henley. I dated him."
Spokesmen for Browne and Ronstadt said Miller never sang backup for them. Neither Miller's first husband nor her father recalled a professional singing career.
Miller told the newspaper she went by several other names, including the nickname "Pinky." She declined to say what those other names were.
"I'm not going to tell you what they are," Miller said. "You have to find that out."
Miller's contention that she attended Western Kentucky remained on her Web site Wednesday. She told the newspaper she attended for two months in 1968. Laura Dilliha, a student records specialist at the school, said there's no record of Miller having been there.
Miller said these questions are coming up just days before the election because Branson is desperate.
"He thinks ... this is the only way he can win this election," Miller said. "That infuriates me."

Let us just examine those calumnies:
- The dead soldier brother: I call the male members of Landover, “Brother”. So what is strange about Mayor Miller calling a member of her electorate, “Brother” and a Godless reporter not capitalizing it?
- Went out with The Eagles Don Henley? Why not? She’s a fine looking woman. Do you honestly believe that the drug-addled mind of some 70s rocker is more reliable than that of a Godly Christian woman? Can you believe that some 80 year old with Alzheimer’s has perfect recall? No, I thought not!
- Attendance at Western Kentucky University? Have you any idea how bad University record keeping is? Thousands of students, hundreds of years, temporary clerical staff – it’s a wonder anything at all can be found, much less relied upon.
No, there’s been a lack of research here resulting in sorrow all round but fortunately the new mayor Ronald F. (Ron) Branson (Metrocrest Republican Club & Denton County Pachyderm Club) is equally Republican. A sign that God is Merciful and Forgiving and favors GOP.
