BROWNSVILLE, TX - Leaders of the loose-affiliated network of politiqueras stepped onto three rented vans here this morning for a one-day confab in South Padre Island aimed at framing their role in the remainder of the local political season. Among the activities was a seminar on the topic of face-up campaigning and image-building.
"We're thrown-in with people who take bribes and do work for candidates for cash, but it's not the case with all of us," said life-long politiquera Connie "Francis" Vela. "We try to get the press to look into our work, but reporters are stuck on the negative stereotype. Not much we can do about that, is there?"
Vela, leader of the Southmost cartel, and others in the group will also spend time preparing proposals for candidates still in the November general election hunt. Said Hortencia "La Mala" Deleon, of the Las Prietas network, "Someday we will get the credit we deserve. The only ones who thank us are candidates who get our aid and win. The people do not know that we often get stiffed by candidates when they lose, and there's no court that will listen to our complaints about that. So let's get over this holier-than-thou bullshit, okay? We provide a service; that's what we do."
The group planned to hole-up in rental property away from the beach.
"That's all we need - people seeing us as beach bunnies," added Paula "La Jalea" Salinas. "I wish I could take my bikini, but this is not about that. There will be time to party in December."

Please, please, please, I appeal to your good senses, NO POLITIQUERAS ON YOUR BLOG in bikinis.
That would an be insult to our intellegence.
Stick to your political statistical oddities of Tad Hasse and his lop sided lost race.
UUUGGHH!!! What a site to see, EEEWWW!!!!
Fandango is right, why the picture of the overweight female dancing with a weird look guy right by Tad H. picture??? He was embarrassed at the poles already.
We have no plans, although our Heisman Trophy-winning photographer - Joe Hermosillo - turned in a color shot of politiqueras rolling in cash. We'll see about that one....- Editor
My compliments to the staffer who suggested the "No a parado de llover" video, but isn't about time tht big fat guy with a saxophone is his mouth be removed. And please no lecturing as to how the road navigates. I am sure the editor means well. On second thoughts, is the blog trying to find him a job??? With so much unemployment, maybe another day on the blog can land him employment.
Well, you're on to us. That saxophone player is the father of our political writer, Juan Mo-Time, whose real last name is Montalvo, only don't tell anyone. Mo-Time, Juan tells us, is like J-Lo for Jennifer Lopez - a hip-hop stage name. We do hope his old man lands another gig, so he'll stay for now...- Editor
It would probably help if he got rid of the hat and sunglasses, and a clean shirt would do woners. I thought he was playing in la placita in Matamoros, my apologies to Juan Mo-Time. Let us know when he lands on another gig.
Geez, Louise, you're hard to please. That's a Mervyn's shirt Juan's old man is wearing. The shades come with the blues he loves to play, so...- Editor
Speaking about characters, who is the goofy looking man wearing a cap from the 50's and a white shirt with an odd looking tied? He appears to be lost and confused.
Goodness, gracious, where do your photographers find these characters?? Or could we say, it is the typical Brownsville crowd. Please, don't misunderstand me,I am not being critical. I just want to know.
Mssr., that is a government man sent to count the local citizenry as part of the 2010 Census. We're sure he'll soon come knocking on your door if you live in Brownsville. Don't lie to this hip cat...- Editor
