Chet Edwards Early B-day surprise

The Young Conservatives of Texas at A&M present Chet Edwards with an early birthday present. Oct. 13, 2008. For more information about YCT @ TAMU visit http://yct.tamu.edu. "YCT supports and campaigns for conservatives candidates but is independent of all candidate campaigns."

The Young Conservatives of Texas at Texas A&M University decided to celebrate Congressman Chet Edwards birthday a little early this year by presenting him with a cake picturing him and his soulmate in the Senate, Nancy Pelosi. According to the Washington Post, Chet has voted 96% of the time with Pelosi this past session. District 17 is vastly different than Pelosi's home District in San Francisco; why would an "independent conservative" or even a "moderate Democrat" vote with Nacy Pelosi and the Democrats 96% of the time. It is the belief of YCT @ TAMU and conservative Aggies that Edwards is misrepresenting his record to his constituents and attention needs to be drawn to this fact. If Edwards is going to go to extraordinary lengths to hide his record, then YCT @ TAMU decided to use more creative ways to draw attention to this deception. Hopefully Chet Edwards will remember this cake and District 17 more than the Democratic Party next time he votes. The Young Conservatives of Texas at Texas A&M University supports and campaigns for conservative candidates but is independent of all candidate campaigns.

I find it ironic the use of the Beatles at the beginning of this...

Ah, silly conservative Aggies.

The YCT is the worst organization on campus and is by far a huge embarrassment to our great University. The Anti-Obama rally on CNN's front page is exactly what our school needed. Geez, there are better ways to make political statements without making an ass of yourselves. Just like the "Straight Parade" a couple of years ago.

I was there for this, just off camera to the right. It was completely tasteless, even worse than it looks in the video. I'm voting against Chet, but this is just a silly distraction during a candidate event, and a big turn-off to independent voters.

CAKE IN THE FACE

Its kind of amazing this guy is a Democrat and has districts like College Station, Waco, and Crawford all conservative. This guy is what you call a conservative Democrat and I could understand not voting for a health care bill because it would endanger his political future. I think the huge reason he gets elected obviously he still is a conservative on many issues but going to A&M did help him a lot.

You young Republican You...LOL

Couldn't have said it any better.

Haha.. that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! You couldn't pay me to vote for Chet Edwards, I dislike his politics as much as the next guy. I'm not ashamed to say that I will be voting for Rob Curnock on November 4th. Seeing as how I am not catholic, I couldn't care less who the pope is. and I didn't "slap," anything together my friend. I didn't have anything to do with the Lunch. Why must people make wild inferences. Never assume. Didn't you learn that. You don't know me.

YCT had support of the other candidates there, oops except the liberal ones such as Chet. Sounds like someone got their feelings hurt. What would have been a better time to approach him, let me guess, not during one of the events YOU helped slap together. lighten up Chet is just another guy, and as much as you wish he where, he's not the pope.

Although I disagree with Congressman Edwards 96% of the time, the "Meet the Candidates Lunch" was not the proper venue for you to demonstrate your obvious love for Congressman Edwards. I think that this showing did your group a disservice and was quite frankly, embarrassing to the University and thwarted the good intentions and hard work that so many Aggies put in the event. I think you all should apologize not only to Congressman Edwards, but each and every candidate and person there.
