Former state Rep. Chávez apologizes

Former Democratic state Rep. Norma Chávez said Tuesday on Facebook that she apologized to former state Rep. Paul Moreno for getting involved in the campaign to oust him from the state House seat he held for 40 years.

Chávez helped state Rep. Marisa Marquez, D-El Paso, in her successful 2008 bid against Moreno for the Texas House District 77 seat. Moreno later joined then state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh in supporting now state Rep. Naomi Gonzalez's campaign to unseat Chávez.

Below is the post from Chávez's Facebook page 

"The greatest thing that happened yesterday, Halloween October 31, 2011 is that I had the chance to speak to Paul Moreno and apologize. Seeing him early in the evening at the L&J, I told him I was sorry that I helped Marisa Marquez in her race against him. I wrote all of her radio spots, TV scripts and rewrote or wrote 85% of her mail against him. And I was wrong. He deserved to go out the way he wanted to and he didn't get that opportunity. I had something to do with that. And low and behold, I didn't go out the way I wanted. A big boulder off my back now that I have done it, told him "I'm sorry". Two words....a blessing beyond comprehension!!"

Who gives a shite. Is Norma in burger town flipping fries for a living now?

[Christy]

Took guts to do. There is no benefit to her doing that the Morenos hate her.

[Norma's Radio Script]

Sure, Norma. As though the choice was between you and Paul. If that were the case Paul would have ran you over.

Are you sure Paul was even listening to you? Or did he confuse you for kitchen staff?

[Speaking Truth to Power]

While Norma's handing out apologies, she should apologize to:

Naomi Gonzalez
Eliot Shapleigh
Dora Oaxaca
Lily Ruiz
Alfredo Longoria
Marisa Marquez
Blanche Darley
Veronica Escobar
Susie Byrd
The Tiguas
The UFW
UT alumni
Frito the Bandido
Chico's Tacos
L&J's

Anyone who has the misfortune of having known Norma Chavez knows that she is not genuine. Why would she do this? She's probably interested in running for her seat again (or another) and doesn't want the Moreno family to help whoever she is opposing (as they did Naomi Gonzalez).

If she were truly genuine and simply wanted to make amends for the "blessing" of it, she wouldn't have broadcast it on Facebook in order to gain praise and accolades for doing what other human beings do every day.

[What an idiot]

To quote NC: "Two words....a blessing beyond comprehension!"

uh...that's four words.

[Miguel]

Idiot, "I'm sorry" - those are 2 words!

Everyone knows that "truth to power" is the trademark of Jaime Abeytia, but if you go to #3 a the bottom of this link, you can see that Mr. Abeytia is still wanted for failing to take care of his kid in Arizona: WARRANT for Abeytia for child suppor is here:

In fact Mr. "truth to power" Jaime Abeytia has been convicted of several things here in El Paso, his new claimed city:

Conviction:
for theft by check in El Paso,
theft of computer services in El Paso (public information)
and 12 charges in the state of Arizona

Before you open your mouth, you need to clean your own house. Your enemies are following your every move, and what goes around comes around carnal. You talk a lot of sheet, but your enemies are digging up your rap sheet!!

The way I see it, if numbers don't lie, I'm glad someone ousted Paul Moreno. It doesn't matter who it was or why they did it. The point is, he never really did anytging great for El Paso and we needed a change.

[G.Barrios]

I agree with Ontiveros; now both Moreno & Norma Chavez should spend time donating their time to many of the organizations that "wasted" their time & money to put them & keep them in office/for way too long. Serving El Paso, is not just being elected to toot your own horn...Give back former representatives and do something worthwhile with your lives instead of just planning on getting even.
