The SA Lightning is on the attack. Editor R.G. Griffing of the ultra conservative internet newspaper is alleging that retiring Republican District Judge John Specia's presence at the recent Peter Sakai fundraiser at Spurs player Brent Barry's house in September is a violation of judicial ethics.
His headline reads:

Was It An Endorsement?
Candidate Sakai Denies Ethics Violations With Sitting Judge Specia At Fund Raiser DETAILS FRIDAY - ONLY IN THE LIGHTNING!

He also posted this headline linking it to the South Texas Republican weekly internet newsletter:

'RINO' PLASTY - REPLAY
Specia Campaigns AGAINST Barnard; Endorses Sakai?Joe Solis, South Texas Republicans, Commentary

The South Texas Republican newsletter posted a link to BCDPNews and Republicans are reading our postings. The good news is that they are reading our postings. The bad news is they are atacking our judicial candidate.

BCDPNews will keep you posted on the developing story. We welcome all Republicans to read our news about our candidates. We welcome their vote and their support.

As a side note: there were lots of Republicans attending the Peter Sakai fundraiser. We will not out them.

Update: (Friday, 2 p.m.)

SA Lightning is reporting that Bexar County Republican Chairman Richard Langois blasted Judge Specia, calling his attendance and speech at the fundraiser "unacceptable." Langois says Specia has done little within his own party. Calls to Judge Specia remain unanswered.

Editor's note: Republicans attacking Republicans, how quaint .Again we encourage more Republicans to attend our events and read about it in the BCDPNews. We have nothing to hide! We welcome them all. We do not discriminate.
