What a Pretty Dress, Congressman Walls!

Crossdressing Heats Up Republican Race

     DALLAS (Reuters).—What started as a dull runoff race to field a Republican candidate for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives has heated up due to a controversy over crossdressing.

     The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on Tuesday photographs of candidate Sam Walls dressed in women’s clothes have circulated among political leaders in Johnson County, south of Fort Worth. Local Republican leaders confirmed separately that they had seen the photographs of Walls in a wig, dress, and high heels.

     Walls, who has the endorsement of several leading Republicans in the state and was expected to win the run-off, was not available for comment. He said in comments printed in the Star-Telegram that he will not drop out of the race due to a campaign of blackmail.

     Through intermediaries, my opponent told me to drop out of the campaign or the private information would be released,” Walls told the paper. “Now my opponent is using the information in an attempt to intimate that I am a homosexual, which I am not.”

     Walls, 64, who describes himself as a fervent Baptist, told the paper his family had “dealt with” the issue of his crossdressing and that he asked for forgiveness.

     The opponent in question is Rob Orr and his campaign officials said they have not distributed the photos. Jeff Judd, the county chairman of the Republican party, said it was too late for Walls to drop out of the April 13 runoff. “It would have been much better judgment for him not to have run,” he said.

I saw the picture of (her) in a blue dress and what appeared to be silver/gray hair. She looked very distinguished! As for the comment about asking for forgiveness - personally (she) could have gone with out saying that. The up side is that it may hopefully give us some good press and make some people take a look at what our actual make-up (psychologically) is - we can only hope!

Hi Y'all,

Just what is she appologizing for? Once more, it sounds like people are judging a persons character and abilities by what he/she wears. I guess this will finally end but probably not in my lifetime. I guess I'll just put my nightie on and go to bed!

Hi Josey,

I think he apologized because he wants to win an election. He probably already knows it's nothing to apologize about.

I think?

From my little knowledge of reading form these it sounds to me like it was something in his past and like a good (Baptist) he old his family and asked for forginess relizing that it was wrong.

This disgusts me. (how you ask?)

Well though I feel that people should not have to (for cding at least) ask for forgiveness as there is nothing truly wrong with it in opinion.

The reaction from his party leaders speak louder than anything I could ever say!

Still, you gotta feel for the guy, having to apologize for who he is . . . this says a lot about our soceity and in particular, the [self censored].

Have a great day!
