Here you have it from a sitting Democrat judge here in Houston, Judge Robert Hinojosa of the 312nd Family Court here in Houston.

Faced with an opponent currently deployed to Iraq with the 72nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the Texas National Guard, Judge Hinojosa had this to say.

“I would never attack anyone, certainly not my opponent, for being patriotic, for serving his country,” Hinojosa said. “The difference is David is very much of the military mind-set. I think he really is a military person, and that's where he really wants to be. That's where his heart is, much more than doing these cases here.”

His opponent, David Farr, served with distinction as a District Court and Family Court judge in Harris County for six years before the Obama tidal wave swept most of the GOP judges on the ballot out of office in 2008. For Hinojosa to call into question the commitment of a distinguished jurist because he is also a currently serving member of the National Guard is disgraceful -- in addition to demonstrating Hinojosa's dishonesty and insincerity in his claim that he would not attack Farr for his service to our country.

Especially since Hinojosa had no problem supporting a serving National Guard member, Rick Noriega, when he was the Democrat candidate for US Senate in 2008.

I'd like to go on record now as giving David Farr my endorsement in his race for the 312th Family Court. There is no campaign website for Farr, but he is a milblogger, chronicling his experiences in Iraq, so I encourage you to give the man some traffic..
