The contrast between the Democratic Nominee (Cole Ballweg) and the Tea Party Republican who defeated Diane Patrick in the Republican Primary (Tony D. Tinderholt) is distinct. Balleweg has founded and operated a successful business and Tinderholt(R) who defeated Diane Patrick in the Republican Primary for Texas House District 94, is a retired military man who has an incredible depth of experience in both marriage and divorce.
Mr. Tinderholt probably holds the record this year for the “Family Values” candidate who has divorced (or been divorced by) most wives! In a society where divorce is common, Mr. Tinderholt has carried it far beyond the norm. For a candidate who much of his campaign message is been based upon family values, and whose pro-life ideologue and membership in the Catholic Church and St. Vincent de Paul Society is highlighted on his website and in his campaign literature, the number of marriage and divorces seems excessive.
