The Democratic candidate for Texas state comptroller, a hapless fellow with "$0 in campaign money," has gotten a little attention for attacking a 1990 romance novel written by his opponent, Republican Susan Combs. Calling "The Perfect Match" pornographic and posting excerpts on his campaign website, Head has
earned the wrath of thousands of romance authors and their fans.
"I told him I was a Texan, a Christian, a voter, a grandmother and I have written 46 novels," said Houston romance writer Patricia Kay. "I said, 'You are not going to get my vote.' The truth is," added Kay, 69, "I probably would have voted for him because I'm a registered Democrat."
Another author asked:
"Is a written depiction of two adults falling in love and expressing that love physically pornographic? I have always felt that my books promoted conservative, family values like love, fidelity and marriage."
Wow -- so, if the people get married before they consumate their passion, they're natural Republicans? Makes you wonder just how many people fit that description.
