Hey, thanks for the credit!
“Folks, let me tell your right now that these results are no doubt making the GOP establishment elitists increasingly uncomfortable.”
And I sincerely hope you’re right about this!
Cornyn’s an amnesty pimp, and a go along to get along fraud.
That’s all.
Once again we see the noise out of Texas is all hat, no cattle.
In the end, they just vote lockstep.
Hope they like living in Mexico, cuz that’s what he and the Bush’s plan to turn it into.
The War on Ted Cruz will begin in earnest now. He’s not one of the frat boys, and he keeps causing trouble. So he’s gotta go!
We need to make an effort to turn the Tea Party to a more friendly platform so that that the public’s perception of them is that they have more than just gray haired members. We need younger members.
BS. I have always wondered why we are always near the brass ring; but never seemed to grasp it. I believe a lot more people voted for Stovall than they are admitting to. It’s obvious with the sort of interjection of Stockman.
Nice job of spinning, but... that’s what it is: SPIN
Conservatives had a real chance to take out powerful RINO, but, but NO reasonable candidate was willing to take up the challenge.
We’ve got problems with the bench.
Not surprising. Not many people with sense would WANT to get into politics these days.
I went for Stovall. Overall there were eight Senate candiddates in the RP prrimary—— too many.
There is nothing inexplicable about this, just the usual thug political culture in action. Either Stockman had some sort of item in his history that could be blown up out of proportion or he has some potential IRS problem with income or campaign donation use or he has a personal (or had it doesn't matter how long ago) problem or he has a a wife or close relative with a present or past problem that he doesn't want spread across the Dallas News and Ft Worth Star Telegrams front page or he was just bought off by being given a deal he couldn't refuse.
“We need to make an effort to turn the Tea Party to a more friendly platform”
Yes, sure, that will work. That puts the Tea Party on the same level as the RINOs.
Because "compassionate conservatism" turned out so well.
Cornyn won the senate by 943,000 votes in 2008. If the Rats can get only a small percentage of his 4,326,639 voters to stay home or vote third party, the Rats could have a slim win. How hard is that going to be when 40% of Republicans voted anyone but Cornyn? I don’t know if there’s a chance of that happening, but the Rats have to love how the GOP is turning off its base.
As someone posted a column by Glenn Harlan Reynolds yesterday showing gun control has been defeated in this country over and over, we see that persistent effort, over time, defeats the liberal agenda and saves our country.
“Once again we see the noise out of Texas is all hat, no cattle.”
And you, sir, don’t know what you’re talking about. Dewhurst, poster boy for the GOPe who lost to Sen. Cruz thanks to the TEA Party in Texas, is again on his way to losing to the TEA Party choice, Dan Patrick, in the May 27 run-off for Lt. Gov., the most powerful office in Texas government. Four other state-wide candidates backed by the TEA Party won as well.
When your state can say the same, some back and tell us about it.
“Conservatives had a real chance to take out powerful RINO”
Too bad only 10% of them voted. There lies the problem.
Did anyone notice how Breitbart got their new TX writer team to run a 360 degree firing squad aimed at Stockman?
I posted the same thing on another thread. There were simply too many candidates and all had a similar message.
