Cruz vs. Dewhurst
Texas election | 7/2912

Posted on 07/29/2012 7:57:33 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Initially I was a Cruz supporter, but as the campaign rolled on and I found out that Cruz is a trial lawyer, I was skeptical, but I still supported Cruz, because he said the right things.

Still, though, saying the right things cannot hide your initial background, a trial lawyer=community activist.

As in all elections, the choice is the lesser of two evils, and a businessman is a lesser evil than a trial lawyer.

Your smarmy, unprincipled Rino’s gonna lose come Tuesday so give it up.

A question, which is better, a smarmy lawyer, or a smarmy businessman.

My answer the smarmy businessman, at least he/she creates wealth, while the lawyer sucks the life out of wealth.

“haven’t even done any volunteer work or given a contribution.”

Oh, a fence sitting “moderate” then.

I would vote against Dewhurst just for his ridiculous attack ads.

After Dewhurst loses, with his nasty campaign, and the threats he's made to other Republicans, will be very much weakened, and vulnerable in the next Lt. Gov. election.

I intend to work HARD to get him out of Austin.

Some of us “smarmy lawyers” are also businessmen. We also do nothing without clients and many of us protect wealth more than “suck the life out of wealth”

An esoteric note, Cruz has a very whiny voice. ,p. I know, that will be considered unfair.

Dewhurst is a stutterer.

Your point is...?

I voted for Cruz because I'll choose a conservative over a moderate "establishment" every time!

Dewhurst has certainly opened up a lot of eyes to what he really is. Next statewide elections, we need to remove him from Austin.

I can’t admire elDewhust for campaigning the way he is. Making himself look very small.

I was in the Houston area for business this past Wed-Fri. Had to do 6 hours of driving from Houston to South Texas Project and back.

In the car, I heard LOTS of Cruz-Dewhurst ads (while driving on a state road with a posted speed limit of 75 mph!). Each one was trying to explain how conservative they were. Heaven.

I got back to Connecticut and the first ad I saw was a guy running for the House explaining how he was proud to be a liberal (even said “That’s right, I’m a liberal!”).

Who ever loses, could you send them up to Connecticut?

Well the biggest GOP "pansified" conservative radio talk show host, Mark Davis, thinks Rachael Maddow is "intelligent" and he is supporting, Cruz.

Rachel Maddow is "intelligent" and has the educational records to show for it.

That doesn't mean I like, watch or agree with her! It's just a fact...she is intelligent!

And I voted for Cruz.

IMO, Dewhurst would be just another what we gripe about that we need to get rid of in Congress. Why put another in office?

Dewhurst would be another John McCain...and one of him is toooo much! Dewhurst would be constantly "reaching across the aisle!"

I’ve seen enough of Dewhurst over the past dozen years that he won’t be getting any votes here. How he sleeps at night over his lying ads is enough to send even the most unaware voter running to Cruz. All the votes in this house have gone to Cruz.

What’s your point? I was correcting you. Anyone w/ 1/2 a brain supports Cruz.

Michael Berry is a conservative radio host in Houston and is a BIG Cruz supporter.

I have to thank you for this thread. It inspired me to start working to boot Dewhurst from Austin in 2014. Time to start building an organization....
