Your links are more of the lies.

The first is a classic example of “lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Jones, a complete liberal quack published in a liberal Soros-funded rag, decided to make a wild guess about Dewhurst.

Note that he doesn’t call Dewhurst a moderate — he says he’s more moderate than the top 3 that Jones deems to be Conservatives.

Jones *guesses* that Dewhurst must be moderate — only in comparison to the top 3 Conservative Senate Republicans -— because of who casts votes that agree with the winning side on “Final Votes to Passage.

But get this: The way that your source measures “Liberal/Conservative” for the Senate is so skewed that Wentworth comes out in the top half/ middle third on Conservative Republicans. http://www.texastribune.org/texas-legislature/texas-legislature/guest-columnist-how-partisan-are-texas-state-senat/

If the man can’t tell that Wentworth is a RINO in spite of actual votes on the floor, he certainly can’t tell anything about Dewhurst who doesn’t cast votes.

That second story is one of the catalysts for my switch from Cruz to Dewhurst. The Cruz team spread what they knew were falsehoods from the beginning — and Breitbart.com was forced to sheepishly withdrawn the day after it was filed: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/02/24/update-dewhurst-campaign-says-podesta-group-meeting-was-no-fundraiser There was no fundraiser, Republican staffers of a PR firm hosted the meet and greet for Republicans, no Dems, in a building that is often used for similar events — with no Podesta in sight.
This sort of tactic makes me ashamed that I supported Cruz in the first place. That was why I sent money to Dewhurst and blogged on the race: http://www.texastribune.org/texas-legislature/texas-legislature/guest-columnist-how-partisan-are-texas-state-senat/

The third refers to Dick Army’s endorsement. Army is the one who said that Dewhurst relied on “daddy’s money.”
