“Texans do not need anyone from out of state to tell them which conservative can best represent Texas. I would be more confident of taht if you didn’t have already have Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn as senators.”
Interesting you should bring that up. Texas is subject to the seventeenth amendment and same campaign finance laws that give an incumbent so many advantages that re-election is almost guaranteed despite how they vote after promising one thing to get elected and delivering something else entirely.
Hutchison and Cornyn were born and raised speaking liberalese, and taught as Univerity of Texas and St. Mary’s Lawyers to take either side of an issue and debate either side convincingly, and learned to speak conservatism well enough to get themselves elected the first time, which is about all it takes to stay in office.
I predict young Harvard Lawyer Cruz will follow the exact same pattern if he is elected.
I remember when KBH ran, and everyone pretty much had her number even before she was elected.
I did read your rebuttal of some of Cruz’ (or his PAC’s) ads, and I find them convincing. I also find the rebuttals to Dewhurst’s attacks on Cruz convincing.
I live in Illinois, the state where the establishment chased out our exceptional Senator Peter Fitzgerald, clearing the seat for Obama, and more recently, our most conservative Rep. Don Manzullo, to make way for a collar county establishment type.
We NEED states like Texas and Montana and South Carolina and Alaska to give better than they have been. I am sure that Dewhurst would be better than anyone in Illinois (save maybe Walsh), but for those of us watching on the outside, a Palin endorsement is a pretty good indicator of the movement conservatve candidate (save for those times when there are no great viable candidates, and she picks the girl [e.g. Carly Fiorina]).
Lisa pro-abort "moderate Murkowski!!! John Cornyn: he'll send the campaign cash to the squishball "moderates" and children of privilege!!! LAMAR!!! Alexander and Bob Corker: will make the world safe for investment bankers and to hell with the peasants! Etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum ad nauseam. No need for Dewhurst to do other than retire in favor of an actual conservative as LG and to go away! Dewhurst is favored by George Herbert Walker "New World Order" Bush, Barbara Planned Barrenhood Bush and such. No more sensible argument is needed to defeat Dewhurst. If he was not a thoroughly untrustworthy "moderate" elitist, those two would not touch him with someone else's ten foot pole. Money, money, money. Always, money. No thanks.
No more compromises. No more sellouts. No more tolerance of "moderates." Defeat them in battle. Drive them before us. Spill their entrails upon the earth. Listen to the sweet music of the lamentations of their women. This is the best of life!
Oh, and Cruz attending Harvard Law is a problem? I take it that Yale Law would be the same problem? Where did Robert Bork teach constitutional law? Where did Antonin Scalia attend law school? Clarence Thomas? Samuel Alito? John Roberts and even Sandra Day O'Kennedy? In spite of it aqll, with the occasional exception of O'Kennedy, they have done alright compared to David "Swish" Souter, Sandra Day (She was a pretty blond pro-abort and a product of James Baker's lies to Reagan) O'Connor, John Paul (abortionist) Stevens, Lewis pro-abort Powell and Herod himself Blackmun, each a product of elitist GOP treachery, and they are not the only ones. Some of us actually believe in conservative principles and have had quite enough of the GOP-Elite.
Rule or ruin.
You have a problem with the direct election of US senators by their constituents???? I realize that the rich guys could just directly bribe their way to the Senate by buying state legislators’ votes, cash American, under the table, like in the 1800s. It is just a shame the way the peasants just mess things up by having a vote in actual primaries and elections, isn’t it? What is a spoiled rich brat to do to avoid their infernal meddling???
