Ted Cruz forces runoff against David Dewhurst in Texas Senate race
The Hill ^ | May 29, 2012 | Cameron Joseph

Posted on 05/29/2012 9:31:42 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz (R) has forced a runoff election with Texas Lieutenant Gov. David Dewhurst (R), a victory for the Tea Party candidate against a better-known and much better-funded foe.

Dewhurst led Cruz by 46 to 32 percent with 44 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert (R) was in third place with 13 percent of the vote.

Cruz entered the race with almost no name identification but a bevy of conservative star-makers rallied to his side to help him into a runoff against Dewhurst, the longtime front-runner. Among Cruz's endorsers include the deep-pocketed, fiscally conservative Club for Growth, which spent $2.5 million on his behalf and helped him raise $750,000 more, according to the group.

Then you have a problem bigger than I can imagine.

My inlaws are from Texas, and I’ve lived in Texas several times. I love that state, and you aren’t a very good representative of it.

In fact, you are an embarrassment of the great state of Texas.

I don’t remember anyone from Texas being a bigger a**hole than you.

So...there.

Have it removed if you want, but it’s the truth, and has been for many years.

Huh? You want post #27 removed that says

"Bet again. Born in Texas. Raised in Texas. Here in Texas.

That's the lamest attack I ever was involved with, if it was an attack, and I'm Air Force.

Do what you like. Stay out of our bidness.

And per doctrine, I'll neither confirm nor deny that I'm what you claim. But I'll bet it will get read out at my funeral as part of the honors list.

I asked that your post # 28 to wardaddy be removed.

Reread my post.

I just bet that word, and many other expletives, will be read at your funeral, and you will be proud of each and every one of them.

LOL!

I don't even think evil thoughts anymore. And the fine details of declining verbs that might involve dangling are far from my mind.

If that’s the case, then..........please.........figure out why you post such nasty things to people who didn’t harm you.

I expect so. My daughter has already arranged for loud patriotic music. Very loud music.

I hope it’s not soon.

If it’s that loud, I hope you will let us know so that we can be prepared.

I want to stand at attention, and enjoy the music with you.

Unfortunately, I can’t quote your nastiness. The mods did a terrific job deleting it, per my request.

But, to refresh your memory, someone called you a nasty name, you took it out on someone else, that someone else thought you couldn’t possibly be from Texas to respond as you did, and it escalated from there.

I hope you are okay.

Actually, on this thread, there have been posts removed, but most (any) aren't mine. I'm still here.

There seems to be a meme going around that I'm a nasty hateful person. And that is far from the truth of the matter. I generally mash the button on myself if I think I may have overstepped the line.

I will speak my mind, though, and some don't like that.

Soon is as good as later. I'll be prettier.

And at the last funeral I attended at the local National Cemetery, half of the the mourners hit the deck when the 7 rifles went off on the cliff above the site.

We ain't quite right, but we're the guys that do it.

Actually, there was one by Kellis91789 that was removed, and rightfully so.

I believe the rest of the removed posts are yours.

Why wouldn’t you still be here?

I like for people to “speak their mind”, but maybe you should learn some tact?

That would be helpful, and would cut down on the removed posts.

I suspect you will be pretty whenever it happens. ;o)

“We ain’t quite right, but we’re the guys that do it.”

I know you are...I’m married to one of you.

I want my husband to have some kind of gun salute. He deserves it. I just hope they warn me so that I don’t jump out of my skin. lol
