AUSTIN — Ted Cruz, the top appellate lawyer turned tea party favorite, shocked the political establishment Tuesday, grabbing the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate and virtually guaranteeing that he’ll be Texas’ first Hispanic senator.
Cruz handily defeated Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in a Republican runoff for the seat of U.S.

No doubt we will have to choose our battles.
Maybe we will get lucky and more RINO’s will retire
(Like That RINO HACK Congressman from Ohio)
So we could attack anyone who don’t support Cruz as racist. We have to learn from the Rino who believe in identity politics as much as the left
That is indeed all that matters!
Their boy Romney is first and foremost a political animal. If he sees the writing on the wall, he may not completely suck if he wins.
What’s an “Hispanic”? Isn’t that a made up word?
Cruz is certainly a citizen and has been one for more than long enough to be eligible to the Senate and the Supreme Court, but not the presidency - but then neither were McCain or Obama eligible to the presidency and that didn't bother the Republican or Democrat leadership. Neither are Rubio or Jindal, but If we want a conservative Hispanic President Suzanna Martinez is not the only possibility, but certainly one I'd vote for if she could get by the Rino block.
Perhaps Cruz will have the courage to cite and explain the common law and precedent next time his party decides its time to ignore the Constitution because its party's war horse feels entitled, in spite of the Constitution. Rinos did their best to block his candidacy. He might be inclined to nail the country club republicans with the truth that had they not supported the ineligible McCain, with major help from the Obama campaign committee, who sponsored two Senate bills, SB 2678 and SR 511 in Februrary and April 2008 respectively, to imply they had rectified McCain's ineligibility, they might have done their job and vetted Obama, born to an alien father and thus not a natural born citizen.

I think we should all start loudly correcting the libs in ‘real life’ on the net/TV, whatever. Just stop them mid sentence...
“Excuse me, he/she’s American. No hyphens, just ‘American’.
On one hand the lib could then say (to me) “Well you’re white and ‘privileged’ so you don’t get it.”
To which I would respond “Stop putting everyone in your ethnic boxes and we’ll ALL ‘get it’...together”
I am really, REALLY tired of the racial bullshit and it’s never going to end until we end it for them. Put the burden on the actual cause of the continued/increasing problems. It it wasn’r for the Sharptons, Jacksons and the media, (to say nothing of Zero) we’d pretty much ‘be there’ by now. But alas, there’s no money in racial or ‘American’ harmony.
That is wonderful news...uplifting to know that the Tea Party movement is alive and very well!!!
I actually don't think there would be any honest “change”, only a sly subservience until the tides were to change back to their despicable socialist/communist tendencies.
I couldn't trust their "change"....so, let's not give them any "chances".
Now, if we can just dump DemRINO Strauss as Tx Speaker we can get things done...
Yes, I’ve spent many weeks over the years staying with relatives in Dallas had the chance to peruse the Dallas Morning news every day. I was floored - - that thing is even worse, if that’s possible, than the Philadelphia Stinkquirer.
Yes, he was born an American citizen to parents who were American citizens and who happened to be working at the time in Alberta.
I say that constantly, because it is so important to remember. Winning elections is lovely, but the pernicious policies start next year, actually, soon with Taxmaggedon in December. It is always important to remember they did not come up with almost three thousand pages of “health care reform” overnight. They are always two chess moves ahead of us. Now will the new politicians stand boldly and be sure the American public knows exactly who implemented such terrible policies? BTW.. Thanks to all, it was great to wake up to a Ted Cruz victory. Now, we watch and pray.
Don't they mean he'll be Texas' first White Hispanic senator?
Another battle won in the war of conservative aggression.
