Dewhurst Supporter (campaign?) Admits to Phony Tea Party Flyer (Exclusive)
The Briefing Room ^ | May 23, 2014 | AbaraXas

Dirty politics seems to be the name of the game in the Texas Lieutenant Governor race between David Dewhurst and Dan Patrick- from releasing confidential medical records to harassing and insulting push polling. One of the latest tricks in this campaign is a flyer received by Tea Party members all over the State touting Tea Party endorsements for David Dewhurst. The flyer was put out by a group called "The United Texas Tea Party". The catch? The United Texas Tea Party does not exist. No website, no registration, no Facebook page. At this point, Dewhurst supporters went from cheering the Tea Party endorsement to calling it a 'dirty trick by the Patrick campaign.'

I got to vote against Dewhurst today. It was good, but not as good as when I voted for Ted Cruz against the azzwipe Dewhurst. Even in Texas we have career criminal politicians, the good news is they can be voted out of office, eventually/S.

Dewhurst and McConnell should both become unemployed

Dewhurst can afford unemployment. Why he is still in this race is found in one word: power.

No one in the Tea Party would support the likes of Dewhurst.
