My first vanity, but I thought this was funny.
My wife and I went to vote today. While looking at the race for Texas senator... I wanted to send a message. Unlike the other races, this one offered the possibility for a write in vote. Cornball was going to win without my vote, so I proudly wrote in Ted Cruz... It was a spur of the moment idea, but it seemed perfect.
As we walked back to the car, I mentioned to my wife that I had done a write-in vote. Before I could tell her who or what, she remarked... "Me too, I wrote in Ted Cruz for senator".
I like it!
Thanks for this idea. I live in a very heavily DemocRAT county due to the Indian reservations. Therefore, nobody runs as a Republican. Even Republicans run as DemocRATS. I think I’ll write in Ted Cruz in all of the “write in” spaces where no Republican is listed. LOL!
This is scary - my son, dil and I all voted yesterday afternoon and all wrote in Cruz’ name. They both knew I was not going to vote for Cornyn but I didn’t decide who to write in until I actually voted. I also wrote in other names for my Congressman, George P Bush for Land Commissioner and my state Senator and Rep.
Hope you voted against Prop 1. We do not need to be raiding the Rainy Day fund for anything, particularly money that we know will be diverted by some means to the Dallas-Houston train.
The Harris Country pct 4 commissioner Jack Cagel is a great man and a solid conservative. I don’t know if he will ever run for higher office, but he is another who is capable of Ted Cruz type behavior.
>> surely, there is more than one person capable of Ted Cruz type behavior in the Lone Star State
You would think so — and not just in Texas.
It’s frustrating that so few good candidates make it onto the ballot. Particularly for POTUS.
Good idea I’m going to copycat this.
You’re an IDIOT!! You just gave a vote for the DEmocrats!!! IDIOT....You think you are SO cute!! The ONLY message you sent was YES to the DEMOCRAT HARRY REID and OBAMA!!! IDIOT!!! This is WAR, buddy.....I sure wouldn’t want to be in a Foxhole with you at Battletime!!
Ted Cruz would call you all idiots also!! He would NOT be amused, I'm sure! He's a MAN...a THINKER...A PATRIOT!!! OMG!!!
Youre an IDIOT!! You just gave a vote for the DEmocrats!!!
I second Ann’s post! You are going to feel pretty stupid if Cornyn doesn’t win.
Ted Cruz would DISOWN THEM!!!! he would think they are too dumb to vote!
This is NOT the time for "cute" idiocy.
These people would send ISIS a “Chain Letter” instead of a BOMB!! I just can’t get over how many Freepers have lost their minds.
No, “ALL” Texans have not lost our minds. We voted straight Republican on Tuesday.
I hear you.
You could have voted for Spicybrown.
A groupie.
Can someone hold 2 Senate seats? Awesome idea.
