Senator Patrick had a few choice words when Dewhurst killed the TSA Anti-Groping Bill in the regular session in this article:

“Apparently, for political reasons… he came up with this elaborate political play to kill the bill without his fingerprints,” Patrick said, speaking to the drama over the anti-airport pat downs bill that failed yesterday.

When asked about how would affect his relationship with Dewhurst, he paused for a while before answering the question.

“I have to ask myself,” Patrick said, before trailing off again.

After another pause of several seconds — seemingly to consider his words — Patrick said, “We’ve had a good relationship. But someone who will undermine his members and someone who will not stand up to the federal government; you have to ask yourself is that the kind of person that we need in the US Senate.

Dan Patrick is spouting a big “I am a Conservative” on the AM 700 Facebook page, and isn’t endorsing anyone in this race. I have found him to be an Authoritarian and a Republican, not a liberty minded Representative of his constituents.

His tax cutting hasn’t happened for property taxes.
He attempted to get tarry stop legislation passed so police can stop and demand ID at will.
The franchise tax is still in effect, so business gets an income tax.

He spouts off and blows hard, but I want LESS government, and he wants more rules.

Goodbye Mr. Patrick, I will not vote for you again.

I pray Ted Cruz wins and we get the right kind of guy in office.

You are absolutely right. This is one reason why I was surprised that Patrick not only endorsed Dewhurst, but has served as his attack dog.

Patrick is my State Senator, and I have worked for his campaign in the past. His behavior in this race and the Devine/Medina race is very disappointing.
