The Tea Party is heard from.
We don’t win EVERY race,
but we win a lot of them.
Hear that, Robert Bennett? Hear that, Dick Lugar? Hear that, Nebraska?
STOP THE SPENDING.

YES!!!Congrats to my fellow Texans. Dewhurst needs to be watched closely. Any retribution he deals out in Austin can and should be used against him in 2014.

Also, Texas State Senator Jeff "big abortion industry butt kisser" Wentworth, (RINO), lost by a two to one margin tonight............
In an after election interview, Wentworth attributed the loss to voter anger that was misdirected towards he and Dewhurst. He said that he and Dewhurst were doing such a great job for Texas..........
translation........the voters were stupid........

I would give them the benefit of the doubt - they do have a point, compared to the actual Democrat opposition they had. :P
Compared to an actual conservative, not so much. But still, compared to a true Dem, yeah, they weren’t doing terribly badly.

THWAP!!!
Take THAT Dick Cheney! Your dumass crack about Sarah Palin helped Cruz beat your butt buddy Dewhurst even more nyuck nyuck!
You saw it coming the minute you could get your foot out of your mouth and then decided to go fishing instead of going to the convention...

Wonderful victory for Cruz. Just curious—what was the total cost of the campaigns? I’m assuming Dewhurst spent a lot more than Cruz.

Tea Party Rocks and Rolls.
Just not for the President....Why the Tea Party couldn’t give us a conservative and instead gave us a liberal nominee is what is tragic. Congrats to Cruz.
