Come on... Gov Goodhair really has done a hellofa lot better for Texas than ANY alternative.

Saying Perry was/is better than the alternative is not saying much. He should have backed Cruz and he showed his colors when he didn't. He even went as far as to tell Palin and others to stay out of Texas' business. Apparently, he failed to realize that who Texas sends to Washington is everyones' business. But La Raza Rick Perry isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, that much is clear.

It looks like your boys Rove and Romney did a bang up job this last election.

Oh, wait. It looks like “your boys” are just as incompetent as you say Angle and Mourdock supposedly are.

I’m “sickofRINOs.”

Thanks SeekAndFind.
In the past week alone, Cruz has tangled with veteran Democratic spin-master Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Meet the Press, sent a tongue-in-cheek letter to Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, introduced legislation to fully repeal Obamacare, and recorded “no” votes on major items, including Hurricane Sandy relief, raising the debt ceiling, filibuster reform, and the confirmation of John Kerry for secretary of state. He also made headlines with his aggressive interrogation of prospective defense secretary Chuck Hagel. Additionally, Cruz’s quick rise to prominence appears to have offended the sensibilities of the political press. During Hagel’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee last week, I overheard multiple groans from other journalists covering the event whenever Cruz began a pointed line of questioning. On Twitter, they noted their exasperation in more colorful ways.
Sounds like some Twittering partisan twits need to find actual jobs.

As I 'say they are' ? Did they get elected in your fantasy world? Well then Coffee time, Reid is Senate Majority leader.

Are you one of those nutbags who claim that Angle and Akin lost because of Rove and Romney? I have read that before.

I have seen him in interviews and he is pretty sharp,
he had David Gregory interrogating Schumer on NBC MTP when they debated on it.

No. I’m one of those sane persons who calls a “spade” a “spade.” Something apparently beyond your RINO abilities.

Just call me, “sickofRINOs.”

You seem to take it personally that someone would be mad that Angle and Akin helped Obama and Reid keep the Senate. What is your connection to those losers?
I mean do you like what Obama and Reid are doing? You act like it.

I financially supported each of them, as well as Cruz, whom you apparently think is fine.

Each of these people, including Akin, stood for lower taxes and a limited government. The fact that any of them lost their election does not equate to their supporters believing “stupid stuff.”

What it does prove is that cowards run from those who support their core beliefs if a candidate makes a single misstatement on an ancillary topic that the MSM blows out of proportion. Well, either that is true, or perhaps those people who most promote a rational economic theory such as Austrian economics are otherwise devoid of rational thought elsewhere in their lives.

Which is it?

I'm “sickofRINOS.”

Hope he’s had his shots and can resist the DC Rinoitis disease. Most of them catch it before long after they get to town and start going to the Good ‘ol Boys parties. Must be something in the booze.

The difference between Cruz and those two crackpots you claim you gave money to (and still cant learn the obvious) is that Akin and Angle blew easy elections for no valid reason, just being stupid.

It doesnt matter if you like what you thought they stand for because they are not in office, in the Senate, Reid and that hog are in the Senate instead of them because they are so stupid they lost easy wins for no good reason.

If you are going to give money to losers like them you might as well be honest with yourself and become a Democrat.

I am sick-of-those-who-help-libs.

RE :”What it does prove is that cowards run from those who support their core beliefs if a candidate makes a single misstatement on an ancillary topic that the MSM blows out of proportion.”

Because Obama and Reid are destroying this country and Angle, Akin and Mourdock were key to getting him where they are now.
Romney did the same as them with his 47%. He is the same as them in my eyes, a loser.

If you love O you should love them. I don't. Following losers just gets you more losing.
And many really want that, they love the cult feeling of bathing in victim hood and endless losing and 'everyone against us'. They cant get enough of it.

Your accusing me of being a Romney supporter was very entertaining. Better yet a Rover supporter, yep, I just look back fondly at GWB era , right guys ???? LOL

They lost and with others who lost who were supported by Rove, we lost control of the Senate.

Boy, I can't wait for you to tell us of the idiots you've supported, by vote or by pocketbook, so we can call you ‘someone who helps losers and whom ought to just become a Democrat.”

Oh, wait, I'll bet that all the people you've supported actually did win. Which is why you must be happy with O’s re-election, right RINO? I mean, you couldn't have been stupid and supported a loser like Romney, right? I mean, the election was “in the bag” for Romney if you believed Rove, et al, so, surely you didn't support Romney, right?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm “sickofRINOs.”

IF you supported them at some time before their loss that is one thing.
But your defending them afterward is another, it means you either cant accept reality or you are a covert Dem paid by MSNBC to help Dems win elections.
