While I'm no fan of Steve LaTourette, Karl Rove, and their cronies, this was a poorly written article. It reads like one of those idiot emails I get asking me for money.

What races are being targeted? They aren't targeting Cruz, despite what they suggest. Why? Because Cruz just got elected in 2012. He's not up until 2018.

I think they are targeting the Stockman vs Cornyn race.

Notice how there is no real information cited in either article concerning the Texas Future Business Alliance. No website outlining who is involved as far as I can find. Pretty shady. Information on their spokesman, Davis Polyanski, can be found here:

David Polyanski

Another big business crony gun for hire cloaked behind the usual patriotic euphemisms.

Gun Grabber Scott Reed’s client list had many fools. Bob Dole and John McCain among many.

Stockman better pay attention. Ken Cuccinelli waited too long to attack Obamacare and make the race about big issues. These libs plant dozens of phony stories and ads way in advance and the populace is already done by “early voting”.

They know we’re looking for a list to boycott.

Keep that $50mil from getting to them in the first place.

That assumes that Cornyn is not a fool, and if they means someone who knows the voice of his master, then I guess he isn’t.

As I’ve said before — I am ready to bolt from being a registered Republican. First of all, I live in NYC where the GOP is barely existent. The GOP establishment are a bunch of whores. OK you have good guys out there in Congress like Cruz, Issa and Rand Paul but if anything gets going —Tea party and constitutional libertarian minded folks are going to have to get seriously radical. The Libertarian Party per se can be a little freaky. I enjoy various magazines and websites such as Cato and Reason but I am not ready to join the Libertarian Party. Any answers?

As you say this article rambles all over the political spectrum. But
as I understand it this is a group of various organizations
banning together to promote State Legislators that support spending money
on State projects that they are involved in such as infrastructure,
education, etc.

From the article:
The Texas Future Business Alliance — a mix of 10 major business groups,
including the chemical industry, bankers, builders and contractors —
is sending out mailers and providing other support on behalf of GOP
candidates who have supported water infrastructure development,
highway construction and education spending

At the bottom of this link is a list of some of the State Legislators
that they may support.

Is the same bunch that Rick Perry had working to get his homey Dewhurst elected to the Senate?

Not yet.

I'm pretty sure, though, that the elections of 2014 and 2016 will point the direction that we, collectively, as conservatives have to go, whether that is remain fighting to take over the GOP or go third-party.

First order of business is to utterly defeat the corporate backed GOP-E.

My Tea Party lady friend says, “The media has ‘deemed’ David Stockman as the ‘tea party candidate,’ but the media as usual doesn’t have a clue. Dwayne Stovall is the constitutional choice, the conservative republican choice.”

Cuccinelli was trying to straddle the fence between those for whom Obamacare is anathema and those for who,like Rove, it is only an campaign issue. Furthermore he bought the line that the social issues were killers.

Stovall or Stockman, anybody but Cornyn.

Ken didn’t ask for Sarah or Ted’s support: he brought in Ron Paul.

I think he knows he could have won, but now he’s on to helping Rand Paul with his NSA lawsuit, so the loss apparently didn’t slow him down.

I agree. But maybe if they make Stockman a target that give Stovall some cover. If he can get to a debate forum and presents well.

The Republican leadership has decided that they do not want to give up the gravy train. We are seeing the two parties align with the rich and big business. They have abandoned the middle class which was the heart of the Republican Party.
Is it time to consider dropping your Republican Party registration and become an independent? Should the Country Club Republicans be allowed to continue to select Rino’s as our candidate? Do we want Chris Christe or another Bush who will just do a little less destruction while they hold the place for the next Democrat?

We need the Tea Party and if the Republicans want to throw us out, maby we should leave. Number wise there may be more of us than there are of them.

These idiots need to be more concerned about Soros and all the other orgs that are spending millions and millions to turn Texas blue by 2016. That is the enemy, not us conservatives.

The fat lady will have sung her final song if Texas goes blue.
