"Look at the bright side, David...
You still have a job!"
So all those obituaries for the TEA Party that we’ve been hearing from the commie libs in the state run “media” were premature? LOL! Chrissy and Special Ed are probably feeling something wet running down their leg. Sorry boys!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.............Tea Party Rocks and Rolls.
The Tea Party is dead.....Oh wait.
Excellent ....
It must be killing the obama ass-kissers from the AP just to write the headline.
Folks, those aren’t boos you’re hearing, they’re shouting..
CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ!!!
The TEA Party is BACK!!...FOR MORE!!
Mmmmm, some cream and scones with that tea, if you please!!
This is going to be sucha big upgrade over Christine Todd Hutchison!
UST as important as replacing Dems is upgrading Lugars and Hutchisons with true conservatives. Once we get critical mass, the remaining RINOs, some of them anyway, will fall into line lest they be targeted next. The fewer RINOs, the more we can focus our fire.
AP doesn’t bother giving the vote totals or %, but here Cruz is shown as presently getting 54%:

Thank ya very much. Let’s all keep the momentum and throw as many rino’s and libs outta office as we can.
God bless y’all.
LOL
Christine Todd Whitman + Kay Bailey Hutchison !!! = Christine Todd Huchison
I almost forgot about Christie Todd Whitman, NJ Gov, RINO
Saddle up boys, we gonna need some real men to repeal Obamacare,
repeal Dodd-Frank, cut DOE, Dept of Education, Food Stamps and
block grant Medicaid.
Real Clear Politics has been early with the results all night.

Excellent. We slay the beast one election at a time.
Excellent news!
Cruz should cruise in the general.
The Tea Party Express was there for days helping Cruz win this:
Tea Party Celebrates Cruz's Historic Victory!
We did it, we did it, we did it!
Tea Party Express, the nation’s largest tea party political action committee, congratulates Ted Cruz on his upset victory tonight and thanks all of its supporters!
Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz pulls off a historic victory!
Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer said, “We could not be more proud of this historic tea party victory tonight against the Texas establishment. This is probably the most significant upset Texas has seen since Perry defeated Hightower in 1990, and it comes at the hands of the tea party.“What we saw in Ted Cruz and this Senate race was threefold: we saw an unquestionably strong and bold tea party conservative in Cruz; we saw Dewhurst as the anointed Austin politician that was exactly what we have been working to rid Washington of; and finally we saw the passion in the Texas tea party activists that could set the stage for this historic victory...The excitement is palpable tonight inside the Cruz victory party“The false narrative continues to be written that the tea party is dead, and 2012 will not be like 2010. However, every month we see a strong example to the contrary. In May, Tea Party Express-endorsed Richard Mourdock beat 36-year incumbent Senator Dick Lugar. In June, Tea Party Express-supported Governor Scott Walker defeated a national union-led campaign to recall him. Now, in July, we have witnessed a monumental accomplishment with Ted Cruz securing the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Texas.“Tonight we sent a message that should shake Obama’s Chicago headquarters: Texas not only is going to be staying a red state, but the tea party is alive and ready to own 2012,” Kremer concluded.
Local hispanic race hustler Domingo Garcia is losing in the Democrat runoff as well. Voted for Cruz this morning. Poll site was pretty steady and I actually had to wait in line.
BTTT
Tea Party Express had a phone bank bus in Texas several days:
Our efforts are making difference
YES! YEA!!!
Great news. BTTT.
Is he keeping his Lt Governor job? I just had a flash why Dan Patrick thought it politic to get in a little ruckus with Ted Cruz - political theater. He knew Dewhurst was going down, and that he was going to have to deal with him in the Senate next session, and reckoned that it might be a good idea not to get too close to Ted right at this moment in political time.
We’re going to own the party after November.
He was elected in 2010 and, unless he resigns, will be Lt. Gov until 2014.
Congrats Texans from the crazy northern end of 35W! Tea Party rules the day! Wish I was there...
Woo hoo!! Tea for Texas!! Congratulations, Ted Cruz!! Congratulations, Texas!! Well done, Tea Party conservatives!!
The April primary in Pennsylvania was especially interesting as TEA Party factions were backing different candidates in the crowded GOP field. Still, the TEA Party candidates finished #1 and #2. The GOP establishment candidate finished third.
They were unmistakably in force at the Texas GOP Convention in Ft. Worth.
Yes, very true.
And the Tea Party Express endorsed many of them
At this link, you can click on the states to see who they endorsed

The Tea Party is Dead!
Long live the Tea Party!
Thanks Jim!
Hoping that this will send a few shock waves out to other areas of the country as well!
Ted Cruz WINS! Drink Hearty, Tea Party!!
CRUZ... .. 55.91%
Dewhurst. 44.08%
The margin grows!
Yea Cruz
Thank you Jim
It’s a great win for Texas.
WOO HOO!
It looks like a 12 point blow out, about 56% to 44%.
Thank you, Texas!
A shot across the bow of the establishment GOP!
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!!
I’’m so excited! I’ll probably have trouble getting to sleep tonight!
YES! YES! YES!
Well done to all Texas blood
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.
Congratulations Texas!
Took day off to make sure an vote. Tea Party is strong up here in the panhandle. Hope Cruz does well.....
Stay safe ...
Congratulations, Texas!!!
Bump dat!
The TEA Party is alive and kickin, in force!
