EXCERPT: Two days ago, Hodgkinson posted an angry tweet about President Donald Trump on Facebook. “I Want to Say Mr. President, for being an ass hole you are Truly the Biggest Ass Hole We Have Ever Had in the Oval Office,” he wrote on Facebook. (...)

A group of Texas tea party activists took Rep. Steve Stockman to task Thursday, issuing an open letter that depicts him as unethical and lazy, and certainly undeserving of promotion to the U.S. Senate. Instead, these activists are throwing their support behind Dwayne Stovall, another of the seven people challenging Sen. John Cornyn in Tuesday’s GOP primary. “As your campaign rolled into 2014, Texans have witnessed what might be the laziest statewide campaign to date. The media salted your staff with questions, but these questions were sneered at and rebuffed,” wrote the group, led by JoAnn Fleming, a Tyler activists...

The campaign for Dwayne Stovall, Texas candidate for U.S. Senate, brings attention to the voting record of Sen. John Cornyn. Sen. Cornyn votes for unconstitutional legislation and then attempts to mislead Texans about his votes. This is part of an ongoing series of press releases exposing the Congressional Record of Senator Cornyn. Stovall said in a statement, “Senator Cornyn betrays the trust of Texans who sent him to Washington. He voted ‘YEA’ on the FY 2013 FUNDING BILL (March 23, 2013) that gave the Obama Administration the money needed to implement Obamacare. Subsequently, he also voted ‘YEA’ on ‘CLOTURE’ (September...

Dwayne Stovall, a Tea Party candidate challenging Senator John Cornyn for his seat in the United States Senate, has brought the controversial aspects of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into the primary race. Stovall is not alone in challenging Senator Cornyn in the primary; U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman is also in the primary, but his chances have been severely damaged by the candidate's decision to remain quiet in light of numerous ethics and financial questions. Breitbart News has provided our readers with the first look into the Stovall campaign press release, sent to us on January 25, 2014. The...

New Dwayne Stovall Radio Ad: Stovall Take Down (Cornyn opponent) from Texans for Stovall.

AUSTIN – With early voting opening Tuesday, Feb 18, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn angrily attacked Ted Cruz in an interview with The Austin American Statesman, declaring Cruz “bad for America” and boasting “I don’t have any regret” about voting to raise Obama’s debt limit Feb. 12. A testy Cornyn, speaking with the liberal newspaper last week, declared Cruz’s opposition to raising Obama’s debt limit “bad for the economy, bad for the American people.” Cornyn continued to attack Cruz, telling reporters “he chose the ugly alternative” when Cruz announced he would not support an increase in Obama’s debt limit. Cornyn faces...

Just weeks before the March 4 Republican Primary, Dwayne Stovall is spending his days just as he has the last several months — driving across the state and appearing before large and small groups of Texans, hoping to gain their votes in his race for U.S. Senate. If he is fatigued, he’s not showing it. In fact, Stovall appears to be energized by his grassroots campaign that boasts 1,100 volunteers, and counting. Stovall, a resident of Tarkington in Liberty County, is vying for the U.S. Senate seat of veteran politician John Cornyn. Though he may be considered a long shot...

The March 4 primary is right around the corner and early voting starts Tuesday. First, understand that due to Gerrymandering, the VAST MAJORITY of elected officials win or lose their races in the primary. The November general election is mostly a rubber stamp of whatever candidate wins the primary for the dominant party in their district. I cannot overstate the importance of your vote and the impact it has in the primary. -snip- Part 1: The U.S. Senate Race I originally was simply neutral on the race for U.S. Senate. I could not support the incumbent but did not know...

Losing yet again to "Unsure," Rep. Steve Stockman released a poll that pitted only him against Sen. John Cornyn. Fewer than 800 were polled and Stockman finished behind "Unsure." These results mimic the results in a poll done by the Republican Leadership Council in his own district where he finished fourth, behind "Unsure." In that poll of 660 in Stockman's CD 36, all of the candidates for US Senate were available for selection, and Dwayne Stovall, as he has in ten straw polls to date, beat Cornyn and Stockman. Stovall said in a statement: "Steve Stockman imagines that he's the...

The Republican Primary election in Texas is not about whether John Cornyn is re-elected or whether "anybody but Cornyn" wins. The 2014 mid-term election is not even about whether the Democrat or the Republican wins. For Texans, this election is about one thing and one thing only: protecting and defending Texas. Texas is an economic juggernaut, fueled by the hard work and ingenuity of its 26 million people. Political leaders emerge from Texas all of the time, and that's because Texans understand and adhere to freedom and the 10th Amendment. It's the Texas heritage. If you're a true Texan, it's...

In the primary for Texas' U.S. Senate seat, Dwayne Stovall hasn't gotten as much coverage as Rep. Steve Stockman. The reason, mostly, is that missing "Rep." Stockman, for all his issues, has been elected to Congress. Stovall is a more typical Tea Party challenger, the kind who runs and wins a small share of the vote on the way to an incumbent's re-election. But he does have this ad. Luckily enough I'll be in Texas next week for some reporting, and should be able to find evidence of a Stovall surge

Dwayne Stovall is running in the Republican primary against Senator John Cornyn in Texas. Rep. Steve Stockman is also running in the primary, but he’s got issues and I hear he hasn’t even been campaigning. Stovall has been traveling around the state and has won 9 out of 9 tea party straw polls. You would think that would have gotten the attention of the media. But they barely noticed him, at least until he released this ad comparing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to a turtle, and criticizing Cornyn for doing McConnell’s bidding. Personally, I like this ad better, but...

Why on earth would I support ousting the number two Republican in the US Senate, especially when he also happens to be the Senator from the Great State of Texas? Because Texas needs someone that will lead on conservative issues and understands that if you want to be considered a Texan, it is better to act like one than to spend millions of dollars on television and radio ads telling us that you are one. Besides, exactly how has Texas benefited since our guy has been the number two man? One man stands out among the candidates trying to oust...

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Friday blasted a bizarre television spot by longshot Texas Senate candidate Dwayne Stovall that likens Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to a Looney Tunes turtle. "This ad is lousy," Van Susteren said on her Fox website. "It is gratuitously insulting. "I have no idea whether Stovall is a great candidate or not — but his ad makes me think he is a jerk," she added. "You can be clever and funny in ads … or you can be gratuitously insulting." In the ad, Stovell, one of seven candidates vying to unseat Sen. John Cornyn...

WASHINGTON– [Texas] Republican Senate candidate Dwayne Stovall has garnered an endorsement from Grassroots America– We the People, a statewide tea party group based in Tyler. The endorsement buttresses Stovall’s recent claims that he’s the tea party favorite against Sen. John Cornyn. “As far as we’re concerned, [Stovall's] the only viable candidate in the race,” said JoAnn Fleming, executive director of Grassroots America. “We didn’t even consider Steve Stockman because of his record of being less than honest with the media about his campaign finances. We also don’t feel he has the temperament.” The group has expressed a marked lack of...

So Steve Stockman is running for Senate. It’s all over Twitter, it might be all over Facebook depending on what kind of friends you have, and it’s the talk of this town (if you know what I mean). Initial coverage has suggested that the stand-off — between Representative Stockman, the East Texas far-far-right conservative, and Senator John Cornyn, an incumbent whose votes have rankled some Texas tea-party activists — will be another chapter in the nigh-unending saga of tea-party insurrectionists versus the Big Bad Establishment. But it’s actually much more complicated than that. For one thing, it’s hard to imagine...
