“...several thousand of my fellow Texas patriots about which of these candidates is the true conservative in this race. The finest, most active conservative patriots in the nation are part of the Tea Party, and those who are in Texas have unanimously concluded that Ted Cruz is the candidate who best exemplifies our views.If David Dewhurst were half the conservative you claim he is, he’d have at least half of the Texas Tea Parties endorsing him. He doesn’t, which tells me all I need to know about him.”
It is indeed wonderful to have several thousand fine, new. fresh, most-active, Patriots suddenly decide to become active politically to save the country from the recent unfortunate decisions made by the voters in 2008.
That does not mean there was no conservative movement that was active prior to 2008.
That does not mean these several thousand new, freshly-minted Republicans get to decide by themselves who is conservative and who is not conservative, even if they are in unanimous agreement among themselves on that subject (which they are not). It also does not mean these new political players can’t be snookered by political opportunists who want to take advantage of them and their enthusiasm.
What makes you think the Tea Party activists are "new" to the game of political activism? I think that's an arrogant assumption on your part, and a covert invalidation of the best, most astute members of our patriotic community.
That does not mean these several thousand new, freshly-minted Republicans get to decide by themselves who is conservative and who is not conservative...
There you go again. "Freshly-minted Republicans"???
So, I guess all us Tea Party folks are just a bunch of newly EX Democrats. That is what you're inferring. And I suppose that you and your elitist friends will tell the rest of us who is, and who is not a conservative, eh? Gads...
Keep it up, friend. You're painting yourself and the rest of the Dewhurst camp into far off corner, and alienating the great majority of conservatives.
ngat,
I have NEVER witnessed an a$$ kicking to anyone like I’ve seen on this thread. You need to stop now before your small brain gets the jello quivers.
Vote for your guy, but you are not capable of convincing a single voter to your side.
windflier,
Nicely done.
