Dewhurst is NOT the conservative in the race.
Dewhurst is buying this election, but has no real base of support among activists. He’s been a status-quo leader in Texas lege and has punted more than he’s delivered.
We can do better. TED CRUZ.
Here’s who has endorsed Ted Cruz: SARAH PALIN, the Tea Party Express, U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint and Rand Paul, Dr. James Dobson, Cathie Adams, George P. Bush, Gun Owners of America, Family Research Council Action PAC, FreedomWorks, Texas Home School Coalition PAC, Kelly Shackelford, David Barton, Peggy Venable and Young Conservatives of Texas... and a lot more. Ted Xruz has won straw poll after straw poll.
Texas are behind TED CRUZ for good reason. He is a smart, articulate, expounder of conservative principles who will represent conservatives well.
This is Rubio vs Crist type race. Say no to Dew-Crist.
Of course. I admire all those endorsers you name for presenting a united front in endorsing a slate of tea-party claimants who are running in the primaries. And the people you cite would be the first to tell you that they are going to win some and lose some depending on the local candidates and their records that they are running against.
Ted Cruz with his resume give the tea-party movement a lot of legitimacy on the legal side of issues, and for that reason alone, getting him elected is desireable for the tea-party movement.
But, it will not create a problem at all if Lt. Gov. Dewhurst wins the primary, like it would have if Sen. Lugar had won against Mourdock, or if Charlie Crist had beaten Rubio.
The tea party people can and should get fully behind Lt. Governor David Dewhurst if he wins the primary, unlike with the other totally different men listed above.
David Dewhurst is no Dick Lugar, nor is he a Charlie Crist.
