Never said that Dewhurst ran soft nice loving ads. Said they are truthful.

Neither did I imply that Cruz is an “elite,” I stuck to rebuttal of your claim that Dewhurst is.

13 years in politics, beginning in mid-life, is nothing for Dewhurst to be ashamed of. He has lead a partisan Senate through runaway Dems, two budget crises, and our immigration pressures from DC.

Unfortunately, until last fall, Cruz has no record, other than being assigned to defend the laws that Dewhurst passed in the Texas Senate. Laws that even Cruz claims are not moderate.

I never knew the Solicitor General's only duties were to defend the laws that the Lieutenant Governor passed in the Senate.

Or that the Lieutenant Governor was soley responsible for passing laws in the Senate.

I admit I am not as political savvy as others, so bear with me.

About Cruz having no record, he actually does

law clerk to William Rehnquist and J. Michael Luttig
authored more than eighty briefs before the United States Supreme Court and presented forty-three oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court.
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of thirty-one states in defense of the principle that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms
Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States
He has enough of a record that "Ted is currently the only Senate candidate in the nation to have the support of sitting U.S. Senators Jim DeMint,[25] Mike Lee,[26] Rand Paul,[27] and Pat Toomey.
Dewhurst...has lead a partisan Senate through runaway Dems.
Dewhurst appointed 32 Democrats to committee chairmanships, which resulted in killing conservative legislation.
"Dewhurst has consistently sided with Democrats more often than with conservative Republicans, according to a study by Dr. Mark Jones, the chairman of the Department of Political Science at Rice University"
"...(in) a Dewhurst-run Senate...the senators who enjoyed the most success were in the moderate and center wings of the Republican Party."
Dewhurst's position in favor of government schools and against parents being able to choose how their children are schooled is not to my liking.
A lot of the information in this post is from links I posted above and Wikipedia.
Your guy has done some good stuff I admit.
But I will always align myself with candidates who are closest to Tea Party ideals.
Oh and earlier, I wasn't implying that the "owner" wasn't an American, just that he moved his factory to China.
May the best man win!
