Your posts attacking Dewhurst are downright entertaining, if a bit tiresome, because they are so full of misdirection and class-warfare that they take a lot of time to rebut.
But easily rebuttable they are!
First, let me answer your question as to why you get the idea you have about liberal republicans “salivating” over a Dewhurst win. That idea comes right out of your own fevered imagination!
As to Dewhurst’s net worth, which you exaggerate by 25% according to my source, it really is not large for an entrepeneur who got into the energy and land and cattle businesses in Texas in the early eighties and oil drilling business and has benefitted from the rise in the price of energy and boom in the price of land over the last 30 years. Besides, he is into actually producing products that people like to buy, and why you seem to think that is a bad thing I don’t know. Perhaps you think it better to make your living as a government lawyer or on legal fees delaying the paying of court judgements against billion-dollar corporations. And of course you know that David Dewhurst does not have the advantages of incumbency because he is not the incumbent.
Your second paragraph is pure nonsense. The only Bush I know of that made an endorsement in this race made it in favor of Cruz. But you probably also knew that.
I’ll cut this short by addressing your misdirection about Harvard. Of course, we all recognize Harvard and the Ivy League as the producers of some of the finest legal minds capable of twisting the Constitution into meaning whatever they want it to mean! Why, isn’t the Supreme Court made up exclusively, or nearly so, of Ivy League Lawyers? Didn’t Barack and Michelle and Bill and Hillary and John Kerry all attend Ivy League schools at one time or another?
Just so you’ll know, maybe the country would never have gotten into its present difficulties if we still thought pre-seventeenth amendment; actually having our states represented in the Senate by productive citizens engaging in private business in the states of their birth where they have actually lived and done their primary business. Just a prefenence of mine, which goes to just another reason David Dewhurt rather Cruz is preferred by Texas conservatives in the know.
But, I guess you prefer that all three branches of government be completely populated and run by Ivy-League lawyers.
If you did actually believe in conservative principles and have had quite enough of the GOP-Elite, you would be supporting David Dewhurst for the Texas Senate seat, not Cruz.
I believe in class warfare. It is a two-way street, however, and not just an opportunity for the Dewhursts and Weickers to keep the peasants in their place without the peasants grabbing their pitchforks and fighting back.
Oh, I see Dewhurst is not worth $250 million but ONLY a little less than $200 million. Poooooor Dewhurst!!!! How WILL he make it through next winter, impoverished as he is???
As to Ivy League SCOTUS associate justices other than the five GOP nominees I have identified: Sotomayor graduated Yale Law, Ginsburg attended Harvard Law but graduated Columbia Lawl Breyer and Kagan graduated Harvard Law. That makes it unanimous.
Newt Gingrich is not a lawyer. Nor is Herman Cain. Nor is Sarah Palin. None of the three are Ivy Leaguers at all. Rick Santorum is a lawyer but graduated Dickinson School of Law (not at all Ivy League. Michelle Bachmann is a lawyer but graduated Oral Roberts Law School and got a Master's in Tax Law at William and Mary, neither Ivy League. That excludes any love of mine for an Ivy League Executive Branch. Neither Boehner nor McConnell is an Ivy League lawyer. Both should be dumped and Ivy League or lawyer is well blow my radar as a requirement for their replacements. I would far prefer rampaging conservative ideologue and bitter enemy of the GOP-E as my top two qualifications.
Oh, Do Wurst is a businessman. Just as thrilling as Robamney is a businessman. That just settles it.
