Ted Cruz, the top appellate lawyer turned tea party favorite, shocked the political establishment Tuesday, grabbing the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate and virtually guaranteeing that he’ll be Texas’ first Hispanic senator. He's not Hispanic. He's a Texan. Remember the Alamo!

Some headline writer is going to have to go to re-education camp. That's way too edgy for the Dallas Morning Snooze.
It almost sounds approving, and worse, truthful.

Why label every fricking person as ethnic? Cruz is American. We are all Americans. Stop dividing us into categories based on ethnicity, color, national origin, religion etc. A person is either a patriotic American or he is not. That is all that matters.

"...shocked the political establishment..." I'm sure the GOP-e was only "shocked" that they couldn't muster enough sheeple votes to beat the Tea Party candidate with their usual bag of tricks and truck loads of money.
I think they know their days are numbered, and that we're coming for them. They may have managed to get their boy Romney in play, but the rest belongs to us.

Perry and Palin
The results were a blow to Gov. Rick Perry, who joined several statewide constitutional officers in a strong, late-hour push to rescue Dewhurst. Perry appeared in several ads on Dewhurst’s behalf. But after Perry’s own debacle in the GOP presidential primaries last fall, one independent polling firm found that as a political prize, he was a distant second to Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee who worked hard for Cruz.
Rice University political scientist Mark Jones said Palin performed an indispensable service for Cruz. In mid-May, after a pro-Dewhurst super PAC ran TV ads claiming Cruz was against property tax cuts in 2005 and was soft on Chinese ripoffs of U.S. intellectual property, Palin appeared in ads vouching for Cruz’s conservatism. “She helped inoculate him,” Jones said.

The lesson here is that the Tea Party is a force to be reckoned with.
And Ted will do all he can to regain the Senate.
Romney can stand bye for the **** storm that is coming if he crosses us.

I got an E-Mail from Senator Imhofe begging me to contribute $2000 to Dewhurst. I immediatly unsubscribed to his e-mail list and told him he should have backed Cruz, like Palin and Demint.

"...a pro-Dewhurst super PAC ran TV ads claiming Cruz was against property tax cuts in 2005..." Funny....Dewhurst tried to push through a state income tax in Texas. Bet none of his ads dropped a dime on that little factoid. Frikken Dem-RINO.

It’s our best shot at regaining America.
The sad part is Obama has stuff all set up to go into effect in our watch.
We need strong folks to see us through all the blame we will get for his lousy policy’s.

Wow, congratulations Ted. If we can surround Romney with a bunch of new Senators even the Nervous Nellies should be calmed.

The DMN seems to be slowly, slowly trying to work their way back to a centrist position from the extreme far left they’re on right now. Something about how their revenues seem to keep declining the further left they go.

This is huge. It’s going to be pretty hard for the Grand Old Potty to ignore this. They need to be flushed and they know it.
