When you said you were a downer, you really meant it.
I know Steve too. I worked with him on two of his campaigns against Jack Brooks. And guess what! We finally got him elected!
You’re right that he’s not as articulate as Cruz. Few are. But that doesn’t mean he’ll get crushed. You need to stop whining and start working to help get him elected. Stop already with the negativity and get busy telling people how solidly conservative and fearless he is. Volunteer to work on his campaign. Convert people who aren’t dyed-in-the-wool Dems or Cornyn supporters. All this negative energy needs to be turned around and put to much better use than to provide DUmmies with a FReeper post to tweet and retweet.
Your’re right on the DUmp comment, and I will keep my mouth shut. Still have to pick our battles, and this one isn’t one for me.
