I would like to start a discussion about the various candidates running against Cornyn in the Texas US senate race. Cornyn is a RINO and is running the most disgusting negative campaign against Stockman I have ever seen. It is frightening in its machine like focus.
My lovely wife compiled a list of candidates and I thought I would post the information here in case anyone is looking for alternatives or has any comments.
All of these guys appear to be small government conservatives and most (all?) are social conservatives.
Reid Reasor
Retired Lt Col
Highly articulate and very conservative
I like this guy a lot at this point

Dwane Stovall
Business owner
Very conservative
http://www.texansforstovall.com/issues.php
Curt Cleaver
Business Manager
Appears to be very conservative and is outspoken about his Christian faith.

Ken Cope
Retired Lt Col
Softer on immigration than I like but otherwise seems good
http://www.copetexas.com/solutions/issues-solutions
Steve Stockman
Congressman
Not afraid to be confrontational
Has some baggage? I would love some feedback here
Web site needs help

Chris Mapp
Business Owner
Sounds good but would like to see a specific statement for each major issue on his site

Think I read yesterday on FR via a link that Dwane Stovall is supported by the Tea Party.
“Although Stovall was a speaker in Denton at a Cruz rally. Either is fine with me. Just waiting for the whistle.”
As I said, think tea party is behind Stovall and if Stovall was with Cruz/Palen, then he IS the tea party candidate. I’ve read his material, and will go with him.
The North Texas TEA Party has an interesting write-up on the Texas Lt. Governor's race and a short evaluation of all four candidates >>> Lt. Governor Race – No Group Decision
Some active TEA Party groups in Texas and conservative groups that I follow closely** are lining up behind Dan Patrick it appears, with the exception of North Texas TEA Party which isn't endorsing in the race. I listened to a Q&A conference call with Dan Patrick the other night and liked what I heard from him, especially regarding illegal immigration, reducing property taxes, and a personal commitment supporting term limits.
I can’t tell who’s gonna be TEA yet. I can’t find photos and associations of any of the candidates to make heads or tails of it. My gut says Stockman, but I like Stovall, too.
The picture posted above (post #14) is from the WWII Veteran’s protest, when the Barry-cades were put up and the WWII Vets couldn’t get to their memorial.
From l - r: Sen Mike Lee, Sarah Palin, Sen Ted Cruz and Rep Steve Stockman.
Has Sarah endorsed anyone against Corny? Thanks for any update.
The Stockman TV ad I saw, the other day, had a voice over that sounded very much like the voice in one of the TEA commercials I’ve heard. I’m trying to remember which TEA group...might’ve even been the FreedomWorks ads voice.
We need FW or TP Patriots or one of the TEA groups to endorse one of the candidates running against Corny....and fast!
Yeah, it’s like time to vote!
I think it’s to keep the hyena media from attacking too soon.
I’m trying to keep patient. It will be a whirlwind when it happens. More like an F-5.
Thanks for the ping!
