Dwayne Stovall regrets he didn’t start talking about turtle soup earlier.
Stovall is a Tea Party conservative running for Senate in Texas’s Republican primary against incumbent John Cornyn as well as Rep. Steve Stockman. Stovall brags about his grassroots campaign with 1100 volunteers and his track record in straw polls but he wasn’t registering nationally until last week when a quirky campaign ad went viral.
-snip-
Stovall told The Daily Beast that he never planned to release that ad,” I was not going to do that, not my style.” He was filming other television spots in January and his campaign manager and the producer wanted to do the turtle soup spot. Eventually, Stovall acquiesced to filming it but insisted it would “never see the light of day.”
Then, after Cornyn and McConnell provided the pivotal votes for cloture to end debate on raising the debt ceiling last week, Stovall changed his mind, “it had a visceral effect on me . . I was so mad about it . . .and just said release [the video].
Stovall seemed somewhat disappointed that it took the video to get him national attention instead of his ongoing concerns about the national debt. In his opinion, we are “enslaving ourselves with of this debt. There’s an elite class of political people and they create our debt, expand size and scope of government and encroach on our freedoms everyday.”

VERY FEW PEOPLE VOTE IN PRIMARIES!!!
FREEPERS ALONE COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME!!
YOUR VOTE GOES 100 TIMES AS FAR
CALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY one extra vote EACH and Mitch loses!
George P. is the people’s choice, but no one knows why.
I’m in east Texas we were the only voters there.
Good add, funny. Early voting opened today, and I never work my own precinct, have crew will travel.
Stoval is one I am looking at though and I’ll be checking out the others. s far as I am concerned it is anyone but Cornyn ABC.
I held signs outside an early voting place in my county and had to make my own Stovall sign but had fun. I too will enjoy voting against the next Bush. I’m like Mrs Barbara Bush, “no more Bushes” and I add EVER!
Also passed out my pics for all races. Several took them. Very important for the judges too. People don’t do enough vetting on the judges.

I’m going to do the same tomorrow. No votes for George P.
Read over the Dallas Morning News endorsements today which to me is list of everyone I should not vote for.
2012 early voting was huge in the last cycle. I am a Harris County election judge and I got reports two or three times from my handler in county elections. I will be speaking with her soon. One thing to remember althoigh the election is administered by Texas counties it is run by the parties, hence the two party control.
If conservatives are to wrest control from the elites then it must be done from within the two party structure because political election laws are stacked against third parties.

I haven't even started voting yet! Vote early, vote often. Pretend it is Ohio.
Over here in Cedar Park Stovall had two signs at Randalls.
I noticed signs are more tightly clustered than I remember. Maybe signs are being pulled while some are being planted in the exact same spot?
Point taken...
As hr long as Stovall knows the 1st - 6th amendment and plans to uphold them I’m not that worried about the rest...: )
