2014 is here. The choices are becoming clearer, and the battle lines are being drawn. The GOP Beltway crowd has convinced itself that the way to maintain or retake the majority is through compromise and capitulation on important issues like amnesty, Obamacare, and the ever-increasing federal debt. They think that by making deals with a deeply unpopular and divisive incu...mbent president on issues that Americans oppose, they’ll somehow endear themselves to voters.
Enough is enough. The permanent political class in D.C. won’t listen. So, let’s start putting our efforts behind good new candidates who will go to Washington not to line their own pockets, but to help restore our country. It’s time to put inspiration, ingenuity, and integrity over incumbency in the GOP.
Let’s start in Texas. The lines couldn’t be clearer. Katrina Pierson is an emerging leader and important voice for the future of the grassroots conservative movement. Her life’s story is full of hardships she has fought to overcome, which taught her firsthand the importance of self-reliance, hard work, and the blessings of liberty.
A feisty fighter for freedom, Katrina is taking on a powerful incumbent who has so lost touch with the people of his district that he’s not even bothering to spend much time in Texas anymore. It’s not only his district he’s lost touch with, but also the issues important to the voters there. He used his powerful position to oppose the movement to defund Obamacare, has voted to raise the debt ceiling, and has been an advocate for the NSA intrusion into our freedoms. When asked about Katrina’s primary challenge, he said, “these things happen.” Yes, they do. We all know what happens when we come together to support a good candidate like Katrina – the permanent political class loses and We the People win! We win by electing a fighter we can depend on like Katrina Pierson. Ted Cruz calls Katrina “an utterly fearless principled conservative.” He should know. Katrina was among the conservative grassroots warriors in Texas who worked tirelessly to elect Senator Cruz.
Early voting started yesterday, Texas. Get out now and vote for Katrina. Send a message to the GOP elites on behalf of Katrina, just like you did for Ted Cruz in 2012.
And while you are out there voting for Katrina, check the box for another good conservative – Greg Abbott for Governor of Texas. Like Katrina, Greg has overcome many personal obstacles and challenges, which have made him a believer in the power of liberty and the need to defend our freedoms from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government. If he is good enough for Ted Nugent, he is good enough for me!

God bless you and God bless America.

"WASHINGTON –It's pretty high praise to be called “utterly fearless” by Sen. Ted Cruz, and tea partier Katrina Pierson is wearing it proudly. But it's not a formal endorsement. It's not even a description he's reserved solely for her.
Pierson is trying to unseat Rep. Pete Sessions of Dallas — a member of the House Republican leadership and close ally of Speaker John Boehner.
Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, publicly endorsed Pierson a week ago. Ted Cruz had kept mum about that (as explored in this weekend's Texas Watch column). Until Saturday night, that is, when he seemed to cast aside the pretense and publicly lauded Pierson at the North Texas Freedom and Liberty Rally, a tea party event in Allen.
“Katrina Pierson is an utterly fearless principled conservative,” Cruz declared, without mentioning her opponent."
Interesting report there. As of 18 February, Republicans are outnumbering Dems at the polls in 10 out of 15 of the largest counties.
Meh. We’ll see.
Yep it kinda shows which counties favor one or the other parties. The data will
be updated daily except for weekends I believe. This election with all top state
offices up without an incumbement excepting Lt. Gov. I think makes for a little
more interest. We’ll see.
bump!!
On it. Looking forward to a forced runoff of Cornyn.
Yep early voted today for Abbott and for Stoval who is running against Cornyn.
***************************************************
I did the same thing yesterday! Cornyn has ticked me off one time too many.
Thanks for the ping!
Is this worth a Texas Ping?
IMHO, the recent following two quotes by Conservative Commentator Eric Erickson highlight why Conservative TEXANS should make their votes count in this Primary Election:
1.) “ - - - As all of us know, we may not live in Texas, but Texas affects us and we all probably secretly or not so secretly want to live there. - - - “
2. ) “ - - - - It’s imperative that Texas have strong conservative leadership – because as Texas goes, so goes America. - - - “
