A group of Texas tea party activists took Rep. Steve Stockman to task Thursday, issuing an open letter that depicts him as unethical and lazy, and certainly undeserving of promotion to the U.S. Senate. Instead, these activists are throwing their support behind Dwayne Stovall, another of the seven people challenging Sen. John Cornyn in Tuesday’s GOP primary.
“As your campaign rolled into 2014, Texans have witnessed what might be the laziest statewide campaign to date. The media salted your staff with questions, but these questions were sneered at and rebuffed,” wrote the group, led by JoAnn Fleming, a Tyler activists who serves as executive director of Grassroots America and chairs the Texas Legislature’s TEA Party Caucus advisory committee. The letter notes that Stockman, R-Clear Lake, has made virtually no campaign appearances.
“We disavow your lack of accessibility to the people of Texas during this campaign and these unethical activities. Your actions have disqualified you.”
In throwing their support to Stovall, Fleming and her allies are betting on a small business owner who has won good reviews from small tea party gatherings. His political experience is limited to a seat on a small town school board, and a losing bid for seat in the state House.
“Today we stand with a fighter to protect us from an overreaching, over-taxing, over-regulating, over-spending federal government. We stand with the man who truly embodies the TEA Party ideal of freedom and liberty for all. Senator Ted Cruz needs a kindred spirit with him in this fight against Washington – that man is Dwayne Stovall,” Fleming’s letter says.

“At the end of the day all that really matters is Cornyn not making it over 50 percent on Tuesday.”
NO, thats not what really matters. If Stockman is #2 then it will be a Cornyn/Stockman runoff, Cornyn will win and it will have made no difference. The MSM knows this and its why they never mention primary opponents by name other than Stockman
I was going to vote for Stockman but his ads turned me off so I voted for Stovall instead.
Still pimping the GOP-e, I see. Man, your act here is getting tired.
More astroturf from the
Gop elite crap.
What poll and who paid for it !!!
I notice how no one states these facts before yelling it over give up !!!
I didn’t realize that I was trying to “make up” a new Ted Cruz. I just think that right now, Stovall has the best chance of beating Stockman out of 2nd Place so we won’t have to choose between a RINO scumbag or an idiot.
“Honest but Quirky”

Stockman is not honest and he’s a helluva lot more than just “quirky”. The guys is a charlatan.
I voted for Stovall. Stockman has ran a very strange campaign,
I’ve already early voted for Stockman.

Well, that says a lot about you. Stockman is a shyster and has no credibility.
Your Post #21 is right on!!!
I haven’t voted as yet because I have been waiting until Tuesday to arrive.

Tuesday is almost here Howie. I hope you will consider Dwayne Stovall.
Actually, I am considering DWAYNE STOVALL very seriously. It’s always been a toss-up between him and STOCKMAN.
John Wayne McCornyn will never get my vote again and that’s a promise.
