And all those were conservative votes!
That is how Obama ended up in the whitehouse again.
Conservatives are hypocrites when it comes to voting.

Millions sat the last election out.

Whaaa!! I hate Romney! Whaaaa I want a new ball. Whaaa!.... blah blah blah.

Kasich has been very disappointing.

[Jewbacca]

What’s the “oops”? I don’t understand.

[max americana]

“Is that Dan Patrick from ESPN?”

No. That asshole from ESPN hates Bush, conservatives and Republicans. This DP is a 180 degree turn from that the other turd.

Hall won in a real squeaker...... Good possibility of a recount.

they used the wrong Dan Patrick - picture is of former ESPN host, not the politician

Dewhurst has not done a bad job as Lt Gov

Yes he has. He has stalled or killed conservative legislation in the legislature with the help of his democrat friends.

He has kept the 2/3rds rule to bring anything before the republican controlled senate (which allows dems to block conservative legislation), and has given democrats chairmanships in the Senate.

Patrick has talked about getting rid of the 2/3rds rule, and not naming democrats as chairmen in the Senate.

Thanks.
Bob is a great guy, he stuck it to Wendy Davis bigtime.

They must be owned by the same parent company.

Conservatives wouldn't vote for your pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, big government liberal like you wanted them to.

Why do you want conservatives to vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, big government liberal, just because he's the republican nominee?

Over all he has not done bad job, but the guy is a uber jerk on a power trip.
Time to move on Dewey.

[mylife]

Because Obama is a far worse alternative.

[JRandomFreeper]

He HAS done a horrible job, and willfully blocked plenty of conservative legislation.

Only an establishment 'moderate' could say that he hasn't done a bad job.

Romney was not MY candidate.
But I voted for him over Obama.

[JRandomFreeper]

You demand that I vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, socialized medicine, big government liberal because he is your republican candidate? Is that what you are saying?

/johnny

[JRandomFreeper]

If you are a republican, he's your candidate.

I'm a conservative, not a republican.

It’s a moot point. Dewey is gone.

[JRandomFreeper]

I worked hard to get rid of him. Strauss and Cornyn are next. We've got 6 years to plan Cornyn's political demise.
