Cornhole needs to go.
He has become an insider.
He no longer works for the people.

I have heard that the TX Governor is constitutionally quite weak. I assume that also applies to the Lt Gov.

So does this have real significance? Or is it simply that we beat the GOPe?

I don’t know, I’m just asking.

Nope, because that is what you are saying. I'm just making it clear, so everyone can see that you insist that conservatives vote for pro-abortion gun grabbers if they win the republican nomination.

Deal with it. If Republicans want the vote of constitutional conservatives, they're going to have to be constitutional conservatives.

We can get the WH if we're not backstabbed by RINOs!

Wrong assumption. The Tx LtGov is much stronger in his powers. A quick synopsis:

You know what?
In light of all That I have often wondered why Dewhurst is looking for the Governorship.
It seems a bit odd to me.
He is in the catbirds seat, som why would he seek to move to a less powerful position?

The answer of course is that there is a flame under his ass.

Not sure what the poster meant by “oops,” but the guy on the left is not the Dan Patrick who won the nomination yesterday.

There were no good candidates in this race.

Patrick is a sleazeball. Now we must keep the pressure on to make sure that he’s OUR sleazeball.

Lt. Gov. is arguably the most powerful office in the state, and it’s very concerning that these two were apparently the best we could do.

My point is how’s Obama working out for us?

He has this Gov stacked from top to bottom with marxists.
You think that would have happened under Romney?

Do you want me to vote for a pro-abortion gun grabber if he wins the republican nomination? Yes or no?
