What? Dewhurst outspent Cruz almost 5 to 1 and lost in a run-off. It was various Tea Party groups that helped Cruz over the top. Besides, Dewhurst WAS the establishment candidate. That man blocked conservative legislation time and again. He was not well liked in Texas.
So, if the Bush family runs the show as you stated, why then do we enjoy fantastic conservatives such as Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick? These were the Tea Party candidates for those respective positions.
Ted Cruz stood on the senate floor and called Mitch McConnell a liar for attempting to deceive conservatives in the senate such as Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee in regards to the backroom deal McConnell made with John Boehner during the TPP legislation.
John McCain, McConnell, Hatch and company began calling Cruz all sorts of names for his conservative stands, filibusters in an effort to stop amnesty. Cruz calls them the Washington cartel...pretty sure he’z not won allot of love pointing out the corruption in D.C. between the lobbyist and politicians.
Folks trying to label Cruz as establishment are being dishonest.
Many in this crowd are as sold out regardless of how much truth is spoken, pointed to, etc.
They want to believe in nothing other than promises and platitudes as the Obama zealots did in the lead up to '08!
One needed to only listen to one of Obama's closest mentors, RevWright spewing hate from his pulpit and know Obama sat under this filth for some 20 years, to have an inkling of the true Obama but nope, no one would listen.
Even some of my friends who stepped up to vote for the man (Republicans one and all) "wanted to be a part of history, proving that America had moved beyond slavery!"
Some even repeated the error in '12, "because Obama, the first black President, could hardly get his feet wet 'remaking America!'"
I refuse to speak with them regarding their choice by asking them how they like the way "Obama has moved relations" now!
The Lord tells us to "kick the sand from your sandles" and move on. Would that I stick to that every day.
