Voter Recommendations for All of Texas

Texas Alliance for Life has its Pro-life Voter Guide up and running. Enter your address program will produce a printable list of State and Federal Candidates that you can print and take with you to the polls or email to your friends. The site doesn't capture your name or other identifying information, so you won't end up on some list, somewhere. No annoying phone calls, etc.

(Yes, I'm a Board member of TAL. And yes, the organization is pro-life and pro-family. But have you noticed that the most fiscally and Constitutional Conservative politicians are also pro-life and pro-family?)

Here's what happens when I put in my address:

The following pro-life candidates will appear on your 2012 Primary Election ballot and are endorsed by Texas Alliance for Life.* (Click on the candidates' names below for more information at their campaign websites.)

It is your legal right to print and take this page into the booth when you vote.

For those who are wondering about the judges and other less well known candidates, may I suggest this as a resource? (That's hoc of hocndoc, running for County Republican Chair. We're always looking for his replacement so if anyone wants a write in -- be my guest.)

[hocndoc]

I hope this is okay - if not, I’ll welcome a move to “blogger.” (Telling on myself, here.)

[humblegunner]

Looks good to me, Doc.

[San Jacinto]

Dewhurst?????
WHAT A JOKE!!

Ted Cruz is the man for this one. Dewhurst is basically a dirtbag.

[TexasFreeper2009]

United States Senator — David Dewhurst (R)

ROFL

Dewhurst?

I won’t vote for an establishment pick

Cruz is my man for the Senate!

[q_an_a]

In DFW the Tea Party endorsed candidate is Grant Stinchfield, at least he shows up at their events and get a great reception, to go along with help in the field. The Fort Worth Star Telegram and Roger Staubach also think he will do a good job - replacing a spend and spend grey beard.

[Grams A]

I’ll do my own list thank you anyway and it certainly won’t include Dewhurst.

[freekitty]

No thanks. You started out with Dewhurst.

[Hattie]

Dewhurst????? WHAT A JOKE!! Ted Cruz is the man for this one. Dewhurst is basically a dirtbag.

Amen. I've early voted already for Cruz.

[basil]

It was with great pleasure that I voted for Mr. Cruz today.

I wouldn’t have voted for Dewhurst if he were the only person in the race. (Well—I might have, if I’d had no other choice.)

[baiamonte]

Electing Dewhurst would be like having Kaye Bailey Hutchinson for six more years. Can you say “brain dead”.

[WilliamRobert]

Do-Hurst I wonder how many of the others are RINOs. I just got back from the polls and voted Cruz and everyone else I know is voting Cruz.

[1scrappymom]

Sorry, can’t use this list. I am voting for Cruz. I’m sick of Rinos’s trying to “work” with our enemy the liberals.

I am encouraging my fellow Texans to do the same.

Try this instead: http://www.heritagealliance.com/voter-guide.php

[PAR35]

I got something similar in the mail. When I saw Dewhurst at the top and an attack on Cruz inside, I assumed that all the listed candidates were safe to vote against under a ‘guilt by association’ theory.

[Arrowhead1952]

Rush was talking about Gov Palin only endorsing “Momma Grizzly” candidates, but she also endorsed Ted Cruz. I'll vote for him. No to Dewhurt.

[hocndoc]

Thanks HG!

For those interested, the comparison of the Senate candidates. The weight of the grading comes from panelists.

[hocndoc]

Texas Alliance for Life PAC committee (I’m not on it) interviews and offers candidates the chance to answer the same candidate survey.

Would those of you who disqualify other candidates because TAL endorsed Dewhurst, would you also vote against Dr. Donna Campbell? http://ivoterguide.com/RaceDetails.aspx?927&e=9

Y’all might want to pause a bit and wonder why Texas Alliance for Life http://www.texasallianceforlife.org./VotersHub.aspx, Texas Right to Life http://www.texasrighttolife.com/a/876/Texas-Right-to-Life-2012-Primary-Voter-Guide, Texas for Life Coalition http://texlife.org/ all endorsed Dewhurst. (and at least the first two agree on Donna Campbell.)

I haven’t heard Cruz’ answer to the question, “What do you see happening when Roe v. Wade is overturned in the Supreme Court?” Everyone should try to get him to answer - I don’t think he will - he’s refused before.

Looking for one concrete reason for the pejoratives about Dewhurst. All I see are emotions and opinions.

Continued accumulation of Primary delegates in the remaining State Primaries is the key to improving Paul’s chances of forcing the GOP-E to hold an OPEN Convention in Tampa.

Paul will then have completed his main task in this Primary: giving the delegates the freedom to DUMP ROMNEY!

My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in “both” of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!

This can be accomplished by the Delegates choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.

The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.

There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.

Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.

For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, to endorse “The Ryan Budget,” and to compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.

I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his “Budget” will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, I added those exclamation points, because both you and I know that Ryan’s budget will NEVER balance, and thus will never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.
