I just had a flash why Dan Patrick thought it politic to get in a little ruckus with Ted Cruz - political theater

I'm not buying that. I know Dan and he was a a$$clown in his attempts to get Dewhurst elected. Especially the bogus radio add where Dan gets all over Cruz. What a crock.

Patrick has become what he has supposedly against all these years. I'm very disappointed in him. I'm fed up with him and I will never ever give him another penny. His ego has gotten so out of hand it is laughable.

If the reason Dan tried to torpedo the real conservative in the race was for senate politics... then he put establishment ahead of being a conservative... exactly what he used to champion against.

There were tons of problems with Dewhurst:
* The speaker of the house scandal
* In Houston, he had more campaign signs in democrat districts than he did in conservative ones
* He couldn’t bring himself to put forth a conservative agenda (mainly because he wasn’t one)
* His campaign commercials were cheap shots and persuaded me (along with a lot of other people) to vote against him.

Dan Patrick is in the same boat for me until he either apologizes for that commercial/interview, or is endorsed by Cruz. NPR treats conservatives better than what he did in that interview.

Happy Cruzday!

Sometimes I cry knowing what is to become.

But there is something within me that keeps telling me “keep fighting”, which I do.

Until that “fat lady of doom” sings, I will keep fighting. It’s the only thing we have left.

I've got a shoulder you can use if that would help...

We have no choice except to stand strong and keep fighting.

America has to be preserved as the Constitutional Republic that is was intended to be.

I changed my tag line after a long time staying the same

Hay, your FR page is looking good.

Love to see an activist like you doin’ what you do, keep it up!

I do need a shoulder to cry on, thanks for the offer. I'm surrounded by idiots, hence my high blood pressure.

Before I go see a doc, I'm trying to control it with diet and some exercise (which I hate).

Another 6-8 weeks will determine the diets effectiveness.
