Cruz Accuses Dewhurst of "Deliberate Falsehood"
Former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz has accused Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst of making a "deliberate falsehood" during Friday’s televised debate for the Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate. Dewhurst’s campaign says that Cruz is distorting Dewhurst’s record.

No one really cares about suits won or lost by Cruz. Texas' economy is not Dewhurst's doings, but the doing of the people living in this conservative state. How dare they attempt to take credit. Interesting that Cruz wants to get rid of Dewhurst and vice-versa. This convoluted track meet between the two factions of the TEA-Republican has proven the disruption of politics in Texas. And Texas' "Deer in the head lights" governor sides with Republican against TEA proves the fractured fracas. Every Democrat should take advantage and vote in Democrats across Texas!
