The Brief: Top Texas News for Nov. 2, 2011
The Big Conversation:
Dwarfed by presidential politics, the race for U.S. Senate in Texas remains fluid, according to the new University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll.
Among Republicans, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the race's presumptive front-runner, leads handily, with 22 percent of the vote, 12 points ahead of his closest competitor, former Solicitor General Ted Cruz, at 10 percent. Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert ties U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, at 5 percent (though McCaul announced last week, on the last day the poll was being conducted, that he wouldn't run for the seat).

So if Dewhurst runs for Senate and Perry resigns to run for president, who becomes the candidate for Governor? Or would Dewhurst give up the Senate for the Governor role?

Either way we are better off without these two career politicians.

Once again, the Texas Tribune gets snookered into paying for a worthless internet poll, which despite the insistance of Shaw and others, is nothing more than a poll of politically active goobers as opposed ot the overall electorate. Rigth wing bombthrowers opt into these things much more than others. Cruz ain't even at 10% in REAL polls.

Texans need to think about the future of the State, and the economic and welfare of Texans. We need to elect people that believe in Texas independence of the corrupt Washington politicians. We can not continue being control by Washington on issues that we know are not in the best interest of our State.
these are the issues:
1- Education- we must have 100% control on the education of Texans.
2- Illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. Texas must enforce the immigration laws and eradicated all social services including education to illegal aliens. Sanctuary to illegal aliens should be a crime against the State and Texans should not be force to pay for the education and service for illegal aliens.
3- commerce- any commerce treaty made by the Federal Government that injury the people of the State of Texas must be readdressed; Texans must not allow Washington to destroy Texas economic or promote the slavery of Texans.
4- Texans must stand for our constitution, defend our sovereignty and the rule of law and should stop the prosecution of Texans by the federal government for enforcing the immigration laws. Texas is a sovereign State and has the right to protect their citizens.

Fellow Texans, none of these politicians should be considerate for any political post. They will not stand for what it matters to take our country back.
Do they expose, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the traitors, do they express their opinion on issues that need to be address by Texans, what are their contribution to expose and stop illegal immigration and the use of the Texans taxpayers money to pay for the education and the social services for illegal aliens; billions of Dollars are expended every year to pay for the cost of this ill policies and not one has the cojones to stand for the people of Texas and our sovereignty. Illegal immigration is an issue in our State and the country and we must force the politicians to take action or get the SOBS out of our government. We have enough of their betrayal.
