Call TEA party operative what they are. Republicans are so scared of the TEA fringe, they will not disavow them as radicals and embrace their skewed notions and issues. Look at Texas where Dewhurst will not call Cruz a TEA party radical fanatic. But these radical fanatics back TEA party actions. TEA party extremes use the (R) instead of the (T) when running for office. The top dogs of the fringe showing up in Texas hoping for a killing of Dewhurst, who doesn't have the cajunas to call the TEA party extremes what they really are. Bigots on steroids. These Tactical Egotistical Activist(TEA) hate Obama because the PPACA(Health Care Act) has already benefited the people in insurance coverage for children, extending insurance over pre-existing conditions and making insurance companies use 80 to 85 percent of monies collected for insureds rather than compensation for CEO' and CFO's. And now the CBO says the renamed RomneyCare, PPACA(Health Care Act), will save money. How outstanding is that? It is my contention that TEA-Republican's are astounded that Obama has accomplished so much in such a short period of time. From saving millions of jobs to ridding the world of Bin Ladin, Obama has numerous issues he has accomplished. People must take care in voting this November because TEA-Republicans are using the (R) when they really are (T).

Keep the nutjobs (Santorum & pallin) out of Texas politics. We showed you before---you mean nothing to us!

PAUL SADLER is four-time selection by Texas Monthly as a Top 10 legislator in Austin. His specialtites were budgets and working effectively across party lines, both skills that seem lacking in 2012 Washington. A family man, he is the father of five. respected every where he is known , friendly and accessable to everyone. He served on the Legislative Budget Board and drew plaudits from everyone including former Governor George W. Bush.
We need to consider the man running against Paul Sadler. No one really knows who he is. He has this familiar name people recognize but he is not one of the Yarboroughs with excellent reputation in Texas. Ralph Yarborough served with distinction for the Democratic Party in the US Senate from 1957 to 1971. The , seems to me imposter, is Grady YARBROUGH His name is spelled differently but people are not noticing this. My honest opinion is that he seems to be some kind of a plant. Political game playing. The only Yarbrough I remember is Don Yarbrough, who won a seat on the Texas Supreme Court in 1977, but facing impeachment over forgery and other charges, served only six months on the bench. This Grady Yarbrough does not show up on the radar anywhere. Nor does his
website, no volunteers, no press releases and as far as I leaned no interviews.This is, as usual, going to be a low-turnout election it is imperative you vote. PAUL SADLER is the clear choice in this important race.
