Dewhurst Drops Restraint Over Stints in Air Force, CIA
Before he was a wealthy businessman and the lieutenant governor of Texas, David Dewhurst was a member of the U.S. Air Force and the CIA.
For years, Dewhurst didn’t discuss that time in his life very often, preferring to stress his success in the private sector and as an elected official in Texas.

"The Republicans: Stand in their rich neighborhoods and
country clubs and tell us that we don't need health care reform
because we have the greatest system in the world. Stand in
their think tanks and private fundraisers and tell us war is

fighting their wars. Stand in their states, away from the
center of a tragedy and tell us people have a right to high
capacity magazines and assault weapons. Stand in their offices
and tell us that poverty, hunger and disease is not a problem
and that the rich paying their fair share isn't
necessary. Stand in their town hall meetings and tell us it's
the unions, teachers, firefighters etc. that are breaking our
countries finances."
Think seriously about voting for Paul Sadler... he is a more truthful, reliable
and knowlegeable man than either Cruz or Dewhurst.
