Dewhurst Ad Stars Perry; Cruz Call Features Palin
Both Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz are employing their highest-profile endorsers in hopes of motivating voters in the last week of early voting for the May 29 primary.
The Cruz camp is using an automated call featuring Sarah Palin to primary voters. Some of those calls appear to have been inadvertently sent to Kansas numbers as a reporter with the Topeka Capital-Journal reported receiving one.
"I'm Sarah Palin. Join me. Choose Cruz for Senate," Palin says in the call.
Dewhurst released a new ad Monday featuring Perry. The campaign said the ad will ...

Folks, in the U.S. Senate race, it really comes down to this. There are two factions in the Senate; one led by McConnell, and the rest of the 'Establishment' GOP types. The other- the fiscal hawks and warriors- led by Jim DeMint. Of our candidates, it is clear either Dewhurst or Leppert will join the McConnell camp; any of the others would join DeMint (Ted Cruz was ENDORSED by Jim DeMint). Keep this in mind as you go to the polls.

Perry's endorsement only proves the corporate connection. Dewhurst is supporting the "American businessman" yet he doesn't bother to tell people that businessman took his JOBS to China 20yrs ago. I don't care if Ted Cruz was the ONLY lawyer on the case, suing Jordan Fishman (or whatever) because when he went to China with his company and his American jobs, he forfeited any right to call himself an American businessman. I hope Ted Cruz mopped the courthouse floor with him. I support Ted Cruz and I do NOT support Rick Perry. I Deborah Medina runs again... The ONLY reason Perry won reelection is because Bill White would have been worst that Perry. If we can get a competent opponent to Perry, his sorry butt is outta there.

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the "Club for Growth" ad that slammed Dewhurst three times in the span of thirty seconds for being a "moderate." I'd never seen that in a political ad before. It's a damning testament to the state of our politics.

Face it, Y'all, Texas is over run with TEA party and the Republican party is done! They are trying their best to out-conservative each other. Career politicians entrenched deeply with deep pockets. These fringe elements have been in off too long and must be retired soon. Perry is already drawing retirement pay through a quirk in state law and is wanting to seek another term. Retire all career politicians and invoke Texas' Term limits. The bottom line on Texas' revolving door of career political candidates continues while Texans suffer the consequences. Texas needs "Initiative and Referendum" on every passage of laws from the Texas Legislature to approve or disapprove legislation coming out of Austin. The massive number of one-sided laws benefiting the few stinks.
This is your country and your representative should represent you. If you think Congress needs changes, new blood, people who represents you and not special interest or puppeteers like Grover Norquist, then get involved, go to meetings, get registered, vote and get out the vote.

Vote for Sadler! He fought for education when he was in the legislature.

Why is Sarah Palin even involved? Since she quit her post in Alaska, she hasn’t run for public office but acts like a politician who calls her constituents “fans.” What exactly does she do other than essentially proposition her self and image to the highest bidder? Sounds like Sarah is America’s highest paid escort! See how down and dirty she’ll get for the money at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html

Republicans are stupid.
They do not know the difference between their church and their religion and
the United States Constitution.
So the brainless keep electing the brainless.
