Richard Mack, a 60-year old former Sheriff from Arizona who moved to Texas to challenge RINO Lamar Smith in the 21st district. Mack gained publicity for challenging the Brady gun law that went all the way to the Supreme Court…and he won.

Cruz is running ads, holding events, appearing on TV & radio shows, has a great website, etc. Not sure what else he can do but run as the solid conservative he is, which is what he is doing. Lugar’s smear campaign against Mourdock. I’m optimistic the good people of Texas will see through Dewhurst’s smears.

Unfortunately, Pete Sessions -a shill for Boehner is our Rep. There is nobody opposing him in the primary…would have voted for anybody against him! I will have to do a protest vote in the primary. I hope he loses in the general elections…need to overhaul the republican party & the only way is for RINOs to lose in the elections!

Also, there are phone banks going up and the campaign needs folks to make some calls if anyone is interested: tedcruz.org

If you have tv ads everyday saying that you sided with the chinese against US company…it does have an effect!

Cruz did come on Hannity show yesterday..that is good. Need to hear him more ….

By the way, two months ago, I wrote here in RS that we need senators like Cruz to come to senate & work with Rubio – to come up with common sense immigration policy.

Imagine how difficult it will be to get rid of somebody like McConnell, Boehner or Cantor – they are establishment plus they have the leadership power (equal to access to unimited $$$$$)!

You’ll have to point it out to me.

Our Congress is not so much like the Soviet’s as it is similar England’s King George III’s parliament.

But the good news is there is a simple way to solve this problem built right into the constitution that our founders bequeathed to us.
Repeal the 16th Amendment.

No one we elect, no individual even a Senator or Congressman, no citizen, not even a business can stand up to the Government and say “enough”. But put direct taxation back into the hands of the states where it belongs and Congress will behave like the servants of the states they were intended to be. Not masters of the palace they have built for themselves.

We’re going to win more and lose less if we go out and participate in the precinct level and work harder to promote candidates who can represent conservatism and win the general. That’s how we take the party back, by electing a caucus that will steer the leadership in the right direction. Because the dirty little secret is the congressional leadership isn’t leadership; they follow what their caucus wants.

The Republican Party was created as a result of the Whig party falling apart.

I’m not suggesting we try to create a 3rd party at this time because we can’t afford 4 more years of Obama.

Nor have I stated that we should create a 3rd party for that matter, I still am of the mindset that we can fix the Republican Party. That said, I am going to keep the new party option in mind as a last resort option.

Instead of disagreeing with everything I say for the sake of it, how about you read what I post, and if you want some clarification as to what I am saying cause you aren’t sure what I meant, ASK me to clarrify, rather that start flying off on a tangent.

I’m donating to Cruz’ campaign right now in response to your comment.

maybe if you give Cruz some $$$ he can run his correcting ad:

http://www.tedcruz.org/facts/

The ad that shows him representing chinese company & putting US workers out of work is really devastating & having an effect. On top of this, Cruz came out & said he was not the lead attorney & other campaign came out with documents that showed he was the lead attroney… there is no response from Cruz!

I hope Cruz campaign gave you a convincing reply…if he has some baggage, it is better to come forth & tell the truth! Dewhurst is bad news but Cruz seems to have his own issues!

True Dat.

“It?s a 2000 page bill full of random stuff. By sheer chance, at least some of it has to be OK. ”

It’s a festering pile of left-liberal government-takeover dung. Yes, there are some kernels in that dung, but I wouldnt eat them.

“We shouldn?t let Dems be the champions of people with pre-existing conditions. ”

They never were and never will be no matter how much they want to regulate.
You CANNOT force insurance companies to accept such people without destroying the insurance market. Such regs have forced insurance rates higher and destroyed access to otherwise healthy people to health insurance – a cure worse than the original problem.

The solution is complete DE-regulation of insurance, allow it to be bought across state lines, and only then put in something for pre-existing conditions. The simple fact is you CAN get health insurance even though you have pre-existing conditions – it just wont cover it. Many states have ‘donut hole’ programs to fill in the gaps, where govt subsidizes that preexisting condition – it could be added to medicaid. This would be a miniscule and targetted solution vs Obamacare takeover everything solution.

Let?s all be realistic, that’s nuts.

3rd parties are for losers who lose and have 0% power except the power to give the other side – the LEFT – more and more power and destroy conservative principles in the USA forever.

Primary strategy is WORKING. Dont throw away a good idea for a pipedream.
