Staying home in the runoff is just as bad as those who say they'll do the same in November because their guy isn't in the running. To quote Haley Barbour, "Purity in politics is a loser. Unity in politics is a winner". Our entire system was built on the spirit of compromise, not taking our toys and going home when things weren't perfect.Bullwhip wrote:Dewhurts has been sending me email spam for years, I don't' think I ever wrote him about anything but I still get his campaign stuff 1-2 x a week.
That makes me not like him right off the bat.
What he did or din't do for Texas CHLs in Texas is no reason to vote for or against him for Sentate. Not the same job. U.S. Sentate isn't about state gun rights.
I don't like Cruz either, don't trust a goldman sacks lawyer or his wife. My guy din't make it through the primary, I'll probably stay home for the run off.
I am not concerned for the safety of our gun laws with either candidate. I am concerned with sending another "good ol' boy" to Washington to occupy our Senate seat. I believe if Dewhurst had kept quiet during the primary, he would be the G.O.P. nominee right now. Instead, he got scared and chose to go negative in a false and misleading attack on Ted Cruz. For that reason he will probably not be the new Senator from Texas. I will be voting for Ted Cruz in an attempt to send at least one true conservative to Washington who will do everything possible to overturn the cancer of Obama.
