Texan Advantages

Either Way We Win

A biog advantage to living in conservative, "Red State" Texas is that we are unlikely to elect a really "bad" candidate to statewide office.  Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Texas Republican Senate Primary.

Current Lieutenant Governor and Hill Country resident David Dewhurst is the token frontrunner in the primary wherein he is hotly pursued by "Tea Party Candidate" Ted Cruz.  (Full Disclosure:  I voted for Cruz and contributed financially to his campaign.)  I bellieve that Cruz is the better candidate for Texas because of his rock-solid conservative credentials and philosophy, his intellectual brilliance and his full-throated opposition to all things Obama. 

That being said, Dewhurst is no RINO or even a moderate.  He will most likely vote the "conservative" position at least 96% of the time.  The main criticism of Dewhurst is his previous tendency to flirt with moderate-to-liberal ideas such as a state income tax, business tax, and most regrettably such Obama-esque statements as stating that Texas businesses "need to pay their fair share" in taxes.

Vote Ted Cruz.  But either way we win.
