re: Texas Republicans you better get off your arses

I hate Cruz more. And I don't hate Beto. I don't agree with him on everything, but Cruz has got to go.

I have some liberal-leaning in-laws in Texas and I believe they are really pulling for this guy (from their FB posts, they won't discuss politics with me).

The Beto campaign is also calling people asking for support. I’ve never heard of that crap.

I had a cute 20-something chick knock on my door about Beto. I told her she was at the wrong house!

If only I had my Cruz sign, LOL.

Is Cruz swearing this is his last term in congress?

fricking LOL if you actually believe any promises that come out of Beto (or Ted’s or any a-hole in Congress) mouths re: term limits.

Dumbarse. “Please come inside and tell me about your candidate. May I offer you a glass of wine or a beer?”

I just don't find that to be true. Left of center, yes, but not VERY left wing.

now i didn't post everything because of course we're both human and care so we're going to agree on some points. there's no democrat i disagree on everything with.

but nobody is going to look at those and see "left of center." that's not even taking into account that he's voted lock and step with Democrats every time. and that's fine, he's a democrat and votes his conscience and i don't fault him for that. but don't try to paint him as a centrist. his entire platform is regulate, tax, and giveaways or what is going the least against the stream in the court of public opinion.

The Mick has no shot, Cruz is keeping his powder dry until it matters. The lib press in Texas will do all the they can like they did with Barbie but it won't matter, still more hard working men and women in those red countys, 20 or 25 years from now it might be a different story but not yet.
