I thought the tea party was dead? And what is up with all these racist tea party folks voting for a cuban? Or I guess I should say "insurgent" as the NY Times calls him. Pathetic. lol
HOUSTON — Ted Cruz, an insurgent backed by the Tea Party, easily defeated the candidate favored by Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday in a runoff election for the Republican Senate nomination that revealed a wide rift in Texas between the party establishment and restless anti-incumbent activists on the right.
The Tea Party over took the Texas GOP Convention in June, too. Notice they have not announced who won Texas delegate count? It was not the establishment. I was there to witness it, first hand and have my seat in Tampa.
As I cruz'd around the DFW area today in my SUV, I noticed something.......
No old campaign signs anywhere for Ted Cruz. Yet for his opponent, they were everywhere, at every corner, every lot, every field, etc. As were other election placards for others.
I wonder why?
My thoughts:
1. None were put up. (not true - they were there right up to the election).
2. His campaign people went out and properly policed the signs after the election.
3. His opponent's supporters removed the signs before (or after?) the election.
4. His campaign supporters followed the legal procedures and didn't put the signs where they aren't allowed. (again not true, the signs get stuck everywhere by every campaign).
I have long stated I'd vote for whomever would remove all the political signs after an election no matter who it was.
Those signs are big deal. My wife ran for city council a couple years ago and one of the guys she was running against tried to buy up all the sign stands, you know the wire things the signs slip over, from all the former council folks everywhere around here so she couldn't get any up. Then he also threatened a few folks who owned some small business that if he saw the "wrong" signs in their yards and he was elected they may not like it. My wife didn't win but thankfully neither did this bozo. Some of these people are bananas.
His father fought alongside Castro in the Cuban revolution.

That was before it was widely known that Castro was a communist. Cruz's father was fighting to remove Batista from power. Castro the only option.
Quote:
His father was jailed and tortured by the Batistaregime and fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution but "didn't know Castro was a Communist" and later became a staunch critic of Castro when "the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent".
