95% of the votes they would cast in the United States Senate would be EXACTLY the same. There is going to be a very, very small amount of votes that they would probably differ on and those are where you need to look.
In those occurrences David Dewhurst will play the political game. It sounds awful, the game that is. Politicians should not play games, but that is the way the system works---and has ALWAYS worked. Really the political games are nothing more than the media's way of characterizing compromise.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we don't but regardless, the game is played.
David Dewhurst has run the Texas Senate for 10 years. That is what a Lieutenant Governor in the State of Texas does. They are President of the Senate. So who better to go up to Washington and smack around those liberal, Federal-Government loving guys than one who is so familiar with how their game is played?
Well certainly not a man who has never cast a single vote in either house of the legislature.
Ted Cruz is a champion of conservative crusades. That is true. He is a litigator, he fights for a living. So when there is gridlock in Washington why would we send someone who will only add to that?
The 5% of votes that would differentiate Dewhurst and Cruz are important. They are things that would break the Senate free of gridlock or add to it. Dewhurst could use his knowledge of negotiation to compromise conservatively, or Cruz can go and kick and scream and refuse to let go despite the need for solutions.
I'm going with Dewhurst on this one. And if I'm wrong, hey, we still will have a really great US Senator, 95% of the time.
Sounds like a win- win for Texas!
Don't forget to Vote. Early Voting (at any location) July 23rd through July 27th and Run-Off Electioon Day is July 31st. Do it, or don't complain.
