David Dewhurst in his bid to win the U.S. Senate seat. Cover photos and references to "Friendly David Dewhurst," in Alice Tripp's column, do not persuade me. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a moderate. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a man who is known for compromise. I do not wish to trust my precious Second Amendment rights to a man who distorts the truth about an opponent in an attempt to dupe the public into voting for him. I do not wish to trust my Second Amendment rights to a man who openly denies the truth when faced with the facts in a televised debate. These are large issues of character, that I cannot overlook.
I am willing to trust my Second Amendment rights to a grass root conservative, whom I believe understands, has fought for, and will continue uphold, the Constitution. I will vote for Ted Cruz and pray that you will also.
Today, Rick Perry was on TV saying that Lt. Gov. Dewhurst is the best person to send to Washington to help repeal Obamacare. Dewhurst has refused to sign the pledge to do that. So exactly how committed is he? Based on his involvement last year in the TSA bill for Texas, his "moderate" leanings are all too clear. When I see a pattern like this from a candidate, I'm not going to trust my 2nd amendment to them either.
