Tyler is dead center in the middle of Dallas and Shreveport just south of I-20, about 2 hours either direction. Easy access to the big city without having to deal with any of the big city problems. Anything less than a 5 or 6 hour drive here is nothing. The wife and I just made a 4 hour drive to Galveston over Labor Day weekend and it still seemed like a short drive!

The subtitle to this diary was cheering, to say the least. Go Ted Cruz and Micheal Williams! And I, too, can’t stress enough about voting in the primaries. I didn’t realize how important that was until a couple years ago.

There’s a lot to be happy for. I live in an area that has Ted Poe for Congress and Debbie Riddle for State Rep. I think you should be proud. If only the deepest red area like West Texas started posting story on Ted Cruz, it would be better. At least, you don’t have to deal with the dribble from Hearst,Cox or whatever liberal newspaper company is here in Texas.

I just want to share my amazement that my hometown newspaper is being mentioned on RedState!! Bring’s a tear to this Tylerite’s eye. I hope the rest of Texas catches up to our level of Conservatism soon. Tyler can claim both U.S. Rep Louis Gohmert and Texas Rep. Leo Berman, so it doesn’t surprise me that our paper is running articles on strong conservative already.

I just saw multiple comments all headed off to Cornyn-land, wanted to steer them back toward the awesome Cruz.

And all Michael Williams references are good stuff.

No more staying out of the primaries, I voting in them in March 2010. I might have started sooner, if I lived back home in San Antonio(we’ll even my parents don’t live in San Antonio anymore and Duck and Dodge got 2 more votes against him). True conservative vs squish. I knew what I would vote for.

I’m not sure we’ve discussed whether the staffers or Cornyn is the problem at the NRSC but if you want to keep that discussion off your thread I’m happy to oblige….

I like Cruz and said so elsewhere….and I agree…lets talk Ted Cruz…and Micheal Williams more!

with no political positions. As I’ve discussed many times before, the Democrats have a whole shadow government of non-profits, contractors and grantees, foundations, unions, law firms, etc. so that a Democrat who loses his job or office never misses a pay check. Republicans have little like that and are notoriously parsimonious and disloyal towards staff. Just as with officeholders, if you become embroiled in ANY controversy, you get kicked to the curb and left there to rot because no Republican wants to be seen with you. And if you’ve offended the Democrats enough even if another Republican will hire you, both s/he and you get trashed by the Ds and the media.

If your job is to be a congressional or legislative staffer, you can’t become known for advocacy of positions that are unacceptable to Democrats because if your member loses office or the Republicans lose the majority, you go back to selling real estate in Podunk

How about we stick to Ted Cruz in the comments today? Everybody at RedState is aware of your personal special feelings for the NRSC and John Cornyn. Largely I share them, but I think that discussion had been had. And had. And had and had and had.

But Ted Cruz is a big, big deal, a fantastic candidate, and has been sorely under-covered here. Let’s talk about him MORE.

I won’t make excuses for him…he needs to yank back on the reigns and put the spur to the moderates at the NRSC who keep foisting these pathetic losers on us…and if he can’t control it…and if his integrity means anything to him…he needs to walk away…to do less tells me he agrees with it and is as bad as the worse of them over there!
