<\/p>\nRUSH: Former Texas solicitor general and Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz did indeed get enough votes in yesterday\u2019s Republican primary to deny Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst 50% of the vote, which means there will have to be a runoff in Texas nine weeks from now. It also means that for the third time in three weeks, a Tea Party candidate has successfully taken on a Republican establishment Senate candidate and either beaten them or, as in this case, forced a runoff. <\/p>\n
Earlier this month Richard Mourdock in Indiana beat Dick Lugar, just as had Deb Fischer upset two better-known candidates in Nebraska. And yet the Drive-Bys continue to talk about the death of the Tea Party, the Tea Party\u2019s gone, the Tea Party\u2019s a nonfactor. The Republican establishment talks about the death of the Tea Party all because they don\u2019t see it, except on Election Day. And then they see it, and then they hear it, and then they start cursing. The Tea Party started as a protest movement. And of course you can\u2019t miss a protest movement, people showing up at town hall meetings. They move beyond that now. These are people working at the grassroots to get people elected. And it\u2019s working. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Occupy Wall Street movement appears to be completely shovel-ready. Where the heck is it? The Wall Street movement, the Occupy Wall Street movement has been nothing but a protest movement. That\u2019s all it\u2019s been. This cannibal, this guy down in Florida, he\u2019s got more in common with the Occupy movement than he does any other group in this country. Well, the same kind of perverted stuff goes on. Maybe not cannibalism, but I mean you\u2019ve got every other example of human depravity going on within the Occupy movement. We never hear anything about the Occupy movement anymore, unless it\u2019s a report about some of their members being arrested for terrorist plots like wanting to blow up bridges or something. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s 67 years old, first elected to Congress 1966, and he received a rare primary endorsement last month from none other than The One, Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm. So coattails, anybody? Obama with a rare primary endorsement, and as is somewhat common, Obama endorses you and you are toast, like Kathryn\u2019s computer. (interruption) Well, of course among the Democrats. It\u2019s the Democrat primary. Damn right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
