Ted Cruz Proven Record

THE HOLDER-OBAMA ALLIANCE

Eric Holder - Discover the Networks
THE HOLDER-OBAMA ALLIANCE

After the end of the Clinton presidency, Holder left the Justice Department and joined (as a partner) the Washington, DC law firm of Covington & Burling (C&B). In 2004 he met Barack Obama at a dinner party hosted by former White House aide Anne Walker Marchange, a niece of Clinton friend Vernon Jordan.

In the spring of 2007, shortly after launching his White House bid, Obama asked Holder to join his presidential campaign as a legal adviser and strategist. At that time, Holder's firm, C&B, was representing 17 Yemeni detainees (and one Pakistani national) in Guantanamo Bay. A former client of C&B was yet another Guantanamo detainee, from Kuwait, who had contributed to an anthology of detainee poetry compiled and published by Holder’s C&B colleague, Marc Falkoff. Falkoff likened the plight of these “gentle, thoughtful” poets, to that of the Jews who had been held in concentration camps during World War II. The aforementioned Kuwaiti was released from Guantanamo in 2005 and promptly resumed his terrorist activities. In March 2008 he blew himself up with a truck bomb in Mosul, Iraq, killing 13 Iraqi army soldiers and wounding 42 others.
With this kind of corrupt leadership, how can you expect Justice from THIS (In)Justice Department?

Texas Sen. Candidate Dewhurst Removes 2007 Pro-Amnesty Speech From Official State Website

Texas Sen. Candidate Dewhurst Removes 2007 Pro-Amnesty Speech From Official State Website

Texas Lieutenant Gov. David Dewhurst said that he had not supported a guest worker program during his debate with Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz last month.  After Dewhurst was called out for misleading voters on this issue, a 2007 speech available on the lieutenant governor's website showing his support for a guest worker program disappeared from the official state government website. 

The timing led people to believe the Dewhurst campaign was literally trying to erase his past. 
The Cruz campaign took a screenshot of the the 2007 speech, delivered in South Texas in which Dewhurst said he supported a guest worker program for illegal immigrants.   
“I support a guest worker program for those here today illegally,” Dewhurst said then. 
They were smart to have done so because the link to the speech -- on the official state lieutenant governor website, no less -- no longer exists and has been taken down. 
 Is Dewhurst just another RINO?
