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?
