Why should we support someone who is prepared to sell the nation and the state out for high legal fees? I'm sure there is more to that story, including the fact that everyone is entitled to good representation, but you don't represent foreign interests at the same time as you run for Senate. If this is an indication of level of intelligence and good judgement, we should be voting for Pee Wee Herman.
Here is Cruz's response to Dewhurst's claims.

Below is probably the best one that covers it.
Ted works for a large law firm, with over 1,200 lawyers all over the world. The firm represents thousands of clients in tens of thousands of matters. One of those cases is a private civil lawsuit among several commercial tire companies, one of which is based in China. After that company was hit with a $26 million judgment, it hired the firm where Ted works to handle the appeal.
There is also this.
Again, Ted did not argue this appeal. He did however, argue, before the U.S. Supreme Court, a major case involving a stolen U.S. patent. Global Tech v. SEB. Ted represented a large manufacturer before the U.S. Supreme Court against a Chinese company that had stolen a U.S. patent. At Ted’s urging, the Court, 8-1, upheld a $5 million verdict against the Chinese counterfeiter and adopted a strict legal standard against those who misappropriate U.S. intellectual property.
As for your Pew Wee Herman comment, FWIW most Republicans will likely be voting for Romney so there is that.

Judge: Texas should plan on May 29 primary

IMO this is a good thing, gives the non-incumbent candidates more time to get their name out there, and spread their message.

Well, why don't you give us a few examples of things you don't like about Cruz? And which candidate you think should be chosen to go against the Democrat choice for Senate in November? I'm probably a bit more libertarian leaning than Cruz is, but out of the choices for senate I think he is probably the best one.

Also in the long run, it will be advantageous for Republicans to a few more Hispanic politicians elected to office.

And... Maybe this thread is better titled "US Senate race - Texas 2012"?
so as not to confuse with Texas State Senate race 2012
Good point, I've updated the title.

US Senate race - Texas 2012

Saw this thread over at ar15.com which reminded me that there was a senate race this year too.

I had honestly forgotten about it because I hadn't see any news or ads about it recently. So is there any campaigning going on for this thing, or is it just none in my neck of the woods.

After doing some research I'm going to be voting for Ted Cruz.
