Here’s a headline: Stockman, Cornyn Race May Be Tea Party Test. Dozens of similar headlines have been written, most from outside Texas, since Representative Steve Stockman of southeast Texas pulled his filing for re-election to the House and instead filed to challenge John Cornyn for Senate in the GOP Primary.
Folks this is a setup being staged by the conservative-hating media both nationally and in Texas.
Folks this is a setup being staged by the conservative-hating media both nationally and in Texas. The Texas Tribune’s writers, who wrote that Tea Party Test headline, know darned well that there is no statewide Tea Party in Texas, and more importantly, they know that state groups using the Tea Party banner did not recruit Stockman to run. Neither did any so-called Tea Party groups with a national reach.
Steve Stockman
So why the heavy effort across the country to define the rather odd-duck of a Congressman Steve Stockman as a Tea Party candidate sent by the rabble-rousers to challenge establishment, and fairly conservative, senator Cornyn? You’ve heard that victory has many fathers and so it goes that a failure of a Tea Party candidate on a big stage is a big win for conservative-haters.
Stockman can’t even get the endorsement of a conservative standout such as Tyler’s Louie Gohmert, a fellow East Texan. Conservative-leaning press outlets including Breitbart have already been detailing Stockman’s myriad problems. Also reasonably suspected is that Stockman will not be able to raise the money needed to well compete against Cornyn.
…when his campaign fizzles and he loses big, use it as evidence, albeit false evidence, that the Tea Party conservative uprising, is over…
This is simply a case of a media setup: Define Stockman as a Tea Party candidate to the great ill-informed knowing that he’s going to say embarrassing things, as that’s what he’s known for; show that he can’t raise big money even in ultra-conservative Texas, and; when his campaign fizzles and he loses big, use it as evidence, albeit false evidence, that the Tea Party, or conservative uprising, is over and it’s time for all those in Congress to quit with anything but go-along to-get-along.
