the big problem with freepers and conservatives in general is that EVERYBODY has to be in lockstep with your own personal thinking or they're excommunicated....

freepers did it to Rubio....Now Rand.....Cruz better watch his step or he'll get pigeon holed as well...

Rubio pigeon holed Rubio.

Standing with Chuckie Schumer is self-immolation.

Doubt Cruz get pigeonholed. He is smarter than Paul et al. And he is against amnesty or retention. Paul is a Libertarian and does not therefore have a balanced view of government. Cruz is a Natral Law theorist and therefore more akin to the Founding Fathers.

Cruz can restore that which made us good and great.

We are a pretty fickle bunch. Unless the candidates stay so far to the Right that we can’t attract anyone else but the base, we are unhappy, we split up, and we divide up, clearing the way for the RINO to come in, run up the middle, and walk the bases for the win.

Coalescing early and solidly behind our candidate is our last chance, given what happened last time.

No.

Rubio did it to himself when he lied to me and everyone else.

He’s a liar.

Actually the problem is with the politicians NOT being in lockstep with the Constitution and other Founding Documents which are insistent on how our Constitutional Republic is designed to function.

Free Republic members along with Conservatives and other Tea Party types are quite vocal and strict in judging politicians who veer away from the Constitution in their policies.

That is the way it should work, so it is NOT a "big problem with freepers and conservatives". Conversely it is solutions to the problem that they are working on.

freepers did it to Rubio

LOL Rubio did it to himself I'm sure you know why he was admonished by freepers. For good cause I might add, although Rove, McCain et al would disagree.

Rubio speaks one thing to TEA party groups and the exact opposite to hispanic groups. Rand Paul talks out both sides of his mouth. Cruz doesn’t do any of that. So I doubt he’ll have the same problems.

The only people who will try to pigeon hole Cruz will be the GOPe, the RINO, socialist, establishment/elite of the republican party.

What are we supposed to do? Swear our undying allegiance to these politicians - even when they stab us in the heart?

Rubio got what was coming to him for supporting the amnesty bill by the Senate Gang of 8. He sold his soul to the devil to support that evil. He was (and still is) rightfully condemned for it.

Nope, not going to happen to either Senator Cruz or Governor Palin as long as they stay principled.

Now you, on the other hand, can't stop bad-mouthing Freepers because they stick to their principles.

Seems there's not much you are not willing to compromise on, as long as, it's what the GOP wants.

I saw it and I think what everyone is upset about is that Paul showed fear, the old “we can’t shut down the gov’t” BS.

That fear is what killed the Republican party.
