But the progressives know their audiance, low information, weak minded voting majority, that couldn’t think there way out of a wet paper bag. Brought to you by 60 years of NEA dominance of our education system.

Another queer heard from. Bring it on, you pansy. Let’s put a debate between you and Sen. Cruz on pay-per-view, the proceeds going to the winner’s designated charity. I’d watch.

All of these type of articles are PROOF POSITIVE that Cruz is making significant headway.
Now is the time for "we the people" to RAISE our voices in support of Ted Cruz and Mike Webb.
To: Timber Rattler
David Brooks, the same fruitcake that supported Obama because of the crease in his pants, pay him no heed!

Brooks has had his say, but I also understand that Jeb Bush has said that GOP members of Congress shouldn’t go “too far” as he puts it over Obamacare.
It looks like the GOPe is on a collision course with Cruz sooner or later.

Well, that the whole point---all of the libs and RINO pundits want the GOP-E to somehow "show Cruz who's boss" without understanding the simple fact that in so doing they will be alienating (even further) the very voters they need to stay in power.
Say that they do somehow shut Cruz, Lee, and Palin up, how do they expect that this win translate into election votes? It won't unless they're counting on lib crossovers, and we all know how that works.

“All of these type of articles are PROOF POSITIVE that Cruz is making significant headway.”
Exactly. The progressive [march to communism] party are getting a bit frightened by the words and actions of a few who would stand in their way.
To: Timber Rattler
I think we need to remind the author and the GOP leadership....Who the Boss Is.

I’ll vote for Cruz, but will NOT vote for anyone supported by the senile decrepit pieces of Obamastuff vermin that constitute GOP leadership.
Die, die, die, GOP leadership and let some folks with measurable IQs run what’s left of the party you’ve done a superb job of destroying.
To: Timber Rattler
We are going to show you and your ilk who is boss dickhead. IT IS RINO SEASON AND MILLIONS OF RINO HUNTERS ARE GOING TO RETIRE ALL OF YOUR BUTT BUDDIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOAD brooks!

The GOP leadership better realize there is a new Boss in town.
If they want to continue to vote as Democrats they can be replaced with Conservatives. In fact the process is already in motion, Just ask Mitch McConnell.

Their are days I want to ( Metaphorically only ) go Soccer Hooligan on these pusillanimous apparatchiks that make up the GOP punditry class.
Note to Mr. Brooks, we don't want a "boss" we are looking for leadership, and Ted Cruz is actually displaying some of which we haven't seen in eons...
It was so un-PC this movie, "Eurotrip" but this clip of the Soccer Hooligans is probably how they view "us", if so, Good !"

Maybe we are the "liberty hooligans" or "tea-party hooligans", I'd have to think about a proper name :-)
