Get used to it trolls.

It is what going to happen.

> As a career military guy who learned that teamwork builds strength...

Politics ain’t a team and the path to victory is not always a straight line.

This writer is no fan of the Tea Party, but even he acknowledges what happening with the GOPe.

What McConnell should have added then is: but there’s nothing we can do about it right now. We have to work on winning more seats, and then we can stop this endless cycle of irresponsible spending.

This is where I vociferously differ. The GOP had it all a few years back and did nothing but jack up spending. They are just a lighter shade of the same hue as the democrats.

So, you’re saying he came out of nowhere.

Look trust but verify. I have no doubt that with a surname like ‘Cruz’ he will one day cave on amnesty. But I am enjoying the ride while I can because he is the only bus in town heading right.

If I doubt it, it is not undoubtedly true. These kinds of expressions are used to cover sloppy reasoning or as a rhetorical device.

I have to say that I totally disagree with your assessment of Senator Cruz.

Although he never served in our armed forces, this is a guy that I wouldn’t mind sharing a foxhole with. Proudly.

Better dial back a bit on these Cruz threads - your arse is beginning to show.

You show up a bit too quickly and repeat yourself a little too often.

I love this guy. The more I see of him and the more I know about his past the more convinced I am.

The phonies, stood up alongside him, are exposed by the comparison. Its amazing. Its hard to tell a counterfeit just looking at it, but put it up next to the real thing and its pretty easy.

During high school, Cruz participated in a Houston-based group called the Free Market Education Foundation where Cruz learned about free-market economic philosophers such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.

Explains a lot. We need programs like this across the country, we could reap a whole harvest of Ted Cruz's.

“I view Cruz as a self serving individual, totally void of principle. I would not want a person like this in my unit.”

Then please vote for Jeb Bush. Or maybe we can resurrect some losers like McCain or Dole who will stick with the party line. Let’s vote some more eunuchs in.

If you’re going to surrender, at the very least don’t make it look easy.

The party of surrender monkeys is headed for oblivion. A big problem, though, is when someone tries to make a stand, they're accused of, well, grandstanding and only being in it for themselves.

The war against conservatism continues unabated.

“I don’t know what you elected him to do, but so far I can’t think of a single thing or piece of legislation that he has accomplished other than to shut the Government down for a few days.”

Senator Cruz is doing EXACTLY what we in Texas busted our humps getting him into the Senate to do.

In addition, I see that you have swallowed the bravo sierra that Obama wanted you to swallow. The FACT that last fall’s “government shutdown” was designed and implemented by Obama and Harry Reid is totally lost on you. They out-flanked you and you never saw it.

Did you spend your career in the mess hall?

Yes repuglicans are Starists. Demonrats are statists. Americans vote for repuglicans and demonrats. Therefore, Americans are statists.

Are Americans lied to by the political class? Yup. But at the end of the day Americans have required their politicians to lie to them in order to be elected.

Therefore, we can conclude that the American voter, as a group is made up in the majority by self deluded lying statists.

Have a nice day Johnny.

Your post #5 could not have been written better by a Dem seminar poster.
