“Ted is nothing but one more GOPe boy”
Ridiculous statement.
Is he an “establishment” of 1???
Just giving him an assist.
It is my mission to enlighten the misguided.
Who we elect as the next president is everybody’s business.
I’ll say what I want. We still have the First Amendment now.
No, the site has been infested with sock-pupped accounts and agents-provocateurs trying to break up support for a unifying candidate.
These screen names cramming every thread with slobbering praise for Trump will vanish like morning frost in the sunlight as soon as the primary is over one way or another. Then, the same people will show up with different screen names to trash the Rep. candidate as “not conservative/strong/committed/smart enough, so I’m sitting this one out! And you should too!”
It’s almost as bad as the Perot campaign...
Thank you for your reply. I agrre with most of your podt. However, free enterprise is a way more populist in the Conservative bag than the corporatist leanings of Cruz.
The principle of the rule of law, ignored for so long by too many Ds and Rs lately is also betrayed
by Cruz with his amnesty push.
Property rights and the duty of
government to protect property
rights is something that massive
immigration which Cruz supports offends.
Cruz is a Constitutionalist without the spirit of the Natural Law which informed our Founding Fathers and therefore is not a true conservative IMO.
Who am I cheering on, or who am I supporting? See that might be an indication of your problem right there. Supporting or backing someone doesn't make you a sycophant nor even a cheerleader. Perhaps you should read the article I posted or look it up online to get a better understanding of what the word means. And FYI, I support Senator Cruz.
If that question is too hard, who is the subject of this article? And who was your narcissist/sycophant article directed towards?
Limbaugh is the primary subject of this thread, and then Cruz. Is there a reason you want to play 20 questions? The thread I posted, yesterday I think, was directed at people who are trying to understand the relationship between narcissists and sycophants. Some really good reading too. I hope you were paying attention. Some particular people apparently jumped right into your head when you read it. That's good, it was all about educational value. No reason to clobber people, sometimes all you have to do is hold up a mirror.
“Cruz is a Constitutionalist without the spirit of the Natural Law which informed our Founding Fathers and therefore is not a true conservative IMO.”
He clerked for Justice Rehnquist. That tells me everything to know about his knowledge of the Constitution and his conservative credentials.
And just what pray tell are Donnie’s constitutional credentials?
Despite all Rush's bluster, and words to the contrary, he supports the nation destroying goals of the global elite that run both parties.

From Rush:
“The thing about Ted Cruz is that you never have to doubt his conservatism. In fact, you can be totally confident that that’s who he is. He’s not gonna have to remember what to say when. It’s in his heart. It is part of his fabric. It’s the essence of who he is. And so he is able to articulate it, explain it, implement it in ways that are infectious and positive, and he never wavers from it. He is a committed, true believer. “
Would that be the Abbott and Costello routine of...
Who’s on “one”
What’s on “two”
I don’t know is on “three”?
When Rush retires you are going to have to find someone else to do your thinking for you.
I’ve posted a total of 31,687 threads and much less than 1% of them were from Rush Limbaugh. Try again.
“Cruz is a Constitutionalist without the spirit of the Natural Law which informed our Founding Fathers and therefore is not a true conservative IMO.”
Cruz is the most conservative in the race. Period.
In every race we have to overlook some flaws because Jesus Christ is not running for office. (And I do not mean that mockingly or sacrilegiously.)
Those who nitpick the best we have, need to point out who they are supporting, who is the best candidate, and why. Otherwise, if they can do it better, they need to hurry up and run for office and show us all how it is done.
My first choice is Cruz. If he does not get the nomination, I am open to supporting Trump provided that he does not shift leftward in the general.
Unfortunately, Trump has already shown early signs of the leftward drift. He just said he can work with people like Pelosi. Rush pointed out very well that conservatives don’t want to hear that. We have had enough of that. We want to hear how he is going to crush Pelosi and her ilk. We want him to mop the floor with her and her type. People like her should not be in charge of anything except keeping their jail cells clean.
Now, if Trump wants to claim he can make deals and lead and persuade GOPe members to legislate conservatively, I am all for it. If he wants to say that is what he means by working with Republicans, great. He may want to show he can do a better job getting other Republicans to unite conservatively than Cruz has. Forgive me for being skeptical though. And I will never believe Trump or anyone else is going to get Pelosi and her ilk to support conservative government. It is the antithesis of everything she stands for. Instead, tell me how she and her ilk will be held accountable for things they have already done. or at least tell me how you are going to undo what they have done, rather than how you can get along and work with them. We have had it up to our eyeballs with that approach.
Knowing Trump, he'd run with it.
I know that Cruz clerked for Rehnquist. I also am familiar with Rehnquist’s conservatism. I recently read the linked article re: Rehnquist which convinced me even further that Cruz is missing something in his psyche. If he worked with this Justice, how come he seems to be a corporatist? Is power, money and revolution more important than language, culture, the spirit of American political and juridical beginnings? Why would he prefer imports of foreign workers to empower the very corporations, his alleged mentor apparently saw as potentially dangerous to the America we love? Is it youth? Or inexperience? Or excessive ambition?

And Trump’s conservative credentials?
If Cruz is a corporatist, what does that make Trump?
I’ll bet you top dollar Rehnquist will vote for Cruz
