	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I suggest they are very small.

Isn’t it interesting, the power just one person with unshakeable conviction and courage can have on Capitol Hill?

This entire battle between the House and Il Douchebag, et al, would not be happening, but for a lone Senator from Texas standing up for the American people and the Constitution.

Imagine if there were a just a dozen with his character and drive in the Senate. We might just take the whole country back.

This is great, let’s hope Cruz can accomplish something with all this, he has my full support. First off, Walker took on the Unions and Abortion, Rick Perry signed that prohibition of abortions have 20 weeks. The House pulled through in not funding Obamacare. There are plenty of politicians who have done things.

The fact they used a “dog whistle” code word like “lynch mob” means this article probably completely misrepresented the actual event...

Dems open the same playbook every time....

Analysis: Shutdown strategy has wide U.S. Republican support
Reuters ^ | October 4, 2013 | Caren Bohan and Fred Barbash

Posted on Friday, October 04, 2013 2:27:10 PM by LucianOfSamasota

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Eager to exploit divisions among Republicans, Democrats have hammered the message that the U.S. government shutdown is the work of a small segment of House of Representatives Republicans on the far right.

In fact, support for the tactic that led to the shutdown - now in its fourth day - has proven to be far more solid and widespread among House Republicans than the Democratic portrayal.

That is because the far right, after the 2010 and 2012 congressional elections, is not a small segment at all - it represents probably 69 percent of the House Republican caucus.

Members who were endorsed by Tea Party organizations in the 2012 election make up a full third of the Republican caucus of 232 representatives.

Even more, about 160 members, a strong majority of the caucus, get high ratings from the ultra-conservative Club For Growth.

The Senate doesn’t matter. The House is in control.

[katiedidit1]

My state of Missouri has it’s own Judas, Sen. Roy Blunt. Since when did the Executive Branch control the House? IF the republicans cave, blink or give in on this..Obama will deem himself to be untouchable for the next 3 yrs.

[dfwgator]

History will show that Cruz is clearly in the right.

The Old GOP is on its’ last legs. They will be on the ash heap of history.
