I'm not going to argue with liberal Republicans. If they are in the way of Conservatism, I just want them gone.

I would love to politically destroy the liberal GOP-E. I work hard to do that.

Cornyn and Strauss need to lose their office. I aim to help make that happen. Cornyn has proven to me that he won't listen to the base. His cloture vote to allow unlimited raising of the debt by the executive got him a lot of phone calls, and scathing e-mails from many conservatives, including me. Then, apparently, his mailbox and message center did the 'spin, crash, burn, die' thing. Same thing for supporting Cruz filibuster.

I don't want to 'work with him' I want him to lose his office. I don't need a liberal in there.

He'd listen to a base that forces him to listen.

He turned his phone center and email off.

You can't make someone listen if they won't listen.

Nope, Cornyn gets fired just like Dewhurst got fired. I don't want to bring him over, I want him gone. So do a lot of other folks.

And we've got a long time to arrange that.

I’m waiting for the articles saying Cruz is just like every other politician. Getting bought off by the big lobbys, big oil, Koch Brothers, etc.

Your $100 and the hundreds of thousands like you and me won’t get mentioned.

Every self-proclaimed political sophisticate two weeks ago: “Ted Cruz has no chance of winning the Republican primary! Harrumph! Harrumph!”

Did anybody really say that?

Did anybody really deny that he could win at least one primary -- probably more?

Winning against the Democrat, though, that could be tough for Ted.

If all it takes to thwart your effort is unplugging a phone, then you’re not doing it right. Don’t ask him to listen...force him to listen. Apply real political pressure.

Do you think the left would have taken over the Democrat party if they were stopped by unplugged phones?

Then you come control your boy and make him listen. Thousands in Texas did a lot of work on the ground, with phone and door knocking volunteers but he ignored us.

As far as I'm concerned, he needs to be fired. I don't care if the liberal Republicans get fired or not. I'm not a republican, even if I take advantage of their love for open primaries.

I'm very glad that Dewhurst is gone. That's one GOP-E favorite that needed gone. One of the guys that endorsed Dewhurst was Perry, and Perry is gone from Texas politics now, too.

Right, you’re not a Republican, yet the existence of the Republican party is a necessary condition for the election of your preferred presidential candidate. I guess that’s principled of you, or something.

As for keeping RINOs in line, it’s all of our responsibility to control politicians who don’t represent our viewpoint. If thousands of people knocking on doors doesn’t work, then let’s find something that does work.

I’m just saying let’s not roll over and accept the premise that we can’t do something about our situation. Rather than accept defeat and resort to passive defeatist tactics like staying home or voting for leftists, let’s man up and be salient and impose our will on the situation.

I intend to do something about it. Getting rid of Cornyn is very important, and he'll wind up like Dewhurst.

I never accept the premise of those that would try to get conservatives to vote for a leftist republican candidate.

No rolling over here. We just didn't start early enough with Cornyn. We got an early start this time.

I know getting rid of Dewhurst didn't happen overnight either. He's another one that chose to ignore the base, but the GOP-E loved him. He's fired here now.

Strauss and Cornyn are next.

Beloved by the GOP-E and not listen to the base means firing them.
