Good and I never criticized Palin’s kids.

But lots of people have done both, probably more against Mrs. Cruz.

Look, I didn’t go over there but I understand the temptation for Cruz supporters.

It wasn’t anti-Free Republic. It was for a peaceful place where one could say good things about Cruz and not be berated and abused.

Fortunately, I don’t mind being berated and abused because I can give as good as I get, probably better.

I don’t see a solution as long as the posts are not vulgar or personally abusive.

I would be in favor of banning ignorance but ....

I firmly believe that Ted Cruz is more electable on a national level than Trump.

Trump is an idol here but I’ve run into too many people in the ‘real world’ who cannot stand him to the point that I don’t think they would vote for him.

Many of those posts were nasty and abusive if you check it out.

Cruz isn’t talked about as much as bashing people here, including bad remarks about JR.

What are you talking about?

That other site?

I was invited but I chose not to go because I was leery about going to an alternate site.

Are you sure of what you say? Because those seemed like nice people.

I loathe McCain and have for decades but I campaigned for him and Romney after the primaries were done. I then voted for both. A poor player at the table is better than fetching drinks.

So, I want you to take a look at this, and consider the result. You loathed McStain (as do I) and possibly Romney too. Most likely, you are like many of us who felt as though the 2 of them were not Conservatives, but hey, they were better than obunghole, right? So, you voted for two despicable, non-Conservatives, which really, truly only accomplishes one thing: Pushing the party further and further to the left. Sure, McStains a RINO lefty in disguise, but that "R" next to his name obviously makes him better than obunghole, right? See, that's been my issue all along. I'll be voting for Trump, or in my case, caucusing for Trump, come March 1st. If Cruz is the ultimate nominee, I will vote for him. I will NOT, however, vote for any other nominee, such as Rubio, Christy, Yeb, et al. simply because there is an "R" next to their name.

Post #535. That is an example of how important it was for some Cruz supporters to have a place to go and pretend there is no real reality.

My gut feeling from the beginning was that it was organized. Now I know it is.

The dirty dozen plus 2.

Probably paid for and organized by the same thugs who control NR and the left wing mediots.

Trump has the Gope elite and their enternet thugs scared that they will be out of a job this time next year.

Time will tell but it is running out for Cruz. He needs to learn some salesmanship instead of debating and lawyering. AND the techniques the Cruz supporters used on FR didn’t change one mind -I will wager.

We generally agree and I fought against McCain and Romney trough out the primaries. Still we didn’t get a seat at table. Oh and BTW we owe Obama to Operation Chaos. Lesson, conservatives spent a great deal of time and energy (including myself) fighting against some thing rather than fighting for something.

I visited the quite lame other site to see what the fuss was about. Mainly, the posters want to be appreciated for their superior intellectual take on conservatism. Hurt feelings all around and just general griping for abuses suffered from FR bullies who disagree with their choice of Cruz for pres.

Yep that is their MO superior crybabies. They are not conservatives at all, conservatives act like adults and use reason to advance their cause, these are children going whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... and probably a few GOPee and democrat plants/moles to cause trouble at FR.

Not a conservative among them.

“Short on facts, but loaded with emotion, and ugly accusations and assertions.”

Agree. It’s very sad.

Two days ago there was an orgy of hatred poured out on Palin’s head. Then they took up Track. I don’t go on every Trump/Cruz thread but I’ve never seen the level of hared poured out towards Cruz’s wife as what happened here the other day to Sarah. It was concentrated.

act like adults and use reason

Reason has nothing to do with what has been going on here.

>>What the “Consistent Conservatives” don’t get is that we are in a war with the Marxist globalists and we are at war with Islam and we are losing both wars. The country needs a leader that is unabashedly an American first. A leader that will defend America, rebuild the military, secure the border, defend Christianity, bring back manufacturing jobs and deport illegals. Prior to Trump getting in, NO ONE was talking about any of these things. NO ONE.
If we do not fix immigration this election cycle the country is done, the constitution is dead and we the people are screwed. That is why we the people are getting behind Trump. It got zero to do with right/left. It’s survival.

I guess is Phyllis Schlafly is not a conservative either. Trump is ‘last hope for America’. Some people can see the forest thru the trees others like these “Consistent Conservatives” can’t.

I hope Cruz supporters read this again and again and again, with the hope that your words of TRUTH will SINK IN.

This is IT for America. This nation is either going to be rescued and restored by Patriot Trump or it’s done.

TRUMP = LAST HOPE FOR AMERICA
(and pray, pray, and pray TPTB don’t “JFK” him first)

Give it a break, you are taking advantage of JR and us.

What the hell is wrong with you.

Don’t you know, your bs just makes us stronger for Trump. None of us believe your bs and pettiness.

If you have any decency, walk away!

“He even spent several months without a party before returning to the Republican fold in April 2012.”

Oh, the horror of it!

I spent from last January until now without a party after Boohoo was voted in again.

That only makes me more conservative than the GOP.

I think you need to excuse yourself from the party. It smells like you have crapped your pants.
