Sen. Cruz is correct.

The EXEMPT GOP has no interest in honestly
defending the American People who elected them.

We have allot of good people, but the “leadership” is the problem.

RE:”Sen. Ted Cruz blamed Republican leaders Tuesday for his party's failing strategy to overturn President Barack Obama’s immigration actions, arguing that if they had listened to him and more forcefully confronted Obama they would be succeeding. “

I was listening to Rush go on about Scott Walker again last week and he pointed out that conservatives will overlook some positions Walker takes because they want a proven winner who has shown himself able to take Dems on , fight them , and win.

That Walker doesn't blame WI Republicans for failure to beat Dems on policies.

Of all the potential Republican presidential candidates only Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have stood up against Obama in Washington. That is, they have gone to the floor of the Senate and opposed Obama by filibuster. Scott Walker has opposed the Democrats within his orbit and he deserves to be counted with Cruz and Paul on this score.

Ted Cruz is on the verge of making it clear that Republicans must step on one side of a demarcation or the other. Either they are in the establishment Camp or they are in a conservative revolt against the establishment. With these kinds of public statements, Ted Cruz is laying down a marker to the rest of the Senate: they will no longer be able to fudge these issues. We now see just how treacherous Orin Hatch is, how deceitful his protestations of conservatism were in his last election campaign and we will see whether other supposedly conservative senators like Mike Espe of Wyoming choose Rino-ism or conservatism.

Ted Cruz deserves our deepest respect for exposing himself to ostracism in the Senate and ridicule in the media. He is a Goldwater in the finest sense. Few indeed are men of principle who will stand before the nation and tell the truth at the cost of their own image. The world's greatest deliberative body for the most part is populated on the Republican side with cowards. But the blame is not theirs alone; it is to be shared by by the American electorate which through ignorance, indifference, self-seeking, and sheer gullibility have put these week people in charge of their children's destiny.

Ted Cruz has elevated these questions to the level of patriotism. These issues are not matters of politics anymore but of national survival.

Patriotic conservatives who understand that these issues are existential are watching the politics play out in the Senate. Many of us hold realistic anxiety that politics will prevail over patriotism in the Senate and in the House.

When it does, we will renew our please on this forum and elsewhere for Article V.

I wasn’t aware that they even had a strategy.

Good for Ted. What the GOPe does not seem to fathom is that we need to play “hard ball” with the dems. They will pretend to be “reaching out” and such, but behind their backs, they will be “punking” us.

Cruz is the only potential 2016 candidate that has shown a willingness to stand for the rule of law, American sovereignty and the citizens. The “leadership” of the GOP has all been bought off by the Chamber of Cheap Labor. If we don’t elect a President who WILL enforce the laws, then we will lose our country. Fraudulently Documented Foreigners are NOT immigrants.

Amnesty is national suicide.
