It is because of the likes David Brooks and his phony, elitist fellow travellers that we desparately need Ted Cruz and more like him.

"They want to stop things. And so theyre just being they just want to obstruct. LMBO!!
Another Democrat scumbag is concerned that a Republican is trying to "obstruct" the progress of the communist agenda.
Oh, heaven forfend!
To: Sparticus
And Ted Cruz . . . doesnt have an idea that hes going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances, and he is going to pass a lot of legislation . . . Theyre not normal members of Congress. Theyre not legislators. They want to stop things. And so theyre just being they just want to obstruct. Oh, dear! Cruz isn't there to expand the size of government? How could any sensible person support him?

The House Republican Tea Party types are running against the Republican establishment. You gotta give it to Dave, he's a deep thinker, isn't he? Yeah, Dave, they are, and this is the reason:
[Cruz] doesnt have an idea that hes going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances, and he is going to pass a lot of legislation.
Bingo. Because we don't want a "lot of legislation" passed, Dave, the country and our society are being choked to death with regulation. It isn't a matter of which flavor of bigger government we get. We don't want it at all. What we want is a smaller, less ubiquitous government that taxes us less. What we want is a less racist, redistributive, and oppressive government. What we want is our freedom back.
Dave, he just doesn't get it.
To: Sparticus
Ted Cruz is running against Republicans in the Senate. The House Republican Tea Party types are running against the Republican establishment. Thats how theyre raising money. Thats where theyre spending their money on ads. And so theyre having a very obstructive role which is going on this week, and I think its going to make John Boehners life even more difficult."Yes! Yes! David speaks the truth! He's speaking the words that come from my heart! It's so hard, it's so hard!"

I was fortunate to live in Texas during his election and am proud I sent him to the Senate.
Mr. Brooks can pound sand.

I’ve been saying since early 2010 that the “tea party” is a hostile takeover of the Republican Party— a takeover long overdue.

To: Billthedrill
David Brooks inadvertently makes the case for conservatives to support Ted Cruz and any Republican that bucks the GOP establishment. A political party that has betrayed conservative principles and supported officeholders that have blatantly ignored the wishes of constituents. As America, like a runaway train, races toward a socialist abyss, people like Ted Cruz are standing in the way and trying to divert it. Brooks' disdain of Ted Cruz actually validates the effectiveness of the Tea Party politicians who are trying to turn the tide and pull the GOP back to First Principles. I hope David Brooks is even more upset with the GOP in the near future.

heaven help us if we should actually be governed by the real constitution

Shouldn’t Brooks be sniffing obama’s pant-leg, or whatever the heck he does with his free time?

Brooks insists the motives of Cruz are less about legislation and policy and more about the politics of undermining the Republican establishment. Hey Dave, it called a pendulum. And it's about finished the swing in your direction. I'd suggest you get used to this. We ARE taking OUR country back!
