Heh. Too funny to pass up, and sadly apt given the Mittster’s “the president exudes an air of likability and friendliness, which is endearing” nonsense.
Cruz said that conservatives failed to make their case to the American people, leaving Romney no choice but to move toward the president. “We didn’t win the argument, we didn’t even make the argument” throughout much of 2012, Cruz said.
But in the first debate, he argued, that changed.
“It was the one time we actually contested ideas, presented two viewpoints and directions for the country,” he said. “And then inevitably, there are these mandarins of politics, who give the voice: ‘Don’t show any contrasts. Don’t rock the boat.’ So by the third debate, I’m pretty certain Mitt Romney actually French-kissed Barack Obama.
“I have no doubt that there is a focus group somewhere of undecided Ohio voters who have been living in a cave for the last 30 years, who decided they liked that,” Cruz continued. “‘Don’t show any disagreement whatsoever with the president. Don’t rock the boat. Just be a nice guy.’”
[...]
Cruz said centrist strategies were doomed to fail Republicans, who should instead focus on a simple motto: “Our ideas work. Theirs don’t.”
I can’t disagree with any of that. Senator-elect Cruz, like Governor Palin, tells it like it is and isn’t one to make nice with those on the Left who are hell-bent on turning American into an also-ran. Democrat-lite loses every time it’s tried, and those in the GOP Establishment who continue to argue for that approach must be ignored if the Republican Party is to survive.
Conservatism didn’t lose on November 6th, it wasn’t even advocated. Ted Cruz has a “Palinesque” knack for using humor to get his point across. The more I learn about him, the more I like the guy. The Governor hit a home run with her “game-changing” endorsement of Cruz in his race against the GOPe’s preferred candidate, David Dewhurst.
Oh good....another thread to hate on Romney.
“That ground game was voter fraud on a scale...”
Republican turnout falls off forever, out of a sense that the demons will turn out over 100% of registered voters/receive up to 100% of that vote/kick out poll watchers/punks in front of the polling places/bus in scum from other states with fake utility bills/press button for Repub and vote goes to Obama...
Fraud shall be augmented by millions of Repubs/right-leaning independents never voting again because “voting doesn’t matter; the demons will offset my vote plus another with fraudulent votes.”
Some Republicans will even stay home because they fear that the machine will record them voting the other way. To the extent that happens it’s truly better not to vote.

Any grassroots type who made the mistake of traveling to Tampa could even see it in their eyes.
“Our ideas work. Theirs don’t.”
Didn’t Zero say the exact same thing in a speech?
You can’t run a Mr. Nice Guy campaign against Chicago thug liars and cheats. Going forward, if we are to ever win back the presidency, the media has to be totally ignored and treated as irrelevant.
