Thinking we're a bully is a qualifier in some circles. It's consistant with the apology tour.

“What good does it do to try to diminish Palin’s role in it.”

I’m with you and chuckles on that!

Texan here. Just anecdotal, but I got ten to twelve rather fair-weather Republican voters to show up at the primary and vote for Cruz, based entirely on Palin’s endorsement. They were not going to bother with voting in the primary up until I informed them about this.

Cruz is the most articulate American politician I have ever heard.

Cruz is harder for the lefties to take on, in part because of his formal education. Palin doesn’t have that going for her. But she is the best stump speaker I have ever heard and has the common touch. Each of them is unafraid to confront the left, and Cruz owes nothing to nobody in Texas except the people who voted for him and maybe his Dad. Cruz is a chip off the old block, because his Dad is just as smart.

Cruz gives me hope. Hagel is a manchurian cur. His appointment must be denied. Poor Sam Nunn must have been blackmailed into sponsoring this nomination.

Hagel, like most congresscritters, just wants to keep his job and retire with all the perks and privileges that are denied to the common citizen.

That whole congressional system needs a total makeover i.e. term limits.

By what definition could Hagel be considered a Republican? What single Republican position does Hagel support?

I'm thinking he's a Powell-wing Republican.

I don’t think he’ll be easily intimidated. Hope not anyway, we need people like him speaking out!

“Jesse Helms still my all time favorite RIP”

Grew up listening to this great patriot on WRAL news out of Raleigh, telling the the dangers of the world being taken over by communists and homosexuals. There will never be a greater friend of liberty and justice. There will never be another Senator No. Long live the memory of this great American.

“Next to Ronald Reagan, Jesse Helms is the most important conservative of the last 25 years. No conservative, save Reagan, comes close to matching Helms’ influence on American politics and policy in the quarter-century since he won a Senate seat in North Carolina.” —Fred Barnes (Fox News analyst)
