Cruz's leadership PAC, Jobs Growth and Freedom Fund, "made only five donations in the first six months of its existence, and all of those dollars went to incumbents."

What's wrong, your guy Rand "Amnesty" Paul not getting any traction?

When the Republican establishment was backing his 2012 primary opponent, Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, the Senate Conservatives Fund and several other organizations like them put their money on Cruz.

Cruz doesn't owe the GOP-E anything.

However...

The Senate Conservative Rep. Com., to my knowledge, have NOT been totally supportive of incumbents. That is the group Senator DeMint used to chair. I was on the mailing list for them and they did not support incumbents unless they were conservative ones. There are other groups int he Senate that sound similar, but the group DeMint lead was strictly for conservatives.

Cruz is a divider?

Really?

John McCain divided the entire Republican Party and united the Democratic Party voting for Schumer and his Destroy America Amnesty.

THAT is the real truth

Ted Cruz is the hope of the Republican Party. He can bring in a whole new generation of people, win them away from the cynicism and immorality of the Democrats.

You can always tell who the other side - and the pieces of sh*t RINOS on our side - hate by how quickly and how viciously they go after them.

For example, Sarah Palin - she drove them out of their minds - and still does - so they attack her relentlessly to drive down the opinion of her in the minds of those folks not aware of the what’s really going on.

Same with Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, LtC Alan West, etc.

By their actions, they show us who they fear and consider a threat.

Guys like McCain, Graham, etc., are Useful Idiots, and do their assigned tasks dutifully; that’s why they’re not considered threats.

I guess KBH is furious at all the attention Ted gets compared to her profile.

DeMint is a big backer of Lindsey Graham, or has he switched on that? That’s why I don’t pay much attention to DeMint.

Did Goldwater later apologize for that statement? Most Republicans run away from strong stands.
