Your post #7 should be published in a pamphlet and air-dropped all over town.
Cruz is a fool because he depended on Repubs to be true to principles they don’t have.
Well, that’s fine. I’d rather have a fool like Cruz on my side than 500 faithless ciphers who believe in nothing and fight only for their rice bowl.
Better a man who will fight against all odds, a man who didn’t come looking for 99 new friends, than all of the shape-shifters arrayed against him. That’s a man whose life will actually mean something in the end. As far as I’m concerned, the GOP is dead. Cruz and the tiny handful like him, they are my party.
Cruz knows he has few allies today amongst the GOPe, that's not the point. The point is he has made the call to those of us who know that our job is to get rid of as many GOPe types as we can and replace them with those who are more in line with Cruz in 2014. Cruz is Winston Churchill circa 1934.
