"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
 
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792
 
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

It would be so surreal to have a real conservative as President again....1988.....Reagan’s last year...

...

...

a 28 year drought.

“...Kondik, who noted that both parties have detoured with non-establishment candidates in the past and lost — the Republicans in 1964 with Barry Goldwater and Democrats in 1972 with George McGovern.”

And Obama was not an extreme candidate who greatly appealed to the extreme leftist base? How is Obama different than Cruz in this specific regard?

What, no mention of Reagan and when this path won? Ah, yes, he was only the most successful presidency of the past 80 years, bar none, with two landslide victories.

Any leftist that questions his “natural born” qualifications needs to be answered with a simple

punch in the mouth.

If all of our conservative groups, and individuals with media access like Rush, Levin, Beck and Hannity, mount a united effort to get Cruz into the White House, his could be a formidable campaign.

Float Ted Cruz’s Tea Party boat to send the Kenyan back to Kenya in 2016.

“both parties have detoured with non-establishment candidates in the past and lost — the Republicans in 1964 with Barry Goldwater and Democrats in 1972 with George McGovern.”

Vapid.

Bush, Dole, McCain, W (compare his victories with all the Bush backing to Reagan, who even won NY)

The establishment candidates are not working for the GOP, unless the writer’s point is that the GOP should stick to what they’re used to, which is what they’ve been doing. They might enjoy being in the minority and not having a GoP prez.

Cruz will be running against the, as well. But nothing will surprise him.

As if BO was not obviously a lying leftist.

RINO’s see themselves as kinder, gentler, Dons, and we are the peons.

Bush did not use “peon,” rather, he disguised that with “Americans who won’t do certain jobs;” though there were his occasional bashing of Americans who try to protect their property from border incursions - where he called us “vigilantes.”

Bush is not a conservative and is certainly a RINO. He chose RINO Richard Riordan to support in the 2002 race for governor of California, and as to be expected, when Riordan lost the primary to conservative Bill Simon, Bush & Cronies, Inc. (read: “the RNC”) dropped some support that Bill Simon could have used.

Bashing and abandoning conservatives, is the way of the RINO clique that mostly wants certain lower costs, such as labor and taxes, but otherwise glad-handed-ly swoons for compromising nationalizing socialism under the controls of “bi-partisan central planners.”

The property rights of those most high, now that is important for them, but our many Constitutional rights and former opportunities *because we had rights* ... those matters do not register with the most high whose cash flows insulate them, but not thee.

Bash for Cash

I miss conservatives, but not Bush, and I do not long for The Return of The Dons - while various (and millions) of illegal aliens apparently care less.
