Sen. Ted Cruz fanned the flames of right-wing rebellion Thursday, telling thousands of activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference that they are being betrayed by Republican leaders in Congress over immigration.

The Texas Republican, who is running in the middle of presidential polls, also sent a clear message to the rest of the field that he is still a favorite of the grass-roots activists who populate the country’s largest annual conservative gathering, and signaled that he would fight to claim the conservative mantle in the presidential nomination race.

A trio of governors pondering White House bids also addressed CPAC.

I see... get the troops all delusional.. imagining victory.. in a metaphorical sense..
America is high on pot -or- something else..
Diddling each other and aborting the products..
while cashing their givernment checks..

TOTALLY ignoring massive voter fraud.. run away illegal insurgency..
AND the a virtual traitor in the White House aided by republican "bitches" running BOTH houses of Congress..

And the Supremes operating on the level of Judge Roy Bean..
"arresting", "looting", "convicting" and hanging the american taxpayer..
i.e. Obama-Care is just a tax..

make a good comedy IF it wasn't REALITY...
OH!... and terrorists are merely "freedom fighters"..

............ATOMIC DUUUUGH!..
