"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

Cruz just moved up in my opinion poll. Not at the top yet, but he just might be getting there.

This guy is truly a wonderful example.

May God protect him and his family.

I campaigned for him. Worked the phones for him. Donated Money.
Voted for him, needless to say.
AND
I Am Not Disappointed!

After what Bonehead & Turtlehead have done, Cruz is one of the few republicans I trust these days!

Cruz is the best & he sticks to his conservative views. I live in WI & voted for Walker for gov. 3 x but he saw those Iowa farmers and Ag co.execs and caved on removing the ethanol mandate.

Cruz is not afraid

His Constitutional based, limited government principles are more important to him.

Cruz manned up, and told the truth. Walker blew it.

Somewhere, Karl Rove is laughing and sneering at Cruz's straightforward news and lack of guile.

Tick, tick, tick, Karl. Wait for it, your time is approaching.

This issue is a very good test of a candidate. Cruz shows he means business. Walker caves.

Consistent with expectations.

Erratum: Spell**cker error for "straightforwardness" [just tried to do it twice more] ..... I'm starting to get really irked with these things.

Go Ted!

Yessir...it was Walker or Cruz for me, but Cruz just one the day. It does not make sense to grow corn for fuel and Walker should know that.

Even some of the Greenies are realizing that Ethanol is a bad idea. Uses way more water than other crops, huge energy input to turn it into fuel, and IIRC after all of the processing along the way the CO2 released is a net increase compared to gasoline.
