Chris McDaniel: Establishment Wrongly Attacking Ted Cruz, Rand Paul as ‘Extremist’
Breitbart ^ | 4/13/2015 | Chris McDaniel

Posted on 04/13/2015 3:22:53 PM PDT by VinL

Those of us who follow the tenets of conservatism know the tired, worn-out campaign catchwords and phrases well: extremist, radical, fanatic, zealot, racist, arsonist.

And the sad part is that most of these insults originate not from Democrats but from our fellow Republicans, who engender despicable primary disputes, making the Left’s job much easier in general elections.

This is precisely why Ronald Reagan crafted his famous 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.

Reagan, however, was not implying that we should never criticize or even challenge other Republicans, as he himself challenged a sitting GOP President in 1976, only that we should refrain from the kind of harsh and vile attack lines that Democrats utilize against us.

Although the 2016 presidential race is more than a year away, anti-conservative mudslinging is already in full swing. Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign was minutes old when the establishment piled on him with full force and vigor, with the essence of their assaults being that he was too extreme to win the nomination or the general election. And when Senator Rand Paul announced his candidacy, he too was immediately ridiculed. [snip]

"With such vile accusations, it appears some of our fellow Republicans would prefer to see a Democrat in office rather than those who follow conservative principles without apology."

Yep.

If they can’t get their candidate elected (someone they can control), they would rather have a left wing kook in the presidency. They fear a true conservative because they fear they will lose the power they think they would have with a RINO. They are no better than the left wing kooks. They need to be defeated.

Death throes of those within the “party” who see their gravy train drying up. GTFO of the Republican party and join with your socialist/agenda 21 buddies in the dem party.

The very same establishment that ran the scam in Mississippi on the author is trying clear the way for Jebster. The Cheap Labor Express has paid for an amnesty candidate and the RNC will deliver one if they can.
The only way to stop them is coalesce early behind ONE candidate.

CRUZ TO VICTORY OR GET BUSHED !

Well, if you have voiced support for these men’s beliefs, or the products of their efforts, who knows? I sure don’t.

Cruz is right. The Constitution is over public opinion and the reason why we have some of this public opinion is because people do not have any idea what the country stands for. Perfect example was the religious freedom law in IN.

People actually think homosexuals have more rights than what the country was founded on.
