They don’t care about the actual politics of anything, except inasfar as it benefits their bank account, and their continued ride on the gravy train. If they can’t get a fellow GOPe elected to the Rainbow Hut, then another rat will do, but a sincere conservative would upset the gravy train for all of them.

I wish someone who could find out, would be bothered to do it. I can’t imagine who that would be, in this media climate. There are no more Woodward and Bernsteins, they’ve all sold out, now that their heroes are the establishment.

Wonder I’d McConnell is paying the Huffington post or vice versa.

The Huffpo was bought out by the DNC.

We could have been doing it, our problem is that we don’t control any of what is considered the “mainstream media”, not taxpayer-funded NPR. All our internet sources are dismissed from the leftist-controlled cabal of the “mainstream”.

McConnell and a few others probably want to freeze Ted out so they can carry on with their double-dealing and lies and charades without anyone telling the truth about those closed door meetings.

True to an extent, but I don’t think any conservative media outlets other than Rush and Levin and a few other talkers have made it a practice to label leftists the way so many of their outlets label conservatives. We could do more of it.

It has often seemed that we had a senator whose full name was Firebrand Ted Cruz, that has been used so often.

Yah, and Tom Cotton is “bombastic”.

Wonder how those asshats describe Harry R,
Nancy P, Chuckie S, Dickie D, and Maxine W?

look at McCain right in there sucking up to McConnell.

I've often posted that people forget government is a generational thing. The old men who were young men in the '60s and early '70s are giving way to the young men of the Reagan era. And they don't like it a bit.

No, it was never NOT DNC. You don’t recall its liberal blog beginnings.

Literally? If so McConnell is their best buddy next to Boehner.

Now why would LEFTISTS object to a Republican shining light on corrupt backroom dealing, unless the Leftists and the GOPe are on the same team?

Mark Levin called Cruz’ speech “iconic.” I’ve never heard a member of either party expose corrupt leadership practices on the Senate floor.

Cruz to victory!

Right. The thing is Ted Cruz has made similar speeches on the Senate floor over the last couple of years, which is why I came to support him. Finally, this one got noticed.
