After his disgraceful attacks on Cruz, including his reach-across-the-aisle, dog-in-the-manger response today, this should be the end of Senator John McCain as a voice of influence in the Republican party. Ditto his mini-me, Senator Lindsey Graham.

In a just world. I wish sometimes we lived in one. McShit isn't going to leave until he croaks.

I honestly have not received one form of communication from the GOP in, probably, seven years. Right about then, I started writing "CLOSE THE BORDER" with a big, black marker over every fundraising mailer they sent me and sending it back to them.

I did that about ten times and they've never called me or sent me another thing since.

I would really welcome nothing more than a phone call from those *&^$%%rs.

We now have a two Party System, the Tea Party and the Communist Party.

America’s Senator Ted Cruz is the titular head of the Tea Party. He just doesn’t know it yet.

I hope he’s right because it sure made me feel good to read the article.

The GOP is dead as a door nail and will never return to power in America: —and they want it that way. Innovation, collaboration, communication: that is what will rescue the Republic with leadership from Cruz, Rand P, Sarah P, etc. We reached now very early days of the revolution for the second republic.

The cost of the insurance premiums will heave the entire government out onto the streets — worse than the $5 gasoline. We cannot pay. No money.

[The decline began with GHW Bush.]

You are so right. The go-along-to-get-along moderates/RINO’s have taken over the party machinery. Methinks the GOPe is into politics not for the good of the Nation, {as Conservatives are} but for personal monetary or ego driven gain.
Many politicians just want to be on the stage in the limelight and will take any side/position just to stay there.

[Islander2]

[The problem with the McCains and Bushes, et al is that they’re simply part of the ruling class, each waiting his turn to steer the Leviathan’s teat toward their cronies and manage the federal apparatus and apparatchniks as they will.]

Thanks for stating the problem so accurately. This is exactly what I think most of us are thinking as well.

[TLI]

We now have a two Party System, the Tea Party and the Communist Party.

Outstanding description.

America’s Senator Ted Cruz is the titular head of the Tea Party. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Sen. Cruz is drawing the blueprint for Conservatism for the next one hundred years.

[Resolute Conservative]

I sent them an invoice a couple years ago for all the money I have wasted in them. They have not called or mailed me since.

[neverdem]

There’s absolutely no reason whatsoever that a milquetoast like Graham should represent a state as solidly conservative as SC is.

IIRC, there is. It's called an open primary.

[cynwoody]

Does anyone at National Rescrew understand the difference between tea party and The TEA Party?

I suspect not.

With which of his bullet points do you disagree?
