It’s over, rats

Senator Cruz certainly shows that he has the qualities conservatives are looking for in the Republican Party. Could this be the start of new Republican leadership? We - the voters, supporters, campaign workers, door knockers, etc. - will have to decide if we want it to happen. If we have a leadership we can support than we have to step up an be counted.

The RNC has been calling daily. I don’t answer the call.

The GOP makes we want to puke these days with likes of McCain “leading” it.

...this should be the end of Senator John McCain as a voice of influence...

But then I thought that happened before and was sadly proven wrong.

[Lancey Howard]

...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.

Speaking of Miss Lindsey, anybody else notice she hasn't been seen much lately?

Great article! Very positive about the future of conservativism.

[Irenic]

Holy cow! That was great!

After spending over forty years as a registered Republican, I cut myself loose from that pathetic bunch of eunuchs and registered last year as a Conservative. Guys like Ted Cruz, God Bless him, just may bring me back!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

There is no reason to think the Tea Party, if properly organized and harnessed, cannot be even more potent next year than it was in 2010, especially now that its members know the government really was out to get them.

I won't hold my breath for 2014, but by 2016, yes...the old GOPe machine should be gone. I know the democrats are having themselves a wet dream at our internal GOP civil war, but if real democrats did the same to the progressives who have co-opted their party and they got back to representing the real hopes and dreams of AMERICANS, they too will have a civil war on their hands.

Harry Reid, calling them Tea Party Anarchists. What's a matter Harry, do they scare you more than OWS? Does it scare you the Tea Party accomplished more in less than 6 years...than all the decades it has taken the progressives to get where they are now?

And make no mistake, the Tea Party has made inroads into a derelict government very quickly and we can make the same inroads into the culture to restore Freedom. We can do it, but will we choose to be the 'silent majority no more?'

Graham is in danger of being primaried. Like McCain, he needs to go. There’s absolutely no reason whatsoever that a milquetoast like Graham should represent a state as solidly conservative as SC is.

[workerbee]

conservatives understand that rather than form a third party, their only hope is to seize control of the corrupt, rotting hulk of the GOP,

Had me til here.

When the GOR-elite RINOs are tossed out forever, I "may" consider registering R.

No party affiliation from me until then, and certainly not a dime of support.

He’s got it all right.

Great article. Too bad we did not have someone to primary Inhofe. But we are stuck with him. He is a reliable vote in the end but we need new blood in the mold of Cruz. Maybe next time. I am done with the old GOP...our hope is with the likes of Cruz, Bridenstine, Louie Gohmert (sp), and others. May God continue to send us men and women willing to fight to save America.

[JennysCool]

the deleterious effects of Obamacare, just now being felt by the population, are the most vivid proof of the failure of Progressivism that conservatives could wish for.

Yup. One thing we know from long experience about the libs is that they always overreach. Ever since yesterday's news stories detailing just how much Obamacare is going to cost individual Americans, the dullard low-info voters, who thought the whole thing was going to be FREE for godsake, have begun paying shocked attention.

[freedomfiter2]

McCain? Graham? I think I remember those guys Are they still alive?

[freedomfiter2]

Now is the time for all Conservatives to get behind 1 candidate for 2016.

What we have here is the opening battle for control of the GOP, yeah Cruz wants to defund Ocaire, but he knows that is not going to happen, but this “fight” will plainly draws the lines between the GOPe and conservatives. Which is why I am on Cruz’s side even thou I know OCaire will not be defunded.

[editor-surveyor]

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

I suspect not.
