Cruz is just another politician. He has already stabbed us in the back on amnesty, and the more secure his power becomes, the more he’ll vote with the leftards.

One writer criticizes Ted Cruz for being a limelight seeking opportunist and the next skeptically dismisses Cruz as a non-entity.

The important thing, is that all these people are talking about Ted Cruz.

My bias: I support Ted Cruz and I accept the premise laid down by Michael Walsh:

The party in D.C. will go on, spending like there’s no tomorrow because, in fact, there is no tomorrow. And then it will stop.

Accepting that premise, the only question which remains is how do we shape the "culture" to accept the charisma offered by Ted Cruz on the assumption, contrary to poster dsc that Ted Cruz will sell us out and indeed has already sold us out. My reply is that if Ted Cruz ain't your man, you have no man and you have no hope. Either we go with Cruz and Mike Lee or we stay with what we have which is Groundhog Day and the flat-out insanity of repeating the inputs over and over again expecting different results

J. Christian Adams addresses the issue head-on: will the Ronald Reagan message sell again or are the Rinos correct and we have to go along to get along? The answer is clear, if we go along,

there is no tomorrow. And then it will stop.

Whether a bareknuckle conservative message can still win elections is an argument that is rendering the Republican Party in twain but it is to me perfectly clear after the experience of the Bush administration with Republican majorities in both Houses that unless we have a bareknuckle conservative government we will have no tomorrow.

So the argument about winning or losing on conservative values is moot, if we don't win on those values we lose anyway.

And when did he do that?

You are full of crap. Cruz hasn't stabbed us in the back on amnesty.

Cruz has never stabbed us in the back on amnesty. He is the best thing going for us on the Right.

I don’t recall Cruz ever favoring amnesty or voting for the left Dems/RINOs proposals.

I see you’ve been here on FR for many years, but that posting comes across like something a far left troll would make.

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

You're confusing Senator Cruz with Senators Paul and Rubio.

Each of which, have their own Amnesty plans.
