Yep. They're crooks and charlatans, but not fools.

After Ted Cruz serves 8 years as POTUS I don't think he wants to become a judge.
Cruz also has a good chance of winning the nomination and the general, I don't think we're getting a full blown RINO as the nominee this time, even if it's not Cruz.
I’ve said for months that I think Gov Moonbeam will throw his hat in the ring. Maybe Fauxohauntus will be his VP running mate.
Is she already turning hispanic?
Some liberal tried to tar Ted Cruz for a fancied resemblance to Sen. Joe McCarthy, especially the eyes.
All that did was add to my list of reasons why I admire Ted Cruz & want to see him elected President.
Warren is a bitter COMMUNIST. Spend just a little time reading about her. It will make you cringe if it doesn’t make you deathly sick.
Read a little of her book about two income families. She is terribly confused and bitter. It stems from her father’s heart attack, subsequent loss of job, her mother and her working to make ends meet etc.
Her warped ideas are where obongo got his “You didn’t earn that.” ideas for 2012.
From Wikipedia:
On September 14, 2011, Warren declared her intention to run for the Democratic nomination for the 2012 election in Massachusetts for the United States Senate. The seat had been won by Republican Scott Brown in a 2010 special election after the death of Ted Kennedy.[41][42] A week later, a video of Warren speaking in Andover became popular on the internet.[43] In it, Warren replies to the charge that asking the rich to pay more taxes is “class warfare,” pointing out that no one grew rich in America without depending on infrastructure paid for by the rest of society, stating:[44][45]
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. ... You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
From a National Review story her comments of just a week or so ago about what progressivism means. She may as well have been standing front of a cuban flag.
- “We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we’re willing to fight for it.”
- “We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth.”
- “We believe that the Internet shouldn’t be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality.”
- “We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage.”
- “We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them.”
- “We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt.”
- “We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions.”
- “We believe—I can’t believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work.”
- “We believe that equal means equal, and that’s true in marriage, it’s true in the workplace, it’s true in all of America.”
- “We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform.”
- “And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!”
And the main tenet of conservatives’ philosophy, according to Warren? “I got mine. The rest of you are on your own.”
It is a shame she was born in Oklahoma but every family has its problems doesn’t it? She sure didn’t get much of the value system from there it is clear.
She needs to be destroyed. Instead she will probably prosper. At least she is 65 and shouldn’t live much longer but probably long enough to be terribly destructive.
“Sorry, I’m not about who can win as my primary objective.
I’m about WHO SHOULD WIN, and that would be the most conservative, most intelligent, most principled candidate available.”
IOW what you are about is an irrelevant exercise.
You need to be able to differentiate the difference between a) GOP Presidential preferences, and b) most popular at FR at this time.
The only example of a conservative (by today’s definition) winning both primary and general, is Reagan. Reagan was very well known, ran a state, ran for Potus 3 times.
And when he won he got 50.8%. And did that, against an incredibly lousy Carter!!
Cruz has an immense task to broaden his appeal, beyond FR standards. And maybe another decade or more.
Of course we all know it’s far more likely that she’d face Christie or Jeb.
Solution: A series of LincolnDouglas debates by 2 flavor-of-the-month sitting senators. I think they will be around a lot in the next 2 years.
Here’s another: Howard Dean debating a series on gop Governors-one at a time- on 1 different issue each time. 60-90 minutes each.
The liberals I know (a few family members & co-workers) seem eager to usher Obama off from the stage, and all uniformly back Hillary. But they back her not out of policy preference over other Dems (they like Warren plenty), but because of the perception (right or wrong) that she’s a shoo-in to win >270EVs in the general election, no matter whom the GOP nominates.
The liberals I know see this as their chance to stack the courts in their favor for a few decades, and they’re especially mindful that there are a few good justices on the conservative side of things who are getting pretty advanced in age. I have one cousin who, thinking he’s so clever, brags about sending Scalia a “consolation care package” of red meat and cigars after Hillary wins.
I loathe their policy preferences to the core, but they keep their eyes on their long-term goals to an admirable degree.
At least the Republicans would have a serious candidate for once,
Warren has done even less than Obama did when he ran in 2008. Do the ‘Rats not care about a candidates lack of experience? Have they not learned their lesson? Remember when they mocked Sarah Palin’s resume? I JUST DON’T GET IT.
Obama and his OFA cronies are pushing her behind the scenes as a counter to Hillary.
Cruz, Lee, Nd Palin. CRUZ, LE, and PALIN.
We just need to get him a squnch more forehead.
