	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I am betting on Warren as the RAT candidate - she spouts AND BELIEVES all the right Alinsky stuff, which seems to be what the RAT party is all about in the 2010s.

I think a clear contrast between opposing political philosophies would be a very healthy thing. But I’m very afraid of what side the crony corporatists and their paid for politicians would support.

I’d prefer to see Cruz on the USSC, appointed by Walker or Perry. Personally, I keep looking for a Reagan on the horizon and I don’t see one.

Mr. Obama was in his third year in the United States Senate when he was elected president. Can Eric read?

Then you are purposefully looking past Ted Cruz and are blind to the truth.

[Will88]

Pretty amazing that this peculiar woman is even being considered as a possible Dim presidentail nominee.

[SamAdams76]

Cruz has no chance and neither does that old scowl from Massachusetts.

I like Ted Cruz but being photogenic is everything in modern politics and he looks like he is a genetic cross between John Belushi and Pat Buchanan.

If you don't look good on TV, you won't win Period. There are way too many shallow people who will vote against you. Smilin' Mitt might just do it again.

[cdcdawg]

The Fauxohontas Factor should have ended her political career before it even started.

That's funny, that's exactly what the Party faithful were saying about Reagan in both 1976 and 1980. Look how that worked out.

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.

There are currently three in that category, Cruz, Lee, and Palin.

While Walker is good on most things, he is an open-border failure.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Hillary may become the Hubert Humphrey of this generation.

By that, I mean someone who is a party regular, someone supposedly having great support in the party, someone who seems destined for the White House, but never gets there.

Hmm...you’re hitting on something that worries me, too. He cannot change his looks (after all, Nixon wasn’t a beauty) but he can lower his speaking voice and avoid the adenoidal twang. That takes a really good voice teacher and I’m sure he has the money to find one. Margaret Thatcher’s voice was high and strident and she brought it way, way down over the years. Hillary ought to try it too but she’s too self-satisfied to even notice there is a problem.

[LostInBayport]

The Fauxohontas Factor

That will be the name of her show on MSNBC after she loses.

[AmericanVictory]

And the theme song will be “Running Bear loved little White Dove.”

[Eva]

Elizabeth Warren sounds like an organizer for the OWS, the Black Bloc and the Anarchists. She’s dangerous because she is so radical but looks like an old maid school teacher.

The best way to defeat her is to tie her tightly to Obama and his policies.

[SamAdams76]

That's funny, that's exactly what the Party faithful were saying about Reagan in both 1976 and 1980. Look how that worked out. Yes, but for an entirely different reason. The Party faithful felt that Reagan was "too extreme" in his conservative views to get elected.

However, Ronald Reagan was EXTREMELY photogenic and very presidential looking and that's what helped him overcome all of that. Even lunchpail Democrats voted for him.

Ted Cruz simply does not have that going for him. I wish I could say that our society was not that shallow but they are. How you present yourself on TV is pretty much everything. If we could reprogram photogenic Mitt Romney's brain with that of Ted Cruz, we'd have a winner.

I hate having to say this by the way.

[Jim Noble]

The GOP will never accept Cruz. Warren (who is almost certainly the nominee) will beat Bush, Christie, or Romney easily.

[Caipirabob]

She's on the warpath, folks, have no doubt...
