....."behind the scenes, it was Cruz, the Texas conservative with presidential aspirations, who appeared to be "pulling the strings"........House GOP leaders 'bristled at Cruz’s interference on their turf'......... Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.) said Cruz had “hijacked” the Republican Party.......... Democrats jokingly referred to the senator as “Speaker Cruz.”

That’s our guy!!!

When Cruz said a while back, after he pulled his all nighter, ...he said...”The American people don’t realize how close we are to taking over the party”....

I have never forgotten that....

It was unforgettable. Unfortunately there are a small percentage of FReepers who seem to have forgotten how close we are and are willing to send up the white flag of surrender to the RINOs.

Hey, I’ve been there at times....it’s pretty discouraging too...so I give people a break when they have their down moments regarding our politicians.

Besides Cruz and those with him are playing their cards below the MSM radar...and needs to be so as long as they can pull it off.......

.....We just have to “believe” without seeing a lot these days.

Old sour Krauthammer also slammed the House conservatives on Brett’s show today. He is a GOPe supporter who really doesn’t know how disgusted conservatives are with Boehner, McConnell, and McCain...sell- outs all.

Bill O’Reilly just called the Congressmen who stalled the bill “pinheads.”

Yeah, Ted Baxter never misses an opportunity to be stupid.

It is reassuring to know we backed the best! Would have voted for him twice, like the good dems do, but there were enough of us to kick sorry David DoWorst to the curb.

Cruz is probably not making DC friends by politicking House members, but doing the right thing at the right time is what makes him great.

We all need to make sure he is headed to POTUS!
