"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 wouldnt 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 |

Was hoping McConnell would loose for this very reason. Next time the repub party calls me, I’m telling them no more $$$ until McConnell and Boehner are moved out of the way.

Good luck on that. Cruz will do what he thinks is right regardless of what McConnell or anyone else thinks.

Ted Cruz will be the next president, God willing. And he will reclaim America for Jesus.

Yahoo News is going to tell us what to do?
I don't think so.

The media is already trying to pit Republicans against each other. I don’t remember these type of stories, ever, related to Democrats!
To: SoConPubbie
Hate to break it to the left and the DC political class, but McConnell is only there by default. If cruise ran head-to-head against McConnell in Kentucky or Texas it would be a landslide for Cruz. If the party idiots continue to vilify Cruz instead of adopting his superior tactics, their leadership term will be quite short. If it isn’t our party that makes further changes, it will be the other one taking back The majority after these people screw it up again.

If McConnell had any sense, it would let Cruz be his point person. He can play up the out of control bit while letting him get his way and take the entire Senate to the right.

Just because we have a two-party system, doesnt mean we have to be in perpetual conflict,.....YES, IT DOES!!! Until we beat the elites on their asses, split their skulls open, and piss on their remains.

Just because we have a two-party system, doesnt mean we have to be in perpetual conflict, Several Founding Fathers disagree.
In politics the middle way is none at all. John Adams
"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." James Madison Federalist No. 58, 1788

Please let’s do away with McConnell. I was hoping he maybe wouldn’t/won’t have the support for majority leader.

It’s a little hard for anyone to “keep a lid on” a United States Senator.

Seriously ... given the choice between standing with McConnell or standing with Cruz ... McConnell will be one lonely camper. McConnell's first challenge is getting the hell out of Cruz's way. And it's a big challenge because he'll have to step over his own ego to do it.
