	"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

Ted Cruz Ping!

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

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

[TexasFreeper2009]

yep it SO FREAKING EASY!!!

DO WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO WHEN YOU WERE ASKING US TO VOTE FOR YOU!!!!!

How freaking hard is that?

They KNOW what we want them to do! (because they ALWAYS say exactly what we want to hear when they want us to vote for them!)

This past November, for the first time in my life, I didn't vote for my GOP congressman (John Carter - RINO), nor could I cast a vote for John Cornyn (wrote in Ted Cruz instead).

I'm tired of being betrayed by the GOP. Ted Cruz is the only one in Texas who truly represents me.

[Norm Lenhart]

NOOOO!!!!! Keep the poweder dry! This isn’t the right tome! But we’ll hold their feet to the fire after the 16 election. Obviously Ted America, loves Obama and wants Harry Reid to ....do somethingerother.

Because thats what many Freepers told me about opposing the wisdom of the GOP.

[freeangel]

There will be no Republican Party after 2016 unless they finally do what the voters were promised. Only Karl rove will be showing up to vote for his sorry bros

[Norm Lenhart]

No, he will have plenty of conservative frauds right there groveling beside him again.

“Do what you said you’d do”, Republicans have been having difficulty with this for a long time and I have decided that at the root of the problem is that most of them have never have any intention of doing what they say, they only say what they need to say to get elected so they can follow an unannounced agenda. Thank God for Senator Cruz, Congressman Gohmert and their few cohorts.

I called my local RINO’s office, Kevin Brady (R) Texas. His district covers Montgomery co. TX, through the wealthy suburb of The Woodlands, TX.

Got ahold of Kevin Brady's Conroe office yesterday. I asked her what Kevin's position on the Continuing Resolution through Sept. 2015. She did not know Brady's position on the CR. I told her that we want a short term CR, then when the new congress is sworn in, to formulate a budget as prescribed by the constitution. This woman passed the buck. Told me to call his D.C. office, they'd likely have an answer. So...I did.

Jason answered the phone. I asked the same question. He told me he had no idea Kevin Brady's position on a long term CR till Sept., but if I give my name and phone #, he'd have someone call me back.

I told Jason (at Kevin Brady's D.C. office) that I had spoke to him a couple of weeks ago and you promised to have someone call me back and no one ever called Jason. He went silent.

I then explained, we want a short term CR till the new congress is seated, then we want a budget as prescribed by the constitution. He said, “uh, what was it that you said?”.

So, pissed off at this point, I held my composure and politely repeated the above. Alright, I'll pass it on he said.

Both offices of Kevin Brady just basically blew me off. They both claimed they had no idea how Kevin Brady would vote on a long term CR.

Well, there ya have it. Just thought I'd share. They say one thing to get re-elected, and another to the peons after the election.

[Jabba the Nutt]

If the GOP goes ahead and breaks it’s thousands of promises on immigration, how is it different from Obama “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan”?

[TADSLOS]

So, Brady’s staff is either lying that they don’t know his position on CR bills in progress or they are abysmally incompetent.

[Principled]

If you like your borders, you can keep your borders.

This refrain would remind everyone of 0bama's biggest lie and simultaneously call out Repubs who lie on the border.

[robowombat]

Sen Cruz should seriously examine his personal security. There is a strong belief in the political class and their servitors in the security agencies that certain kinds of ‘disruptive’ political figures (right wing, or conservative or conservative populist) should only be allowed to be ‘disruptive’ to a certain degree. Beyond that, well the example of Governor Wallace presents itself. I suspect this is a big part of why Gov. Palin rarely conducts high visibility events in large eastern or Pacific coast cities. This is not paranoia but based on observation of the establishment political class and their ideology. No one can be allowed to really rock the boat, that is the bottom line along with the banks can never be held responsible for their bad decisions and loans.

[alstewartfan]

Jabba, there is no difference. The GOP progressives are even worse than the Despot in a sense, b/c they KNOW that the policies they are funding are helping to destroy America, but they lack the guts to stop them. The deranged Despot believes that his Utopian plans will help the downtrodden eventually, and in the mean time he thinks that punishing the undeserving wealthy is just desserts. Bob

When Patton did his big shift to the north why didn’t the Germans counter attack in his southern sector? When an army is wheeling to the left or right it is very vulnerable to being flanked.

I believe I’ve found a new tag line, if I may ‘borrow’ that...

The answer is simple, you just have to look a little deeper into who our politicians are besides whether they have a d or r next to their name.

All Washington power players are members of the council on foreign relations. Every candidate running for their parties nomination for president has always also been a member. Republican or democrat the CFR has a new world order agenda.
