CRUZ or LOSE! On the whole, you could say the same thing about the GOP in general. All talk, no walk.
I wish.
If they say they are “severely conservative”, run for the hills.
Like these three who just showed their true colors:
Jeff Flake
Orrin Hatch
Lindsey Graham
Anything that would save us from having posters saying that Romney and Reagan were at the same place in their conservatism.
CRUZ or LOSE!"If a candidate tells you that they oppose Obamacare — fantastic! When have you stood up and fought against it?" he asked of his potential rivals, many of them slated to address the audience.
"Actions speak far, far louder than words. We need to look to people who walk the walk," he added.
By their votes and rationales, ye shall know them....
As far as I know, Bush hasn’t stated he’s conservative, although the media has labeled him a conservative, just like Romney, McCain, et. al.
To the lib media, an, “R” behind the name means conservative.
So, Cruz is endorsing Walker, who has a tangible and verifiable conservative track record in elected office.
Cruz has not been in an elected leadership position that would test his conservative rhetoric in practice and at the ballot box.
That is not a knock on Cruz, but a reality he needs to deal with.
While I love Cruz, he might do more good by being the conservative voice in the Senate.
Let’s see now, the conservative candidate must say he is for lower taxes on the rich, war with Iran, deport all illegals, and bring back a disguised poll tax. Nah, that’s just for rallies. We ain’t gonna hear anyone prove they are conservative.
Conservatism does not necessarily mean constitutional.
I believe to Senator Cruz “Conservative” is much more than an obligatory campaign slogan.
What is an acceptable conservative rating? Is it 65%, 80%, 95% or is anything less than 100% a deal breaker? There are a few non-negotiable items, like abortion, for instance. But some of us seem to have single issue hangups that disqualify otherwise acceptable candidates.
Bottom line is, you send a candidate to office to do your will. If your will is in line with most of the people in your district, does the candidate do the will of the people while putting aside his own wishes if they differ?
Walker did not prove that he was conservative when he accepted the endorsements by pro-amnesty industries in Wisconsin.
Who would be on Ted Cruz’s short list of VP selections, should Ted Cruz become the final GOP pick for ‘16 POTUS?
