Liberal elites play their base for fools... and that includes the gullible ones in the press.
It’s bad for us - but not as bad as it is for the liberal base...
Stay there and stick the shiv deeper.
All I know is that I’m glad, very glad, that he’s there now even if his hands are tied to do nothing more than be a gadfly, a thorn in their side, and a Jeremiah to the corrupt thieves and liars in Congress. He’s there, he actually sees what they do and how they operate, whereas I can only use my common sense to come to the same conclusions, and he has a platform from which to call them out on it to the public, in public, which I don’t, so that at least if they’re going to be corrupt liars and thieves, they don’t get to hode and pretend that they aren’t such, and that they “did the best they could”, when all they did was showboat and then take the bribe/whatever to advance Hussein’s agenda, and to hell with the American people who put them there.
The senate leadership would pat each other on the back, the diners would say well done, and the public would forget about him.
The more good guys that bail only leaves us in worse condition - sometimes a good man has to wallow in the muck to fight the battles that need to be fought.
While I don’t have any issues with billionaires doing well and earning lots of money, the simple fact is that they generally don’t have a clue about the world from our perspective.
While many of our founders were quite wealthy for their time, they lived in a world where they were in constant contact with all levels of society without filter. In fact many of our founders were virtually destitute themselves. That mixture of men made a wise conscious choice to build a nation without aristocracy in sole control of the nation.
Sen. Cruz must sometimes feel like “A voice crying in the Wilderness”.
This is a vicious circle. The pubbies try to quietly vote for issues favored by the major donors, which alienates the voters who respond by withholding donations to the pubbies, which in turn causes the pubbies to become ever more beholden to the donor class. Even Ted Cruz’s own website calls for a 500% increase in H-1B visas.
Evil prevails because good men do nothing.
To turn and run is cowardly. to stand and fight, even against impossible odds, is what heroes do
Personally, I believe that Cruz is God’s test to America. Will we get behind a man who is morally superior to most of the rest of the candidates, who is flawed, but whose conservative creds are the highest of all on the platform? I was upset at a couple of his votes, yes. However, when viewed along with the rest of the field, he is heads above them. Will we actually choose a man who is righteous or will we go for the one with the best media coverage? One who has recently come to his republican “values” but of which are still untested? For all we know, Trump, Florina and Rubio could be great at the debates because they are given hand-picked questions to make them look good. Cruz is almost ignored. WHY? Because they media do not want him to get an inch. He is a gentleman and yet he could take the rest of them down if it were a real debate and not a feeding frenzy.
I’d personally love to see more of the forums like the recent Values Voters forum, giving the candidates a chance to speak freely on the issues and give complete thoughts. These debates are intended to put forth the GOPe candidates and give them more opportunity. Yes, I know that Trump is not their cup of tea, but their aim is to make him look ridiculous in these. In a real debate forum, there would be equal time given to all candidates and all candidates would remark about the SAME issues, giving people a look at each candidate’s stand on the issues.
These are not real debates. We need to write the RNC and demand a change in the format. And, to demand that conservative forums be given a chance to host, as well. Questions should be garnered around the issues that republicans are concerned about and not questions the left are trying to hoodwink the right on. This is not right. I’m sick of the left controlling the narrative at every presidential debate.
