Well you are right that Cruz needs to get on this ASAP because it will become one of the defining issues of the coming election WHEN it blows up.
On the other hand you are also championing an idiot whose Cheshire conservatism only seems to pop into existence when it suits him. His less than stellar handling of the entire Amnesty issue and open support for the man who hates, threatens and works against conservatives more than any other, should clue pretty much everyone who understands the word ‘integrity’ in to where his actual loyalty lies. And it ain’t with us.
Dang Norm….I agree with all of that. I agree with you that Cruz needs to join the Bundy issue and quick…..and I agree that Rand is an intellectual mess, or just a totally cynical opportunist….or both.
I would say to our friend Barnacle that if Cruz ever makes such a girlish pathetic statement on national TV, I will be the first to criticize it. But as a Paul bot, self critique is just not in the cult playbook.
His support for who? I have no idea what you are ranting about.
Nobody is more consistant and predictable than Rand Paul. Is he too extreme for you? Well, there are plenty of middle of the road moderates out there to choose from:
On Immigration, Cruz Aims for Middle Ground

This crowd can issue ferocious tweets. It’s too bad that they are held hostage by interest groups.
If you were refering to Mitt Romney before, here is the problem that Cruz had with him (from the article I posted):
“Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.”
“I have said many times that I want to see common-sense immigration reform pass,” he said. “I think most Americans want to see the problem fixed.”
Rand Paul invented the self deportation plan that Romney stole. He came up with it during the campaign for the senate.
I find myself unable to support Cruz if he is not in favor of enforcing the law.
