Amnesty should just about do in any eGOP types up for reelection. Americans have had it. We may go down but we’re going down fighting. It’s the American way.

Failure to endorse the incumbent ( McConnell, Graham, Cochran, Alexander, et al, will be correctly interpreted as backing the challenger. Cruz is smart...this way the primary doesn’t become about “him”..but rather the incumbent’s voting record..

They WILL be held accountable...I know my current and soon to be unemployed Georgia Senators will be able to testify to that.

BINGO!

I knew I had read this situation correctly. Ted is a sly fox, and he just led the the establishment into a bear trap. Bravo.

Michael Stravato for The New York Times
Bruce Labay, a businessman in El Campo, Texas, on Friday. Mr. Labay expressed his support
for Senator Ted Cruz by attaching plastic foam cups to a fence.

NYT: Texans Stick With Cruz Despite Defeat in Washington "................ Mr. Labay, 55, made his signs by sticking 1,200 plastic foam cups, one by one, into the loops of his chain-link fence, a 90-minute project that filled much of the fencing around BL Oilfield Services in the town of El Campo.

“I was proud of him,” Mr. Labay said of the state’s junior senator. “I was proud he was a Texan. I wish they would have held firm, and we’d still be shut down.”

.......“For a lot of us, this was refreshing,” said Mike Gibson, chairman of the Republican Party in Fort Bend County in suburban Houston. “We had a politician who said what he was going to do and then did it. Most Texas Republicans have been tired of our elected officials talking tough in Texas and then going to Washington and going along.”

Mr. Cruz, for one, said his Texas support has been uplifting. “The many supportive letters, e-mails, calls and social media comments we’ve received from Texans since Labor Day have been inspirational,” he said in a statement. “Hearing from constituents keeps me focused on the concerns of the people I work for and the issues I ran on. That’s what matters.”

Of course, not everyone is applauding, particularly Democrats in Texas, where Republicans control both houses of the Legislature........"

Byron York: Left demands: Charge Ted Cruz with sedition "I appeared on NPR on Wednesday and was surprised to hear a caller say that Sen. Ted Cruz should be charged with sedition. "I'm really baffled by the fact that the discussion has not ever reached the point where charges of sedition should be brought up against him for conspiring and bullying others to work with him to undermine the American economy … full faith and credit," the caller said. "He's done so much damage to the standing of the United States in the world. And if you read the Sedition Act, it seems like it really applies."

A colleague on the panel, the Wall Street Journal's Sudeep Reddy, assured the caller, "There is no possibility of that." And the conversation moved on. But it turns out that in a few corners of the left, there are activists who would like to see Cruz, along with other Republicans and conservatives who have expressed strong opposition to Obamacare, charged with inciting rebellion against the United States government.

fter Cruz and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin appeared together last weekend on the National Mall, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported the event in front of a screen with pictures of Cruz and Palin and the title LATEST SEDITION. Maddow did not utter the word itself, but viewers certainly got the message.

On the activist website MoveOn.org, there are multiple petitions calling for Cruz and others to be charged with sedition. In one, the petition writer adopted a very broad and somewhat fuzzy standard under which Cruz should be sent to jail:.............."

You bet they will be held accountable! Senator Cruz has upheld his bargain with his voters and I just wish that others would do the same.

This fellow will get my vote for as long as he runs for office! One of the truly honest folks and going against all in Washington is NOT easy! If I had to pick my politician, he is my choice! Of course, I’m a Texan so that makes it much easier...heh.

Well, you’ve got one leaving in 2014. Please do not curse us with Michelle Nunn.

Ted Cruz is right, again. The only thing that RINOs like John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss know how to do is negotiate terms of surrender and hang on to their seats. They meekly accommodate their enemies while stabbing their friends in the back. They are Quislings.

Princess Nunn is going nowhere. Nunn is a name that only older Georgians and past-due idiot media journalists remember. He hasn’t done shit since he quit except sweep all the corporate and university board positions he can to get $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$....his name hasn’t been mentioned before now for decades...he was no expert in defense, he was no expert in anything except getting the media to tell us he was.

The longer Ted hangs in there, the more people will come around and support him.

This is a long war. Don’t expect short-term success.

For the time being there is only one thing you need to say
when contacting Sens and Reps.

I stand with Ted Cruz!

I don’t know why people are saying Cruz lost. For 16 days Ted Cruz and Mike Lee forced Democrats and Squish Republicans to show their true colors, all the while not giving up anything.

Democrats spent 16 days defending bad policy and come primary season the squish will have to do the same.

I call that a Tea Party victory.

I’m with you there. It was a successful strategic and tactical manuever. 0bama and his Progressive cabal were backed into a corner and committed a lot of forced errors. GOPe quislings were thoroughly exposed.

Good for Mr. Labay...this Texan agrees !00% with his message! El Campo is home to many good, hard working Conservatives.
