Reading this thread, it's easy to see why we conservatives have lost so many times so easily.....

I can't believe there are people here who are throwing Senator Cruz under some imaginary bus for some imaginary unpardonable sin of attending this funeral.

Excuse me while I go throw up somewhere.

Cruz didn't have to attend this funeral.....no one made him go.

He chose to go and called it an 'honor' to go.

I have problems with that.

I choose to not make myself a target at FR from name callers simply because I like my heroes being consistent.

Kudos to the South Carolina Sheriff who refused to fly our American Flag half staff for Mandela .....Obama's edict.----If I remember correctly Obama wants us flying OUR FLAG for Mandela for 10 days

I couldn't wait, yesterday, to drive to a nearby military compound of retired warriors and families.....where they fly their beloved flag every single day.....and lower it to half staff when a warrior dies.

Yesterday it was flying high and free.....HOORAY FOR THEM---no kowtowing for them!

Sometimes I think I'm the last of the idealists who remember what freedom use to feel like, taste like, feel like.

I will not start compromising and making excuses for Ted Cruz....*btw I was gung-ho and rooting for him from the bandstands from day one*.....

But I didn't expect this about face (Mandela) just like I didn't expect George Bush to have his little love fest with illegals, (among other things)

....I can simply choose not to stay at FR among people who question my loyalties if I don't play the.... 'anything goes to get Cruz the Presidency'... game.

Been there....done that.

Don't need the grief.

No, you are wrong. Conservatives are losing because they can't help but tack left if they think it will win them some votes rather than get even more staunch in their conservative views. They still don't get the dem vote and they lose some hard core conservative votes.

The left, meanwhile, get even stauncher in their views and their base worships them. Obama probably didn't consider going to Margaret Thatcher's funeral for one second. And I'm sure it won him admiration among dems.

This was a mistake by Cruz on all fronts. And it makes me sad to think he just may be there for sincere reasons. I'm sure he'll have some extensive statement when he realizes the damage he's done. I'll reserve judgment until I hear it.
