Glad to hear the report on Ted Cruz. He's a great patriot and a credit to Texas. Things look pretty bleak for us now.

But Sen. Helms came on the scene when the GOP was even more outnumbered. He stopped so much really, really bad legislation against all odds: UN Treaties, giveaways to union thugs, destruction of national sovereignty, etc. He also paved the way for Ronald Reagan more than any other elected official.

I know, different times and different styles. I'm very hopeful that Ted Cruz will be to our era what Jesse Helms was to his.

I hope this guy never drinks the tap water in DC and ends up like John Cornyn

That, sir, is a great point.

And not only that, but the GOP had less of a conservative wing in it then than it does now.....
