This guy bills himself as a “pragmatic conservative”.
In other words, he’s a conservative when it benefits him, and something else when it doesn’t.
Sounds a lot like “compassionate conservative”.
Fergus?? Fergus???
I keep hearing Dean and Jerry saying “Melvin”.
Is it me? Is it Cullen?
And what is Cruz's party, then?
If it isn't Cullen in the wrong party, then voting for moderate Republicans is now an act so risky that it's an outright liability.
I hope and pray Cruz or whatever limited government Christian conservative with the prayers and poise to reclaim the faith of legal voting on-the-ground Americans, has the courage to go third party for the presidential in 2016. It's the only risk worth taking.
The GOP, if mindsets like Cullen's are prevalent in selecting a presidential candidate, is a sure bet to fail America.
The better risk is to go third party in that case, which is likely. This "leadership" in the GOP isn't going to do an about-face in two years. So the only way to win it is to leave them out of it altogether.
Contradicts what another thread on FR says...
The other thread says Cruz will be a speaker at the NH gathering.
...Also amazing is that even GOPe pols continue to blame Cruz for the sequester that led to Obama shutting down ~17% of gov’t. operations for a short time. It was the Dems that caused the sequester.
So who is this guy except some [expletive]?
Who says he's important except a houseful of schmoozing GOPe types?
Conservatives are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT *NOT WELCOME* in the Republican party.
He's pretty much telling us, "Look. We do NOT want your vote. If we win, and we got your vote, we won't even take the elected position. Your vote is repugnant to us."
