that has been used by special interest groups

And what, pray tell, are these "special interest groups"? Empty rhetoric.

No, he is plainly talking about EXTREMISTS that have fooled the Tea Party into believing that a shutdown would work. Sadly, Senator Cruz is one of them.

The Republican Party is going through a revolution right now. Desperate for “adult” leadership. Senator Cruz is willing to “play to the people” and put on a nice show. Strong on rhetoric but unfounded in reality of how things really work (a shame because he is a likeable fellow)...Rand Paul is another example of a “showman.”

Problem is that the GOP needs balanced “Statesmen” not rhetorical firebrands. The Dems stopped having statesmen years ago.....it is time for the GOP to produce some. Senator Cruz and Senator Paul are not remotely “Statesmen.” Their rhetoric, at the end of the day, is as empty as Mr. Obama’s. They talk grandiose, but what they say will not happen....ever.

While I sympathize with the fiscal concerns of the Tea Party....I recognize that many of them are just plain wackadodo extremists (anarchists)...the same as Paul’s followers are wackadodo libertarians (also anarchists). The country cannot be properly lead by extremists. We need fully balanced conservatives.
