Of course, now McCain is a traitor and a joke but I’ve gone with the GOP each time in whom they elect. We really did not have a good selection last time, I love Santorum but his words weren’t always perfect, Ron Paul is okay on most issues as well. It’s too bad, we’ve just had to go along with whom the GOP selects, it’s a lot better than the Democrats though McCain is a disgrace to me now. Palin is fine.

So a known propaganda/disinformation site carries weight with you?

The NYT is the liberal Onion. Don’t believe it.

The fact they used a “dog whistle” code word like “lynch mob” means this article probably completely misrepresented the actual event...

Dems open the same playbook every time....

Does the GOP-E weigh with you?

Do politicians who are on the record for a "clean" CR weigh with you?

How about Pete King?

John McCain?

Lindsey Graham?

"....the media really really really wants to divide Republicans."

The Senate GOPers already divided 19 (w/Cruz) to 27 (with Juan) on their own.

"Imagine if there were a just a dozen with his character and drive in the Senate."

Many call Cruz arrogant.

I can easily come up with 8 'Rat and RINO Senators who are arrogant.

Be that that the case, Constitutionalist Conservatives could use a few more arrogant Senators on our side to offset those on the Statist side.

“In case you haven’t noticed lately, “Mad” magazine has more pages per issue than does “Time.”

Also, Mad is more reliable and truthful than Slime.

Does Slime have anyone, who actually buys their crud.

They have been giving issues away to doctors/dentists offices for decades.

We have a neighbor whose youngest, is 40 something, and he still gets free Slime and Newsweak delivered, decades after that son finished the local community college.

Cruz might well be a genius after all—that or he’s getting some good adivise from someone? Ms. Palin perhaps? Maybe Vlad Putin?

Johnson is from Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, the GOP politicians like Paul Ryan and Ron Johnson, only sound conservative; they aren’t actually, as their votes usually prove. People got the idea that Paul Ryan is a great conservative only because he sounded that way and looked good talking. Man, are we in for a slowly revealed surprise on what a sellout this boy scout really is.

Even though it is the New York Times, National Review’s Bob Costa (the reporter who is everywhere and won’t go away) is reporting it hook, line, and sinker. Costa is practically Boehner the GOPe’s personal reporter.

Does that mean fewer Chicagoians are going to be moving to S. Wisc., or is it an outcome of such lately?
