Because the other Republicans have embraced the Tao of Republican Orthodoxy.

Because they believe in big government as well, but think they can "run" it better when it's their turn to feed at the trough.

I wondered the same. Why is Cruz one of very few who stick to the principles they campaigned on?

I say it has far less to do with the character of the people we send, and far more to do with the structure of congress.

A truism well known by our framers was that of private virtue and public vice among popularly elected politicians. I'd bet the vast majority of even rat politicians never stole a personal item in their lives. OTOH, when participating as one of many, such as in congress, they have no problem stealing property from one set of citizens and giving it to another set. It is the nature of popular representation.

It is why so many tea partiers go wobbly or full rino.

The key to possible restoration of freedom is to return to the federal design of our framers.

As long as both houses of congress are popularly derived, our fate is democratic tyranny. There is little, if any time to save our republic.
