The country is going into ruins and they have nothing to do but trash those who wish to save it.

Believe it or not, you GOPe parasites, there are not enough millionaires to win Republican seats in the Senate. We know that the only thing you wsj types care about is protecting your stash from higher taxes. The vast majority of voters have far more serious concerns: freedom, integrity of our government officials, the survival of our Middle Class families.
The Republican Party has been worthless as a vehicle for righting this sinking ship, no matter how hard the elitists want to turn up the music to drown out the screams.
I just read this article too. So dumb! All they see is “senate majority, senate majority” so they love people like Mike Castle, Arlen Specter and Lisa Murkowski because they have R’s next to their names.
But note that she doesn’t openly berate Richard Lugar for endorsing the democrat in Georgia, or John Warner who endorsed the democrat in Virginia. Are not these republicans also “preventing a republican majority??”
Oh nooooo. Because both Lugar and Warner are doing the Lord’s work, that is, helping democrats, as all moderate republicans do.
The real agenda of the establishment of both parties is to prevent conservatives from getting into office, because as Cruz has demonstrated, conservatives tear their world asunder and shine a light on the charade.
Yep.
Stuck On Stupid.
Mr. Strassel, the GOPe that your employer the WSJ and the US Chamber of Commerce love so much LIES to its own constituents. This is what Cruz is not going to sign on to and wants STOPPED!
That you and your ilk want to keep lying is the problem, not Ted Cruz or us REAL conservatives. Basically, Ted and we are saying “if you want to lie to your constituents don’t include me or us”.
If you want to disguise lying and call it “parliamentary voting tactics” or something else, we won’t play that game either.
Lying just cannot be part of the process anymore.........”get over it!”
If Mc Connell gets reelected and the Republicans get the Majority, Cruz will be lucky to get a seat on the Public Sanitation Committee.
target - flak - bombs. Cruz does it again.
Mitch doesn’t want to fight 0bama, he wants to outlast him in office.
There once was a time when the WSJ was excellent, but that time has long since passed.
The GOP has the majority in the House.
Spending is on its way up and as of now our kids each owe $250,000.00 on it, and that’s before their average $20,000.00 college debt, $10,000.00 per year Obamacare obligation, declining 77 % labor participation rate, 12% unemployment rate.
Congress is in charge of spending.
If they want to continue to blame Obama, they are offering him all the power they have.
If our guys had come back from Europe and reported that, because Hitler was a dictator and was ridiculing them in public, they had to let him have everything he wanted.
We’d have been right to say, forget funding the military, it’s of no use.
These concepts are so simple. What does the Wall Street Journal miss, in the arena of common sense?
The congress is responsible for this debt, for allowing Obama to continue lawlessly.
The republican Congress is at fault, here.
The slight minority senate had the power last week, in the to make a statement about Obama’s out of control spending. They acted like retreating cowards.
There is no one who even dreams that if they were in the majority they would do anything differently, or that they would do anything differently from the way the House is doing things.
those, like the WSJ, who pretend it would be otherwise, appear very strange. Are they cowards? Do they work for a powerful, undisclosed destructive force? Are they to wrapped up in their own world of mob rule and public opinion?
The constitution is a powerful, simple concept.
Those who follow it are very despised by the government, politicians, the news media and pop culture.
Anyone opposing Ted Cruz’ behavior can be easily called out by the illogical nature of their arguments.
they lack truth, and that is a scary place to live in when the light starts coming through.
They are frightened?
Thomas Sowell, Ann coulter?
The republican congress is worthless as a majority, as things stand now.
That is a fact.
They have exhibited absolutely zero inclination to repeal Obamacare, and their talk is cheaper than their approval rating right now, which is about 12%.
Imagine anyone else with those numbers.
So what? Mere window dressing.
Generally, I like Ms. Strassel. She does a good job of exposing the corruption in DC.
But just like the editors at WSJ, she sits in NY and hasn't a clue about what's happening out here in the US.
The WSJ is no friend of the Tea Party, they like things just as they are, lots of cheap money (that is--our money)!
The Wall Street Journal has thrown in with the totalitarian enabling RINO socialists, apparently.
Columnist Strassel just tried to put lipstick on the whole bunch of them, by smearing a patriot.
Cruz and Lee are the last glimpse of the last sunset on the USA, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights, if we can’t hold the line and keep our God before us.
The last GOP Senate majority spent like DemocRats and power shared. They don’t know how or want to lead.
I do not know what is the best path
But here is the question :
IF the takedown of RINOs works but Republicans do not gain the Senate or lose the House, what has been accomplished?
