Kim Strassel [WSJ]: Another Misguided Cruz Missile
The Wall Street Journal Online ^ | February 21, 2014 | Kim Strassel

Posted on 02/21/2014 9:58:52 AM PST by Zuben Elgenubi

Ted Cruz is aiming for Mitch McConnell, but he may blow up the GOP's chances for a Senate majority in November.

A rump band of Beltway conservatives has seen the enemy and it is not Harry Reid. It is Mitch McConnell, whose scalp is apparently worth blowing yet another shot at a Republican Senate majority.

I wanted to post this before I go out to a doctors appointment so I won’t be back until late afternoon. And, yes, I’ve already showered.

You need to change your analytical lens-it’s not left vs right, conservative vs liberal, Democrat vs republican.

It’s inside the Beltway vs outside the Beltway.

I consider it a good trade.

Keep the House, for now.

Go after the GOPe in the Senate.

Total war.

Until we clean our own party, winning aint worth spit.

With McAmnesty et al there is no GOP majority. Power sharing will be back in the Sin-ate.

She’s simply another cog in the wheel of this most recent ORCHESTRATED (Thomas Sowell and Ann Coulter are other orchestra member singing from the same songbook written by the GOPe) attack on Ted Cruz. From what I’ve seen, this ORCHESTRATED attack is being stunningly INEFFECTIVE. I’m sure the GOPe is scratching their heads but will, no doubt, continue their attacks.

The Praetorian guard circle the wagons for the Establishment when it is THEM trashing our candidates in places like North Carolina.

Ahhh, Another shot at Sen. Cruz. And this time (surprise!), its not from Thomas Sowell.

So, this gal is worried that Cruz may ruin McConnell’s chances at being Senate majority leader? And if Cruz keeps up, we may not even have a Senate majority?

Bull cheese. If Cruz is denied and Mitch is the majority leader; just how will things be different?

They will vote to raise the ceiling on the budget, vote for ObamaCare modifications, and generally cave in (as usual) to the dems.

Kim, you are a RINO licker.

The hallucinogenic properties of the RINOs are distorting your judgement.

Dry out and try again.

Why the hell should we allow frauds such as Mitch to skate to the nomination, when we have better candidates who understand that America is imperiled. Such as Matt Bevin! Bob

Apparently this idiot thinks McConnell can win the general election when all indications are that he cannot.

The very last one I expected to go Establishment on us was Sowell - I still can’t believe it - but it’s looking like the GOPe and their consorts are becoming very, very worried. I expect Peggy Noonan will be up next with a Cruz hit piece.

Nicely put! The GOPe, its puppets and operatives are being incredibly (and unintentionally) TRANSPARENT in their attacks on the Tea Party.

They apparently listened to that old movie’s admonition “Be afraid, be very afraid”. Their fear is showing and is palpable.
