	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

Mr. Jim Robinson's words are all I need to know:

Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.

Go Ted go! Go Jim go!

Good grief. This Cruz vs. Paul dust up is the biggest non-event of the year so far. It’s very murky as to where they disagree, and it’s sooooooooooo obvious that the GOPe wants them feuding, or at least portrayed that way. They overlap on a wide array of issues, and are both hated by McCain (which is a HUGE plus for both). I don’t think Rand Paul can be the nominee for several reasons, and neither of them has any experience as a chief executive. They will both add greatly to the debate (along with Sarah Palin), but will not be the guy. In fact, they will both add more to the debate than the eventual nominee. In the meantime it would be nice if they would return their attention to the idiot who’s currently running the country into the ground.

The choice of words by Philip Klein such as:
**** “dangerous critic’”and
**** “- - - isn’t a serious threat to be the GOP presidential nominee in 2016 - - - “
reveal the Left Stream Media bias of Philip Klein.

I don’t trust the Pauls. Weak on foreign policy, weak on the borders, weak on defending marriage.

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul going toe-to-toe in the Republican Primaries:

A RINO's dream come true!

Cat-fight, ‘Meow’

Typically neocon article. Now their strategy, apparently, is to try to split the Tea Party. Cruz and Paul aren’t that far apart on foreign policy. They’re both advocates of a national-interest based foreign policy. There are some degrees of difference on where you draw the line over involvement, but not much difference even on that.

[Ron H.]

The GOP-e and many libertarians share this belief and that's why's so many are falling out of favor with the conservative-right base, IMO.

[jpsb]

I see the neo-cons are out gunning for Paul again.

[matthew fuller]

"My working assumption has been that Paul isn't a serious threat to be the GOP presidential nominee in 2016, and his recent dust-up with Cruz only reaffirms that view."

I concur.
