"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 wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"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 |

a darling of the militant wing of the party. Stopped reading this trash after this sentence. Pure editorial b.s. liberal spin.

Aside from the first paragraph the article is supportive of Cruz. I'm not sure why the author, who is skeptical of Cruz at first, but increasing impressed by him, would think that Cruz isn't a “statesman.” Seems to me the ability to convince skeptics that you are correct in your point of view is the essence of statesmanship.

Its hard to believe but Ted Cruz and Barack Obama do have one thing in common.
One thing? Huh. They are practically twins.

My problem with the Texas senator, as I have written previously, has been one of tactics, not ideology. I was put off, as were a significant portion of the electorate, if we can believe the polls, by his effort to shut down the government over Obamacare, even though that same electorate disdained Obamas absurd healthcare legislation or should I say prevarication? Nevertheless, for a moment, the Republican brand was damaged. I was worried that it might be fatal. I was dead wrong. It would appear that you are very confused and wrong about a lot of things, Roger Simon.
First, Last October, Obama vindictively shut down the federal government upon his having refused to delay ObamaCare, which of course is exactly what he himself lawlessly did on February 10, 2014!
Second ... he compares the Nobel 'Peace' prize with the Claremont Institute's Statesmanship Award?! And by inference, Yasser Arafat and algore with Milton Friedman and Margaret Thatcher?! WTF?!
And lastly, he extols the virtues of the Claremont Institute ... "Id like to tip my hat to the Claremont Institute. For those of you who dont know it, its doing great work. You should educate yourself." ... And yet, he won't accept their great work in bestowing their award upon Senator Ted Cruz?
My advice to you Mr. Simon is to let go of your Establishment biases and join the Claremont Institute and true conservatives by jumping aboard the Cruz Missile bandwagon.

Cruz's Ivy League background is a reason to vet him very very carefully.
Them folks (IV League) have done more damage to the Republic than all the Hitlers, Stalins and Maos combined.

I'll take the praise of Cruz and leave the rest.
"He quoted Lady Thatcher in his defense when she famously said, First you win the argument, then you win the vote. So true, and just the opposite of our current president whose argument was the puerile and non-existent hope and change, really no argument at all, before he won the vote and look what that has done to our country. Liberals in general dont make arguments (largely because they dont have any). They appeal to emotion."
