"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!

"We could lose," reads the headline on Biden's fundraising email sent out Sunday, just ahead of Monday's first-quarter deadline.

Joe!

Chin up little buckaroo!

Y'all can't lose, remember?

Them mean `ol TEA Party bad guys are on the way out.

Right?

I have been hearing that for years now!

... "time for the tea party to leave," along with: TEA Party is losing ground, fatal blow, "tea party movement dead," fading fast, doesn't matter, influencing immigration reform weaker than ever,’ no longer relevant, etc.

According to this it has been for years now...

[Still Thinking]

I didn’t know Sloe Joe could SAY ‘hyperbole’, much less define it.

[luvbach1]

Perish the thought, Joe Biteme, that more pro-constitution, pro-American candidates are elected to the senate.

[98ZJ USMC]

But, ....the Tea Party’s dead.

"First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi

The Democrats mocked Governor Palin.

The Democrats fight Senator Cruz.

We are making progress.

[Free in Texas]

Biden, the token peckerwood.

[paltz]

“We could lose to John McCain”
“We could lose to Mitt Romney”
“We could lose to the Tea Party”
“We could lose to Sarah Palin”
“We could lose to Ted Cruz”

The “We could lose to...” line is a primarily a Democratic fundraising line to scare the bejeezus out of their loyal donors—nothing more nothing less.

[COBOL2Java]

"If we wake up on Tuesday and find out we came up short, we're in bad shape for November – that is not hyperbole," Biden writes. "Losing will mean more senators like Ted Cruz, and more Tea Party Republicans in the House."

"That's a damned good letter! Cut & paste that into our fundraiser emails!"

[dforest]

Cruz should Make Biden’s comment into a slogan! LOL

Joe is useful for something.

I would change the could to will.

[Atlas Sneezed]

New Tagline!

[Cheapskate]

But Joe! Haven’t you heard? The Tea Party is DEAD,DEAD DEAD!

[kevkrom]

"Losing will mean more senators like Ted Cruz, and more Tea Party Republicans in the House."

We can only hope.
