Where is the GOPe on these issues? Does Boehner have a position? Why, if he does, won’t he articulate it?
Recently I received a call from the GOP asking for a donation to turn back the democrat initiatives. After I told them exactly what I think of the GOP, they eventually hung up. It was a very satisfying moment.
Me too. Such fun. I asked the gal if she knew about what happened in Mississippi. Amazingly she said YES!!! I told her that because of that I would never, ever, ever, ever give another dime to the GOP at either the national or Senatorial level. We talked a bit more and I finally told her to never call me again.
Very satisfying indeed.
I noticed that town hall tried to celebrate senator Cruz on one paragraph, and impugn him in the next, making his speech look like a cynical political move. I doubt they are in favor of his potential candidacy.
This being said, while Cruz did a nod to other conservatives in congress that supported his ideas, he needs to form a tighter conservative bloc, as such, to present the public with a unified conservative faction within the Republican party.
There is a very good reason for doing this. While a Tea Party endorsement is good, coming from the grassroots level, it helps to also have a top down endorsement as well. In this case, the conservative bloc could endorse conservative candidates in a crowded Republican field, to separate the “wheat from the chaff”.
A superb example right now is the Arizona governors’ race, with five or six Republicans all claiming the conservative mantle, but two or three of them may be faux conservatives. And “dark money” from out of state is pouring in to air attack ads in the melee. To make matters worse is that the AZ Tea Party is less focused and intense, so nobody is “calling out” the bad candidates, except each other, and the situation is confused.
Were Cruz and his conservative bloc to pick one who is most aligned with conservatism, even a brief mention could almost guarantee him the race. And they would also have the power to make conservative candidates “sign on the dotted line”, promising to back conservative agenda items.
Ted Cruz for President in 2016!
Agreed, Ted Cruz for President for 8 years,
the appoint him to serve a lifetime in the
U.S. Supreme Court.
May Jehovah God Bless our nation.
The GOPe has stopped sending letters and have stopped calling me. I have burned their ears off so many times that I have been cleansed of their mailing lists, email lists, and phone lists. I am sure that I have been purged from those lists, and added to the other lists.... you know, IRS audit lists, terror watch lists, domestic disposition matrix, etc.
and all that BIGGOV Inc. needs to do is infiltrate my computer with some kind of “no no” crap. Then I can wake up at 4am with the doors being bashed in, my dogs getting shot... and you know the rest of the story. The only saving grace that I have, is that I am still paying into the Leviathon.
While it might have been satisfying she can call you again and again. Political organizations are exempt from do not call.
I understand your frustration against the national organization but I hope that does not stop you from working for good conservative candidates locally.
No matter the differences any GOP is light years better than any Dem
Thanks SoConPubbie.
He kicks so much ass, he doesn’t even have to take names.
As opposed to Zero, who merely keeps track of all our names.
> “I doubt they are in favor of his potential candidacy.”
Most of the Beltway class are whores and mercenaries to some degree or another.
They will be all onboard once it is clear that conservatives have slaughtered the hogs and are preparing to feed the pigs.
The two issues Sen. Cruz says we're close on -- closing the damn borders and repealing Obamacare -- would go over big with Joe and Jane Sixpack, but he shouldn't spend too much time crowing about the others. Unless, of course, he can find a way to teach the American Sheeple why those victories are important...as did Ronald Reagan.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Not necessarily.
Not a chance that I will stop working for the cause. I'm not one of those "Vote for the Dems and teach the GOPe a lesson" types. I want the Senate in the hands of the Republicans even though we all know that will mean GOPe control.
But these days that view may not be in the mainstream here at good old FR.
I kinda figured that you wouldn’t stop just because the RNC has gone goofy.:)
How anyone can think a Dem who embraces the democrat ideology could be better than a Republican who embraces true republican values is beyond me.
That is not to say there aren’t Pubs that should be replaced BUT they must be replaced with a real Republican Never with a Democrat
I've gotten about 20 calls in the past couple of weeks from an 'unknown' number. I do not pick up a call if I don't know who is calling, unless it is from my area code, because it's likely a prayer request, since I'm a contact person for our Parish Prayer line. If I don't pick up, and someone really wants me to call them, they'll leave a voicemail. If they don't leave a voicemail, I make note of the number, and am sure NOT to pick up again, when they try to call. If they're not willing to leave a voicemail, I just ignore them.
I am with you. I do not pick up any unknown number and I really HATE robo or any political calls.
I do a lot of political volunteering but will not do calls.
I have a strong feeling I will not get another call.
BTW, the fellow I spoke with sounded like a GOP person, and not just a paid phone canvasser.
