Cruz is a pragmatist when he needs to be, and that is a good thing. We need to be just as pragmatic about Cruz himself as our torch bearer. Purists will scoff at him supporting the RINO Roberts, but at this point, look at the alternative, it's far worse. Winning is the start of governing or changing things that are broken.

Losers give a speech and go home.

The leftist Republican are the purists who will do everything they can to destroy conservatives, even in the general elections.

The local libtards are beside themselves because Mr. Cruz is here. It’s great to see and it’s great that he is here.

Hey, Go use the language of the left somewhere else.

Whether you realize it or not, by using this type of language, you are classifying your self as a supporter of the GOP-E.

Forgive me for being a skunk at the wedding, but we cannot have it both ways. Freepers who say it’s best to elect Roberts get derided, but then Palin and Cruz campaign for him. I don’t think anyone is ready to call them RINOs.

There are bigger issues at play which Cruz recognizes. He needs allies in office from these states, and he needs a Republican controlled Senate for his presidential run.

Are you calling Ted Cruz a leftist? The fact is he is being more supportive of Roberts than are the Freepers you are calling names.

As someone else said very well:

“You can’t move the ball until you have possession of the ball”.

Some people’s illogical reasoning would never allow us to get possession of the ball.

But it seems this Milton Wolf guy is okay letting the senate stay in Obama’s hands the next two years. Yeah, what a great conservative.

Wolf lost. Now he’s willing to put himself before the nation. He knows Orman will caucus with the democrats. Yeah, way to stand up for America, Milton.

RINO Roberts


He’s not a RINO. His voting record is very clear.

Wolf did a big-time hackjob on Roberts. He did more harm to the right than he’s done to the left.

Poorly articulated ad-hominem attacks are not a substitute for addressing well articulated statements, my FRiend.

Instead of calling me names, tell me what you think about Cruz’s support for a notorious RINO? I say it’s a sound tactical move. Do you agree? If so, then you admit that there is a time and a place to support less than ideal candidates in the name of winning elections (and in this case control of the Senate.)

Careful, it’s a slippery slope. Best to denounce him for his RINO ways!

Because this thread is about Roberts and Cruz's support of him, not about Cruz's run for POTUS.

But I won't be posting anything else about Cruz's wife, because it's pissing off Jim and he's made it very clear he doesn't appreciate it.

But, don't count on the opposition to be so polite. Cruz needs to bring his A game to take on the machine, and dealing with the Goldman connection is a part of that. You aren't going to be able to suppress discussion of this much beyond this site.

Amusing that no one has posted any meaningful counter argument to that issue.

“..there are much bigger issues at play here...say what you must but Cruz needs allies to start the reversal of the madness going on in this country right now...”

Sometimes you have to use unfavorable allies to beat your enemies. I’m thinking West and the Soviets against the Germans. Yes, it took a long time to get the Soviets out of power - but at least we defeated Hitler.

As Reagan said - vote conservative in the primaries, and Republican in the final. (Disclaimer - I wrote in my neighbor for president in 2012, very liberal state would have gone to Obama regardless).

I think Reagan would be considered a “RINO” on FR today by many. His gun bans as Governor, Amnesty as president, the poorly protected Marines in Lebanon and then retreat, etc.

Hey, go away!

Cruz and other senate conservatives need a GOP-controlled senate at this point in the game. You stand in the way of that. You lack a clue.
