"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!

Conservatives need to decide on one candidate early.

Can you imagine that the GOPe wants major network Anchors to be questioners again instead of Levin, Rush, Laura and Sean?

Conservatives need to run their own debates with conservative hosts asking the questions.

There are 9 listed moderate to very conservatives listed above vs. 4 GOPe Tea Party hating Rinos. That means our vote is split better that 2-1, and assuming Christie drops out its 3-1.

We need a conservative caucus convention to select one person so we get more than 30% in every primary and can elect a conservative.

On Freerepublic Palin would lead, and Cruz would be next.

I like Walker, but he has no name recognition.

We must break the party rule of GOPe, this means we need to outsmart them. In a debate Cruz could do really well but only if there isn’t a dozen people on the stage making it impossible for Ted to beat the crap out of Mitt, Jeb and Huck.

Ted is why Milt and Jethro started their GOP-wing of the Democrat party pResidential campaigns a year early.

He has them frightened out of their oligarchical minds.

And somebody get FOX news to stop calling liberals like Romney and Bush “moderates”

Cruz - Martinez - 2016

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Joni Ernst, 2016. Conservative, and a Vet.

If she wants the job, of course.

[INVAR]

The GOP Ruling Class would prefer that a Democrat “wins” any and all seats, rather than a single Conservative take that office.

We are arrived at single party rule in this country.

The majority will continue to lie to themselves and pretend the truth is not what is become self-evident.

[navyguy]

Cruz is right, and if he runs he will get a lot of support... except from the RNC. They will work triple overtime to destroy him in an effort to get Jeb in office.

The RNC is the enemy.

[gogeo]

They are not what we needed in 1996, or 2008, or 2012 either.

If they were, they would have won.
