If Cruz is too extreme for republicans, then it looks like we need to start our own party.

Which will be ideologically pure, and lose every election. Like the Libertarian Party has.

I'm not talking about "too extreme for the GOPe", who I regard as Dem collaborationist. We need to see how Cruz plays outside our little niche to Republican voters in general, and the independents. Cruz may indeed provide the fire needed to enthuse conservatives and moderate (something lacking in McCain and Romney) or he may turn off people outside his highly-conservative niche.

Just stop!

Yeah, we won the last election. so what. Boehener makes back room deals before they can even be sworn in. He punishes those that voted in a manner representing their district. Many campaigned on voting Boehner out, and then didn’t. We have trial after trial. Fast and Furious....IRS scandal....Benghazi. For what? Whose in jail? I heard Issa complain that he had been trying to get one person to testify at an irs hearing for months but the irs wouldn’t bring them. WTF? WHY aren’t they in jail? You or I wold be.

Do you honestly think this is about winning with republicans at this point?

Standing up for the Constitution is now “highly Conservative”?

Please tell me what other opinions Cruz holds that are highly conservative that don’t involve the Constitution?
