You have had some good things to contribute to FR without a doubt. But you are oddly oblivious to the concept of conservatism.
Cruz is going no where except where we conservative Texans put him.
He is one of the few conservatives in the Senate.
Anyone who knows anything about conservative and liberal ideology should be able to, with the smallest amount of effort, discover that there are less than a third of the Republicans in office in Washington who are conservative.
Cruz and the few other conservatives may not be perfect, but we are not going to get rid of them and keep the liberal Republicans.
Forget it!
It’s a non-starter.
Move on.
Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee have been consistently conservative on their voting records. They’re not perfect, but mostly conservative.
Ron Johnson, not so much. I don’t know his reasons for siding with the other three, but if any of our Senators decides to convert to conservatism, it will be a welcome change.
Yes, Cruz is your problem if you come from Texas, but all of America seen what his true colors were during the campaign...
And as I stated: I haven't vetted Rand Paul that much yet nor have I vetted Ron Johnson, but will be doing so...
I don't take other people's words as ‘etched in stone’ and just because they have an R by their name doesn't always that is what Conservatism is...John McCain comes to mind...
So if you don't mind, I will make up my own mind, and since I am allowed to voice my personal opinions on here, that is exactly what I will do...
