To me, Senators Lee and Cruz, the two leading most conservatives in Congress, more and more appear respectively to be tools of the Romney and the Bush Family wings of the GOPe.
Exactly. GOP plantation “principled conservatism” is all controlled opposition and beltway theater. The give away is that when the bullets start flying for real you can always count on the “principled conservatives” to go MIA.
As long as one doesn’t look too closely or unless there’s the give away reveal, they are focus group tested to look, say and do what a loyal voter expects them to.
Because, as long as those voter-bots aren’t startled too badly, they’ll pretty much do what they’re expected to.
Call me jaded, but these days their looking the part makes me think of the two crime family hit men and their “clean” backseat in Pulp Fiction.

Jules: Ha-ha-ha. They're your Senators, loyal voters.
