Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) may be the brightest light to adorn the Republican party in many years. He knows how to make the case for conservative ideas, pointing, for example, to the contrasting fates of Detroit and Houston to illustrate the superiority of conservative policies. So it’s particularly galling to see that rather than train his fire at Obama and the liberal machine that cocoons him, Cruz has become a one-man wrecking ball against Republicans. His most recent foray into sabotaging his colleagues concerned the debt-limit increase.

Because Speaker Boehner sent over a “clean” debt-limit bill, Republican senators had decided to let it pass with only Democratic votes. Republicans would not be endorsing the Democrats’ spending priorities, but neither would they be opening themselves to the accusation of flirting with national default. With Obama’s political fortunes sinking and several “red state” Democratic senators in jeopardy, Republicans have a good chance to retake the Senate in November — unless they fall into civil war....

I can remember McCain calling conservatives whacko birds and hobbits. Did you write about how wrong he was, Mona?

Conservatives have been targeted in a viscous back stabbing campaign since the very day after Romney lost.

That's a pretty bold lie — it started way before the primaries were underway and merely got worse.

First they ignore you. Then they mock you. Then they fight you. Then you win. Stage three!

At this point the GOP is so entrenched with the Democrats, they are the Democrats.

If you damage the GOP, you damage the Democrats.

Hey FReepers: If we can get John Cornyn forced into a run-off in the FIRST major 2014 Primary in the nation on March 4th, all the RINO-loving talking heads will crap down both legs. And, if he loses the run-off, they will stroke-out.

Remind all your family and friends, who are voting for John Cornyn, to vote in the GOP Primary on March 5th.
