After serving a term in the Senate, I would like to see Cruz appointed to the SCOTUS, replacing Ruth Baader-Meinhoff Ginsburg or Breyer.

What’s this? The Tea Party is alive and well? The lamestreams have been gloating over it drying up and blowing away. A “one time” phenomenon.

Rove can take this to the bank. We are not going away. The Tea Party is serious about making this nation great again. We want constitutionalists.
Romney better heed the Texas and Wisconsin victories as wake up calls. Big mistake to hire a Palin basher as one of his campaign spokesmen.

Did anyone else gleefully watch Dewie’s concession speech and hear him say, “as your US senator”?

Does he not get it that he LOST?

This is in the Houston Comical? They are shedding tears on their keyboards while writing this piece. Don't worry they will endorse the democrap in Nov.

The Texas tea party triumph means less compromise in Washington, said Larry Sabato, . . ."You wonder how we'll ever manage to avoid going over the fiscal cliff," he said. "There are now so many people in Congress who won't give an inch, on both sides."

Here we go. Cruz is one of those irrational zealots who is going to force the country over a fiscal cliff because he won't "compromise." We have heard this a lot and it is an incredibly ignorant statement. "Tea Party" candidates like Cruz focus on the fact that we are going over a fiscal cliff because our insane spending is out of control. He is the sane one. He is the one saying that we need to cut spending to avoid going over the cliff. That is sanity.

Morons like Sabato and the MSM, including a lot of RINOS, mindlessly babble about "compromise" without any context or history. Compromise for compromise's sake. They ignore how much the Dems have ramped up spending over the past 6 or 7 years, aided and abetted by Lyndon Baines Bush. Spending needs to be cut, Cruz will help do that. That is the sane, rational, adult way to deal with our situation.

I can’t figure out why the author seems so suprised. This is just the latest in a trend that really got rolling in 2010.

Rove, Coulter, Romney, GOP-E, do you hear us now?

The massive conservative Texas turnout is an omen of what is to come on election Day, November 6, 2012. Millions of conservative and Tea Party members will turn out to defeat Obama, big time!!!

First, the Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin victory and now Ted Cruz in Texas. Congratualtions Governor Walker and soon to be Texas U.S. Senator, Ted Cruz!!! ABO, folks, Anybody But Obama....and, destroy the “communist” Democrat Party in Texas and throughout the USA!!!

Folks, catch that Mexican-American vote along the border counties, supporting Ted Cruz (Cuban-American)

Wifey,

Good job, I live in PA so I couldn't vote but I sent him my {this year} standard donation for out of state conservatives, $20.12.

I have sent that same donation to many pubbie senate candidates including Sarah Steelman, Hodve, Smith in PA, and even once to Romney.

Like it or not, Mittens is our guy and it's either him or the death of Freedom.

With congress critter like Cruz and Lee and Demint we can keep Mittens and Mitch McConnell and weepers Boehner in line and doing the things that have to be done.

No surfer here, but the saying “catch a wave” applies.

The Tea Party does great grassroots work, but what causes victories like this, bottomline, is that the PEOPLE themselves are rising up.

Think how many in the LSM still misunderstand the Tea Party.

The TP is a reflection of what is happening with the people, not the other way around.

Congratulations to the soon to be Sen Cruz and also to Gov Palin, who once again showed how ‘irrelevant’ she is.

Watch out OBama! We are the Tea Party and we’re pissed!

Does anyone know who Dan Patrick supported in the end? I know on the radio he slammed Cruz and Dewhurst used it in a negative ad. Did he turn into a republican elitist after just a few years in office?

"People perceive a crisis," said Clemson University political scientist David James Woodard, a specialist in conservative politics. "They want leadership, not experience. They're open to ideological appeals more than a résumé."

People know the presidency is a lost cause, and that the only way to save the country is through Congress.

[ImpBill]

First time I declared Republican in order to vote for Mr. Cruz since 1998. It is a shame the GOP doesn’t have a conservative at the top of their ticket.
