"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

RE :”Cruz: Washington elites won't be effective at picking GOP nominee”

So far they been great at it.

[BurningOak]

We will see if he is right or not. The GOP wants Jeb Bush or Chris Christie but even they are not ignorant enough to think these two can win. Most likely they will settle for Rand Paul and push hard for Cruz, Huckabee, and maybe Santorum to neutralize each other by splitting social conservative vote, just like 2012.

OMG, I heard that interview today on CNN via XM Radio!!! Cruz is simply masterful at articulating conservative positions, as well as adroitly refuting liberal premises, such as Anderson Cooper threw at him. It’s not just WHAT he says, but HOW he says it. Just amazing.

[Rome2000]

there has been renewed interest in former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Yeah, sure there has.

He let Terri Schiavo starve to death.

If he was right in the head and honorable he would make it clear he is not running.

Instead he walks around saying silly things about illegal aliens.

It's like a twilight zone episode

Oh come on, look at the great picks they have had for us in the past. They gave us Doyle, Mcain and Romney! Ok, all 3 lost but they were great candidates, weren’t they?

“Love?” So, that’s what it’s called?

Why.... all this time I thought Americans were being scr#wed up the @ss by the failure of our authorities to control our borders.

Jumping in.....

There is excellent TV on at present. AMC has a series TURN that is set in 1776 involving Colonists living on Long Island.

Some are already Americans and some cling to being colonists and some are pure loyalist, and at least one can’t decide. It is of course fiction but the characters are sharply drawn.

The British are depicted as both cruel and paternal, depending on the individual.

It would seem we now have the same divisions. Most of all the people living in New York and north east have reverted to being loyalists, colonials. The Americans live in the wide spaces of Fly over country

The show is on AMC

They are too much concerned with whose turn it is rather than the good of the Republic.
