Do rock-ribbed Conservatives like Cruz and Lee have more power and influence in the minority, or would they have more in the majority?

Could they do more if they could lead a Senate committee and set the agenda?

What would Trey Gouty be doing today if Pelosi was running the House instead of the weeper? Would anyone even know who he is?

You can’t build your herd by cutting your prized bulls nuts off and not letting them breed, and you can’t build tomorrows leaders by never letting them lead anything.

If the constitutional conservatives are too weak in a majority, they'll be ignored. And when something passes the US Senate with RINOs and some dems, the HOR will get enough votes to go along.

Look at the Democrats. A lot of them are supposed to be opposed to regime change and wars to satisfy corporate lust for oil and power. But they've been totally out of the picture....because Obama as leader of their own party has ignored them, and they won't disagree with the agenda. Have any of them objected to anything?

Hogwash! Gingrich rose to power precisely because the dems were in power, and they abused it, as they always do.

He earned his spurs by delineating the sharp contrast between the corrupt dems and the gop.

The gop-e is blurring those lines, and governing as dems when they are in office. As long as there is a gop-e, we will have nothing better than we have now.
