Demonstrably false. We’re a minority, even within the GOP. Yet, we exert an enormous influence. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee’s efforts during the Sequestration were brilliant.

We got a first taste that we really don’t need all that spending. The Cromibus is proof that the GOPe and the crony capitalist are terrified of us.

We’ve got a fight on our hands, but right now Big Gov is in the toilet. Look at the polling. I talk to young people all the time and they get it. They know its a ripoff and they’re paying the bills.

We need effective conservative populist measures.

Have you ever read War of the Flea? Look it up. That’s us. We’re insurgents and it doesn’t make sense to line in rows and go head to head with the Establishment. We’ll get slaughtered that way.

It’s not false.

Let me use Iowa as an example:

Delegates to the precinct caucuses, the district caucuses, and the state convention passed a relatively conservative platform, ostensibly pro-life, pro-natural marriage, etc., and they elected members to the state GOP committee who ALL supposedly support that platform.

But what happens? The committee hires a chairman and staffers who scoff at and disregard that platform. The new spokesman for the party is a supporter of gay marriage and homosexual candidates for public office.

We supposedly overwhelmingly win a huge majority in the Congress. What happens? Straight ahead off the cliff we go.

Heads I win, tails you lose.

“We’re a minority, even within the GOP. “

Do you have proof of that?
