“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
What if Ted Cruz could win the General election and everything the experts know about politics is wrong? What if you don’t have to choose a candidate that mirrors the Dem selection and Americans are not as liberal as the media claims it is? The reason these questions are never asked or answered is that conservative voters have been shamed into a corner so they will never give their true answer to a pollster or members of the media. They don’t want to be attacked so they stay silent.
Before the last election here in Oregon we had a golden opportunity to win a Senate seat from whacky Wyden and some of us conservatives wanted a pro-life rock solid choice to take it to the Dems. Unfortunately just like the national elections all of the smart people in the Party told us we needed to nominate a moderate who was the darling of the media. She was the Jeb/George Bush of candidates who was both attractive and pro-choice, homosexual marriage, immigration and a woman brain surgeon, a shoe in to trick liberal Oregon.
We had all of the pundits falling all over themselves with articles in the NY Times, Washington Post and even a visit from Georgie Will letting us know how cutting edge she was. Here we had a woman who had done prenatal brain surgery who refused to say she was pro-life. What a perfect platform to point out the tragedy of losing a life, not to mention the damage it does to the woman who realizes days later she killed her own baby and all the issues that go with this tragedy. Nope, it could not be mentioned because she was going to get all those women’s votes.
Monica could have used her unique position to validate all of the pro-life people even if she did not have the courage to make that stand herself, but she never did. Rather, the managers from the East Coast told her to endorse homosexual marriage and walk a fine line on the abortion issue. She ended up losing by over thirty points as her campaign melted into a confused soup thanks to the Party brain trust. When you have no principles or moral values how can you ask anyone to follow you.
This is what the pundits are telling the Repubs to do once more. Try not to rock the vote and appeal to those switchover Dems since that is where they say the elections are won. In reality after studying the data, this is where the elections are lost as the switchover Dem is a myth, he doesn’t exist. The myth is promoted by the managers and pundits who get paid the same no matter what the outcome so they can keep face by losing gracefully while snacking on Brie and Chablis at their opponent’s galas.
Here is the truth of elections nothing matters with the message to the middle. The commercials do not change their minds and neither does the media. Both have been programmed out of their lives so those dollars the managers love spending are wasted especially down the stretch. Phone calls are basically a waste of time to change minds. Basically all of the noise that is made during a campaign is just that and not a single Dem voter actually voted for the candidate. Unfortunately thousands of Repubs did not vote at all by being insulted by their own Party.
Here is why Cruz is the best choice if he is legal to run. I suspect he is since he has argued in front of the Supreme Court numerous times. Compared to the rest of the candidates in the likely field he is farthest on the Right. His stands against Obamacare and the budget were epic and his oratory skills are off the charts. It will be a surprise if he does not blow the other candidates away unless you are a Democrat or a moderator, which is redundant. The Punditocracy will be uncomfortable with him since they have to explain much of what he believes.
His being farthest to the Right helps him tremendously in two ways. One is this is where the strongest and most refined conservative dialogue is articulated. This is where the leaders are developed who can explain what it is and where he wants to take them. The more you move to the middle by definition you move into more and more followers. The middle half of the spectrum are people who do not make decisions and simply follow whichever leader is willing to lead. They will follow Cruz before they will follow a weak kneed liberal. If we pick a weak kneed conservative who acts like a Dem they will vote for the real Dem like they did against Romney/McCain.
The bigger reason for him to occupy this end of the spectrum is this is where the activists live who do all the work. If you activate them they will not only vote for you they will bring anywhere from two to twenty votes with them. Repubs have a huge disadvantage on people willing to put their lives on the line even if they have the time which they don’t.
Not only will they not do the campaign work for you, if you insult them and their conservative lifestyle they will not even vote. They are insulted daily by the major media and pundiots so when a candidate agrees with the insults they say fine and drop the ballot in the garbage. This is something Ted Cruz will not do and will bring those conservatives out in force.
When it comes to elections the only thing that matters is making sure your people come out to vote and keeping as many of their ballots out of the garbage as possible. The DC groupthink is going to say this is nonsense and the only way to get those votes out is getting someone who will not offend the soccer moms and stay one onionskin to the right of the Dem. The dirty little secret is moderate women are the ultimate follower looking for someone to follow and give their children the best chance to succeed. The managers get paid whether this is right or wrong as do the pundits so following the same well worn path allows them to keep their jobs and enjoy the liberal social life. The other path is much more difficult and dirty which is how you win ugly rather than lose gracefully. Cruz could get an ugly win, just like Reagan did.

Thanks for thread A.B. Let’s give it a full court press to prevent Iran nuke deal (even though our Secretary of State is saying “God Willing” in Arabic in hopes that it gets done - traitors all).
Where’s Susan Rice? Figured that someone would have wanted her to provide some cover...

Kerry saying “Allah willing” in Arabic in his hopes of a nuke deal.
Seems Secretary of State John Kerry is there for another Democrat ‘con-job’, to con the other Democracies that this Theocracy should be allowed to develop Nuclear Weapons in the future. And if the deal goes through, just like pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan too early, the US Troops are left doing the grunt work of Mr ‘Know-it-all’ again and again.

As a donor to this week, I agree with you. I could also support Scott Walker or Rand Paul. All real conservatives although Paul is more of a Libertarian.
A REAL election would pit against Elisabeth Warren. There would be no wiggle room and voters would have to choose between the two ends of the political spectrum: conservative versus liberal progressives.
As Rush says, conservativeism wins every time it’s tried.
FYI, in CO we replaced our moderate GOP party head with a conservative. We’re hoping future party support will not pass over conservative candidates and the typical mantra of being middle of the road to win.
Yet in CO we continue to see Jews voting for Democrats.
What are they thinking?
There’s a reason for a lot of appearances by the Kennedy family: today is the grand opening of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate at the University of Massachusetts campus in Boston, MA.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
I was pleasantly surprised he got in early, great strategy and it should make it an uphill battle for the rest who seek the Republican nomination for president. Funny how Hillary is considered inevitable, while Cruz can’t win, I put my money behind Cruz and plan to donate more as long as he is in.
Morning everyone Fox and meet the press has Jack today.
Here's a clip from your second link. "....Amir Hossein Motaghi, who managed public relations for Mr Rouhani during his 2013 election campaign, was said by Iranian news agencies to have quit his job at the Iran Student Correspondents Association (ISCA). He then appeared on an opposition television channel based in London to say he no longer saw any “sense” in his profession as a journalist as he could only write what he was told. “There are a number of people attending on the Iranian side at the negotiations who are said to be journalists reporting on the negotiations,” he told Irane Farda television. “But they are not journalists and their main job is to make sure that all the news fed back to Iran goes through their channels.
Great stuff going on in Colorado.
fishing is still king here in the Keys.
I got a chance to talk about it a little earlier this week:
Kind of like Hillary and our own media/press, huh.
And good morning.
