YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS! CRUZ SUPPORTERS ATTEMPT COUP AT EAGLE FORUM!
Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly has been a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, A Choice Not An Echo. She has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972 when she led the fight to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment.
Phyllis Schlafly is 91 years-old.
On March 11, 2016 conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly endorsed Donald Trump for President at his St. Louis rally.
But not everyone in her organization, Eagle Forum – or her family – agreed with Phyllis Schlafly’s decision.
Last week Phyllis Schlafly released several board members for disloyalty to the organization. The group was planning to hold rogue board meeting to take over the Eagle Forum.
Today the rogue Cruz supporters attempted a coup.
They held a non-sanctioned meeting and blocked Phyllis Schlafly from their conference call.
This email was sent out Monday afternoon.
St. Louis, Missouri:
“At 2pm today, 6 directors of Eagle Forum met in an improper, unprecedented telephone meeting. I objected to the meeting and at 2:11pm, I was muted from the call. The meeting was invalid under the Bylaws but the attendees purported to pass several motions to wrest control of the organization from me. They are attempting to seize access to our bank accounts, to terminate employees, and to install members of their own Gang of 6 to control the bank accounts and all of Eagle Forum.
“The members of their group are: Eunie Smith of Alabama, Anne Cori of Missouri, Cathie Adams of Texas, Rosina Kovar of Colorado, Shirley Curry of Tennessee, and Carolyn McLarty of Oklahoma.
“This kind of conduct will not stand and I will fight for Eagle Forum and I ask all men and women of good will to join me in this fight.”
This is a developing story—-
This is basically how the microminority of Cruzers on this forum behave in general. They can't respect anyone for an honest difference of opinion over the free-trade cultist, pro-cheap labor, Mr. 'Common sense immigration reform' Ted Cruz. The person has to have something wrong with them, which then justifies any and all method to remove them, just like how Cruzers used to post threads demanding Trump supporters be zotted.
Yeah, I’m glad I stopped supporting Cruz. Cruz and Heidi seem very wrong for this country and ineligible to boot.
Agreed. They simply can not cope with the fact that other people simply disagree with them. They completely lose it every single time. It is a trend.
He has millions of less votes as well.
First of all Trump is NOT Bernie Sanders, and regardless of what you folks think about Trump being a liberal YOU ARE WRONG!!! DEAD WRONG!!! Right now Cruz has jumped into bed with the establishment and the MONEY AND DONORS!!! This is EXACTLY what the hell we are fighting against the establishment corruption!!! NOW the status quo is just fine with you folks!!!
Honestly Nana, Romney was universally opposed on this forum until the bitter end. I doubt if anyone who is opposed to Trump on this forum because they think he is a flip flopping inconsistent and lifelong liberal voted for Romney in the primary.
Romney was a GOPe plant from the beginning. The problem at that time was that there were too many conservatives which split up the vote and Romney locked it in early. Now we have two anti-establishment candidates left in the field and they are not only splitting up the vote but they are tearing each other apart and poisoning the well for the general election.
Trump has accused himself of being a “Great Christian.” (A term I would never apply to myself).
Is there enough evidence to convict him?
Assumes facts not in evidence. Where is the proof that Cruz had knowledge of an imminent Trump endorsement by Phyllis?
Additionally, anyone with a lick of sense would realize that, absent an official statement from Eagle Forum, no such endorsement of Cruz was being given.
Grow up.
Why is Ted Cruz such a slimeball?
Good thing the crluzer isn't going to get the nomination.
The Democrats would have wall-to-wall video of Clockwork Ted Cruz pushing Phyllis in a wheelcahir over a cliff.
“We’re talking about outright theft and fraud being perpetuated against other conservatives.”
That’s exactly what the left does. If you want to beat the left, you have to be willing to fight like them.
An that is something the GOPe should have done against Obama but would not and that’s why so many conservatives are PO’d.
We have found a fighter and that is Cruz.
"I don't think so," Trump, who is Presbyterian, said in response to the question from pollster and summit host Frank Luntz. Trump was among 10 Republican presidential candidates at the daylong event in Ames, Iowa. "If I do something wrong, I think I just try to make it right," Trump said. "I don't bring God into that picture. I don't. "When we go into church — and when I drink my little wine, which is about the only wine I drink, and have my little cracker — I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness. I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed, OK?
"But, to me, that is important," Trump said. "In terms of officially, I could tell you absolutely. I don't think in terms of that. I think in terms of, 'Let's go on and let's make it right.'" When Luntz first asked the question, Trump said that he was Presbyterian and that his pastor was the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, the author and longtime pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in New York City. He died in 1993 at 95 years old. "That's a tough question," is how Trump began his initial response. "I am a religious person. I'm Protestant. I'm Presbyterian. People are so shocked and they find this out. "I go to church. I love God — and I love my church," he added. "The great Norman Vincent Peale was my pastor. He was so great. He would give a sermon, and you'd never want to leave."Newsmax.com http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/trump-does-not-ask/2015/07/18/id/657832/#ixzz45dbWpHgp Donald Trump said Saturday that "I am not sure that I have" ever asked God for forgiveness, telling the 2015 Iowa Family Leadership Summit that "I just go on and try to do a better job from there.
So, what do you think? Do you think the widely reported "never asked for forgiveness" is accurate?
Frankly, I would prefer an unbeliever to someone who claims to be a "Great Christian" and has never once repented of his sins (that would include the deadly sin of pride).
I think I would have to number an unrepentant sinner who calls himself a great Christian amongst the unbelievers.
Am I wrong?
Is not repentance the very foundation of forgiveness and salvation?
I guess you didn't get the memo/word...it's excused by naming such as "passion".
Trump tried to dodge the question of whether or not he had ever asked God for forgiveness. In the end he basically denied ever doing it. I honestly don't think any Christian would dodge such a question like that, much less a "Great Christian".
You can vote for Trump if you think he will make a "Great President" but if he makes as "Great" a President as he has made himself out to be a "Great Christian," then America is in deep trouble.
You're doing a good job. Hang in there.:)
That is similar to how I envisioned the conflicting stories — just my view from the outside.
This thread is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen on FR.
There was about a two month interval between endorsements. Certain members of Eagle Forum endorsed Cruz on January 18. Schlafley's formal endorsement was on March 11, at a Trump rally in St. Louis.
That said, I do agree that she signaled a preference well in advance of making the formal endorsement. The seeds for this tension existed, so the timing isn't all that important. The only relevant issue is "who is in charge of Eagle Forum?" It is in the open, and has been for some time, that the organization has factions at bitter odds against each other.
Phyllis Schlafley Makes the Case for President Trump - January 10, 2016.
Schlafly says didn't endorse Trump, knocks Cruz - December 31, 2015
-- What an awful think to do to a 91 year old woman. Shame on Ted Cruz. --
It's not Cruz's fault that 20 members of Eagle Forum prefer him. It is their doing, even invoking Phyllis's name in their endorsement of Cruz.
