As a general principle no conversations have involved more varied opinions than discussions about the supposed conservative media and their seeming cognitive dissonance when it comes to issues surrounding Senator Ted Cruz.
Some people think these voices were just hoodwinked by Cruz and now their ego wont permit them to admit the falsehood. Others think the pundits are too close to the candidate to see the inherent issues and contradictions; some propose their punditry is connected to financial motives. Perhaps its a combination therein, but many people just cant figure it out...
All of those aforementioned voices know this fact. Limbaugh, Levin, Beck and Loesch are not stupid, they know the construct of how this all came down.
You see, it takes an intentional action to ignore the truth of how Senator Ted Cruz created, supported, and advocated for Trade Promotion Authority. An advocate cannot claim a position fundamentally disconnected from reality without intentionally desiring to do so.
Thats why these pundit voices cannot be just merely making mistakes, flawed thinking, or errors in judgment. Its not intellectual dishonesty at play here, its just flat out ordinary dishonesty.
Lying.

Yep.
The beat goes on, nothing ever changes, gotta make sure that conservatives don’t leave the reservation.
Talk radio is like pro sports to me. Used to like it, now it can disappear into the void.
This “liar” meme is ridiculous and does us no good.
I was a fan of them for so long that it feels like finding out the woman I was attracted to is actually a tranny. Will never look at or listen to the same way again.
If all you can do is criticize the author (sundance) why don’t you try doing your own original analysis and post it? Then we can read, compare, and criticize you as well.
WTF? Oh yes. The language of the left. It always involves the F, doesn’t it?
I have never seen even one Cruzer on Free Republic bother to read and understand Cruz's role and actions in accomplishing TPA and TPP.
I have never seen a Cruzer on FR defend TPA or TPP or Cruz's role in advancing them because the Cruzers have no clue about the meaning of any of it, because they choose to remain ignorant on TPA, TPP and on Cruz's role.
If they knew what TPA and TPP are, and that Cruz is responsible for advancing them, there is no way a conservative or a patriot could support TPA, TPP or Cruz. But they have not sought to gain any information on these (and a plethora of other issues).
You are delusional
I agree...this is a great article & it puts it right out there on how Cruz pulled this scam off. If one person who as posted supporting Cruz in this thread would read this & come up with some other explanation, well, I’m all ears.
All the “respectable” conservative pundits lost their credibility when they participated in the ongoing Conspiracy of Silence about Soetoro’s pathetic, crudely-forged “birth certificate” and his status as an ILLEGAL ALIEN. (Never mind non-NBC!)
And to add to your list, most Cruzers don’t know that Teddy has worked in government since he left college, including the Bush admin. His blind ambition causes everyone around him to despise him.
I think all of the zotted Cruzlims were well aware of all of this.
Cruz isn’t an evangelical.

I no longer believe there are Cruz supporters who are not one of the above.
“Are there any conservatives in our government? Dont think so”
Wow.
Not one.
Is Dave Brat a squishy moderate?
Does Donald Trump qualify as a conservative?
yeah, i’m sorry to hear rush was doing that. he should know better as a conservative and a Christian. i find that you can’t start talking down a conservative if you want to get anywhere. a bedrock principle of conservatism is that all men are created equal.
Bflr
“Senator Jeff Sessions and Trump.”
Sessions is good on immigration. On several other issues, his voting record is not as good as some of the other senators. Perhaps we should purge him along with Lee, Cruz, and others near the top of the conservative rankings.
“Thanks very much for asking.”
You’re very welcome.
How about evil traitorous bast Ardsley then?
I think it’s both accurate and has a nicer ring to it.
