Please quote me claiming that Cruz's ability to terrify the Left is anchored to his "ability to win a national election"...or continuing enjoying your self argument. Cruz can cut their throats quite effectively from the Hill.
I suppose in 2016 when Cruz or Paul is running against Hillary you will beat me up for voting for neither side and choose a third party candidate again? Does it make you feel like your vote is canceled or something? I have never understood why people criticize others for who they cast a vote for, I wouldnt give you a hard time about voting for Bachman in the primary, I might laugh a little but... - - - Updated - - - Really? Not unless he can convince enough others to join him in the insane asylum
So how "effective" is being right now, Grok? How many in the Congressional Leadership support his "Defund or Shutdown" plan? How many House Repubs have signed on....and how many HAVEN'T? How many Senate Repubs have signed on...and how many HAVEN'T? Whose "throat" is he cutting???
It's fun to watch Liberals all upset and yet another Maverick non-establishment Republican. TED CRUZ 2016 !!!!
He's not. Grok simply believes everything he hears on Rightwing Radio and that "Ted is winning!!!!!!" I'm sure he also believed in the "Romney Landslide" too. - - - Updated - - - Hush, Montoya.....remember Democrats are SCARED of Ted Cruz. Real scared. Scared bad. Why if those mean Republicans wanted to really hurt Democrats they'd nominate Ted for President in 2016....what a horrible horror Democrats would suffer. So I SURE hope they don't thrown them in that briar patch.
Anyone who voted against Romney in the primary also assisted in his defeat. If he hadnt been pushed so far right he probably would have won. He couldnt even beat someone running for re-election on a failed first term. - - - Updated - - - Its fun to watch another maverick non-establishment republican pander to a very minority base and expect it to get him anywhere in a presidential election.
As evidenced by ZERO threads I've posted from right wing radio shows. Der.... nothing sillier than the Left Circle Jerk. And quoting a Leftninny Dept. Education declared RACIST STORYBOOK/MOVIE, "The Song of the South> at that..>!!
That "very minority base" has 50 members of Congress and many Governorships on its side. It is growing no matter what the Liberal Media claims and as people see the economic failure and the seizure of Liberties by the Authoritarian Democrat Party, more and more will flock to a sensible fiscal policy and a champion for Individual Liberties coming from the TEA Party.
Like I said, a very minority base. 50 isnt even 10%. Champion for individual liberties? I thought they were about taxation and fiscal conservatism and not liberties and social concerns?
Growing so fast that the tea party caucus website has had one press release listed on their website in the last 12 months, and 6 postings in their "in the news section since before June 1st and all but one of those were put up on the same day. Yeah, they are just so busy they dont even have time to mess with their website. And their numbers "swelled" to 52 members by the end of the 111th congress, higher than the number today. And also a chair person who knows she cant win re-election because of the swirling ethics violations and outing of her extreme positions. Yeah, they scare everyone to death.
So WHERE DO you get this idea that Ted Cruz is "winning"? I count 80 House Repubs, 14 Senate Repubs.......less than half...or even a third....of his OWN caucus. or does math have a liberal bias?
Did you have CNN do that poll? You should have Rasmussen do it, they are much more accurate. Maybe the Heritage Foundation has some numbers to back that up? I guess the Cruz supporters got out of the kitchen?
Not even a poll....it's Cruz's own COUNT of how many House Repubs (80 out of 233) and Senate Repubs (14 out fo 46) that he has "signed up" for his silly little scheme.
I'm pretty sure you are full of b.s. as the race was neck and neck but what I didn't see coming was all the disaffected white voters that sat on their hands rather than see Romney win. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ar...ase_of_the_missing_white_voters_116106-2.html I think the pain of Obama Care is going to motivate many of those voters to come back and keep the socialist lite left out of office and suddenly all those people that have spent the last four years crowing will wonder where their unbeatable lead went.
Are we supposed to believe that the paragraph which begins, "We need 41 Republicans...", but has no quotation marks is a paraphrasing of Cruz? A conman can't "fall for his own con" as he performed the con and, possibly, created the con. He might forget that it is "his own", but that would suggest some brain damage or mental incapacity. Cruz is smart. From what I've seen, he is exceptionally smart. As a matter of fact, he is one of the few who HASN'T lost my trust. To name two who HAVE: Rubio and Ayotte. One ought to reconsider reading anything from the Washington Post. I never do.
I realize you were being satiric. But I was throwing in some real numbers. On POLLS?....a poll done FOR Republicans showed that something like 58% OPPOSED a "defund or shutdown" plan......again, that's among Republicans. - - - Updated - - - And an ODD resemblance between Tail Gunner Joe....and Calgary Cruz....isn't there?
Yes.....just keep telling yourself that Romney was soooooooooo bad that "white folks just like you" sat home and let a "Kenyan Kommie" get re-elected. And that you're "still the REAL majority in this country, despite what the elections seem to show!" Whatever helps you sleep at night. - - - Updated - - - How many do you need to override a Senate filibuster?
