Cruz to tea party supporters: Don't get 'burned' by fake conservatives

[DCPatriot]

Now they are "an odd breed." Just cannot stop yourself, can't zip it for a thoughtful moment?

I believe Cruz is too far to the right to be elected. I believe he holds several very unpopular positions.

I have not made a pick. My primary is in June. All of the nasty back and forth is entertaining for awhile, then boring, boring, boring.

BTW I don't like politicians as a group. Most have been sucking the taxpayer teat most of their adult lives. Cruz has. Trump has not.

People that make that distinction are hardly an "odd breed." They are actually the heart of what was once a pretty solid conservative movement.

But it is no longer solid, with clowns like Beck on the main stage, tears and all.

Excellent!

Calling others nihilists and chugging kool-aid?

That reinforces what others including Trump, say about (you and) your candidate.

Nobody likes. Can't get along.

You might look at Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People," however somehow I don't expect to find such literature or philosophies high on the Cruz supporters' lists.

The poster you responded to has said he supports Kasich.  How did that turn into an attack on Cruz supporters like me?

Your comment above reminded me of the greatest political rock-n-roll song of them all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XLMo524tPs

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

That's a great song,  Fishrrman, but the only lines that really matter you didn't quote:

  Meet the new boss - same as the old boss

That's a great song,  Fishrrman, but the only lines that really matter you didn't quote:

And, probably the most important line.
