Speaking of establishment, I get to go see John Cornyn and Karl Rove Sunday. I'll try to be on my best behavior (I have to, I'm photographing the band).
“If 41 Republicans had stood together and just voted no, the clean debt ceiling, the blank check for President Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi want would have been denied,” Cruz said.
They swore they were going to demand concessions in spending before they would pass the another debt ceiling increase... but hells bells who cares if this country becomes Greece - certainly not the GOP or their sycophants.
Would the Democrat Senate and President Obama have agreed to concessions in spending? Or would they have resisted and blamed the GOP for defaulting on the debt?
If you and Cruz hate the GOP, why not leave it? Lots of people have. Cruz spends ALL his time trashing his fellow conservatives. No wonder he stood alone on this filibuster.
The GOP is half of the problem, the other half being the Democrats, and as long as party politics take precedence over anything else, nothing will ever change. Our system is exactly the way politicians have crafted it to benefit themselves and party interests only.
a good thread for an Obama joke...

Both good questions because the answers are self-evident to those with the honesty to think about it.What can be seen up thread is avoiding the question. Last time the public responded by blaming the GOP for threatening to shut down the government, playing brinkmanship with the economy, etc.
Exactly and I'm really, really tired of people putting an R over a D over the country.

If all I know about any given race is that there is a Republican and a Democrat running I'm going to vote for the Republican 100% of the time. In fact that is exactly what I do in the general election (only takes one mark on the ballot where I live). But in Primaries I'm going to find the most conservative person running in every race and vote for that person!Generally that is my approach, however one qualifier.
And before anyone asks me, MY definition of Conservative is one who understands, and will govern according to, the tenants laid out in the Constitution!
I did leave it because of people like you and the people you insist on supporting who are destroying this country. There is no difference between any of you and the Democrats.
These "true conservative" forums are entertaining.
FOS as usual.
Anybody who sees no difference between Republicans and Democrats is living in another universe.
Your boy Cruz has accomplished nothing in his short time in the Senate but alienating his colleagues and driving down the approval of his own party.
Well, that's not true. I forgot that he's been stuffing Tea Party cash in his pockets at a record rate. All for his own political benefit.
He's as big a showboater as Obama. Maybe bigger.
Which really makes me wonder if your only reason for spending so much time here is because you really get your jollies in talking down to everyone so you can make yourself feel like you are so much smarter than us poorly conservatives. You certainly get off on mocking the only people who actually care to save this country from the socialists in both parties.
Don't kid yourself. You're not doing anymore to "save the country" by posting on a website or thinking that a "no compromise" position is the only correct position than anybody else.
Did you post your comment to TS about "talking down to everyone" with a straight face?
I don't go on liberal sites and mock the liberals who post there, yet he spends hours here mocking conservatives and the Tea Party both of which this site is and supports.

So? Until Myst says this is exclusively a Tea Party site, all comments are welcome. Or are they not?
Oh, and he doesn't mock conservatives. He mocks a certain narrow segment of conservatism which, at times, deserves mocking.
I'm in general agreement with Tea Party objectives but not at all with the more extreme tactics employed by some Tea Party politicians.

No 3rd parties, ever.
Stalking.. ~LOL~ in your dreams. I was the third post on this thread........
to quote your first comment on the thread:

It was a pure slam at this forum and conservatives.
Instead, McConnell and Cornyn avoided the shutdown scenario, robbing the Democrats of an issue.
I vote strictly conservative, Republican. No democrats, ever. No 3rd parties, ever.
I do NOT idolize politicians. I am (should be) free to speak with scepticism and cynicism about all of them.
If you introduce further qualifications, that I cheer when and for whom you require me to, I will be disqualified.
If you introduce further qualifications, that I be giddy at the latest fad candidate, I will be disqualified.
If you introduce further qualifications that I criticize who you dictate, I will be disqualified.
I spend far less time here than you, yet feel that YOU get jollies from stalking me like it is your job to straighten me out, teach me how I must be to conform here.
I call BS. On TOS and not FR, (the one that last I heard had a power hungry mod remaining; just about talking to no one but herself) You were not conservative at all; you fit right in with the hard core liberals there.
If you are a progressive so be it but don't say you are conservative or vote this way. I am not buying this.
Pity the geniuses McConnell and Cornyn couldn't figure out a way to stop the Democrats from further robbing the American taxpayer.

Who the hell cares if you "buy it" or not?
