Somebody Needing Help Doesn't Have To Equal Losing


It looks like the smarter half of Dumb & Dumber acted like it:

  A key challenge for Paul if he runs would be to make himself acceptable to — if not win over — traditional Republicans. His low-key approach to the shutdown and debt limit drama could help that cause.

“He was a reasonable voice in a very difficult time for the party,” said one top national GOP strategist. “He wasn’t as strident as Cruz. When he recognized there was no real end game in sight, he recoiled. He wasn’t on the tip of the spear. I think that did him a lot of good with a lot of Republicans, a lot of conservatives.”

Even Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) — whose budding presidential campaign is predicated upon taking on Paul and the tea party wing of the GOP — had kind words for how the Kentuckian has acquitted himself.

Paul is “a gentleman,” King said. In contrast, “Ted Cruz is totally different,” he continued. “I consider him to be a demagogue. … I’d say by comparison, Sen. Paul has gotten better. I have real problems with Sen. Paul’s positions, but Ted Cruz is in a class by himself.”


So, as the low-hanging fruit of Right-Wing "intelligence," all Cruz mostly succeeded in doing is taking himself out. Which is what Paul and King should do as well - willingly. They can't win the nomination or a national election. We coalesce around Christie for the White House:


We can turn this thing around,...

    And yet, when the polling is actually done--and is actually done among conservatives/Republicans instead of amongst RINO pussies--we find that Cruz is overwhelmingly popular.

    Of course, it's fascinating that a so called conservative like ol' Crackers here would go to left wing sources like Politico, Slate and Salon for his news.

    More demonstration of his fundamental dishonesty I suppose.

    If I may ask you Mr. Jarrett, where do you get your news from?

    Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps your news sources are just as lost in narcissism valley as those on the left?
    That they wouldn't publish a non-slanted poll as well?
    Or that anyone who encourages you to think that one subset of any political party are the only ones worth thinking about, gaining opinions from, following, is probably wanting you to get lost in narcissism valley with them too?

    I get my news from a lot of sources both left wing and right wing. What I have come to notice that in hating Ted Cruz, the tea party, fiscal responsibility, Mitt Romney and the Mormons that Chris Matthews and the Crack Emcee are the same guy.

    The idea that a ham and egger like Peter King has a chance to win the Republican nomination is one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time.

    I don't ever remember reading where Crack got a tingle up his leg from Obama -- so I kinda doubt that.

    And the Tea Party has become a really bad parody of what it once could have been (I chalk it up to "death by grifter" and some wilful ignorance). So I can see why somebody would hate that.
    Ted Cruz has just done a number on the GOP and accomplished nothing other than that imhao, so I can understand hating him too.

    Because honestly, there really did need to be a party of opposition to what the Democrats are running...and those two things just gave that a big ol' donkey punch. It really is enough to make a person pissed -- especially when some people who should be supporting a party of opposition seem to be just pleased as hell that this has happened (ehem, sane opposition, winning opposition, successful opposition...that might need clarifying).

    As for fiscal responsibility: where, WHERE have either the Tea Party or Ted Cruz or any of the rest of that group shown any true allegiance to the notion of actual fiscal responsibility? Where? Show me please -- and I don't mean making noises or stump speeches or any of that, actual doing things that would be responsible fiscally, that would work in the real world to the maximum benefit of everyone (not some ideological preacher man tent revival that really has no application in the real world? better clarify that too)?

    Ah...now you know why some folks are pissed (or you don't; if so, carry on).

    As for Mitt and the Mormons: have they given any money back to the people who have donated to them?
    And have the Mormons stopped mining personal data for their dead dunking?
    And have they quit with their pyramid marketing schemes?
    Or those self help camps that kids seem to wind up messed up or dead at?
    (I want actual proof, not pinkie swears btw.)

    That could cause people to get a bit pissy, just a thought.
