"If Conservatism Is Your Only Priority, There Is No Choice Other Than Ted Cruz." Rush Limbaugh 2/11/16

[wyntrout]

We received our absentee ballots today. Cruz is the only one I gave any money... and that was the first in MANY years... maybe two decades. So far, he's still my choice. He will kick ass and get this country going in the right direction if elected.

I still have to convince my wife, though. She still leans toward Trump, but I have hopes that she won't nullify my vote.

I will definitely support whomever gets the nomination for the Republican Party.

"If Conservatism Is Your Only Priority, There Is No Choice Other Than Ted Cruz." Rush Limbaugh 2/11/16

Can't disagree with that.

My priority is actually accomplishing things. Just being a conservative isn't enough, you have to have the leadership and charisma to bring Congress and the people along for the ride.

I agree JohnR. As my FIL stated about being a good supervisor, "you have to be an understanding a-hole, not afraid to piss people off and willing to negotiate to get things done as long as the end result is mostly in your favor" I pretty much have to agree with that. We shall see.

Running a government is usually about making deals. Your side agrees to spending cuts if our side agrees to tax increases (Reagan & Tip O'Neill, a deal that failed). There has to be something in it for both sides. A pure liberal like Oturd will never compromise. A pure conservative shouldn't compromise, because we have nothing left to compromise with. We've already given up nearly everything, and that's why we're teetering on the edge of disaster now.

Is it possible that we are beyond a point where ideology matters? If you're on the sinking Titanic, do you care whether the rescue ship's captain is a liberal or a conservative? Let's save the passengers first (and not load the ship down with more passengers), then we will have the luxury of ideology. No matter how much I agree with Cruz on issues, I'm not convinced President Cruz can un-sink the Titanic, when most of the crew wants to make the gash in the hull even larger.

If Conservatism is your only priority...IMHO you're way short on priorities. Just sayin'

I'll admit I would love to see Cruz debate Hitlery. He'd tear her a new one.

Spot on. Trump is the only one that can and will get it done. After that, it will be time for Cruz to step in and keep it going.

I resemble that remark.

That would be good.

I'd also like to see the hildabeast debate trump and accuse him of disrespecting women. His response would bring down the house.

[muggsy]

Compromise is a way of getting things done. We've been compromising with liberal socialists for years and the country is closer to going socialist than ever before. How many of your core values are you willing to compromise. How many of or constitutional rights should we be willing to sacrifice? Maybe we should give up our assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

[JohnR]

A deal and a compromise are not the same thing. In a deal, both sides get something they want. In a compromise, each side ends up with less than they wanted.

I'll admit I would love to see Cruz debate Hitlery. He'd tear her a new one.

Yes, except that no one in control of debates will ever allow the right questions to be asked.

[b4uqzme]

^^^ I don't think the questions matter that much. Nobody EVER answers the questions.....

[muggsy]

Touche, I'm still waiting for Trump to tell us how he's going to make America great again.
