Exactly my thoughts. I think people are starting to realize that hypocrisy.

It should be clear now my concerns were well founded. Cruz is indeed trying to undermine Rand. It has been his point all along.

Bingo. The people are fooled into thinking the parties and personalities matter but those in the military-industrial complex like the contractors are just looking for the money- they don't care if it is a Republican or Democrat delivering it.

It is nothing about left or right, it is about power and anyone holding power has the potential to violate the Constitution. Just makes Schumer look more ridiculous.

I started the thread around when Cruz was doing his "filibuster" and I thought Cruz was trying to steal Rand's thunder and undermine him. Was curious if anyone else felt the same way. If that can be used by opposition then lets make it so it doesn't keep coming up on top. Not sure how it could...

Is there a way to make it so it doesn't come up on top?

One can feel sympathetic for a movement while realizing it is still best for the US not to get involved.

Exactly. He doesn't help him in a primary because he will be competing for the same resources. Anyone who follows politics realizes this. Did Obama help Hillary in the 2008 primary by making her look less socialist?

Yep. That is what bothered me into starting the thread in the first place. I was realizing Cruz was trying to steal Rand's thunder and speak the language of the liberty movement and try to copy Rand's successful filibuster (even though what he did was not a filibuster) but really isn't a part of...

Cannot have a liberty agenda at home with such an interventionist foreign policy. It is ok to have allies- Britain, EU, Israel, Japan, etc.- but we cannot be the one who has to defend them.

Good news. With the easing of marijuana laws the people probably realized they liked liberty.

Where was Ted Cruz on the issue? Probably voted for the sanctions then headed straight to New Hampshire to tell everyone he cares about liberty ignoring the fact that you can't have liberty with such an interventionist foreign policy.

I see nothing wrong with this. There is no compromise on matters of principle to at least discuss ways of reaching a large demographic which has been going to the Democrats.

If they are admitting they blew it big time with Christie, why should anyone care what they say about Rand or anyone else?
