It's just like everything. Dissent is patriotic...as long as it's done by a liberal.
Freshman senators can speak out of turn...as long as you're Al Frankin.
If someone on right disagrees, they are racist or obstructionist. Cruz is a wingnut who is rude.
Dissent during the Dubya years (aka "Stupid, unnecessary wars" years)--you were called a traitor and unAmerican. Now, it's patriotic? Riiiiight.
Freshman Senator comparison. So Cruz = Franken. Gotcha. Congrats. You just slapped Cruz harder than any liberal newspaper has.

This is what is wrong with America right here, ladies and gentlemen. People with low intelligence like the quoted above will always stand in the way of the United States and prosperity.

BS during the W years is was PATRIOTIC to dissent. Go back and look at all the shite that was said about him, especially by the lame stream media. Now if you say something about Obama or the Dems, you are racist and unpatriotic. You guys sure like to try to re-write history!

Cruz is a part of the problem. I don't get the valorization of another symptom rather than investing the time in a solution.
yeah. You're right. We shouldn't question the establishment. We should just bow down to them. And do whatever they tell us. This questioning thing is so... difficult. And besides, they are doing such an awesome job running things in Washington. We need to get out of their way.

The funny thing, Cwill, is that yesterday I posted that the NYT ripped him in the Sunday edition. When you asked for a link I realized I read the Sat edition on Sunday. So as it turns out even when I make a mistake it's not a mistake.
I didn't ask for the link...I think that was LSUgusto...I had already read it and just provided info that it was in the OpEd section...I guess this means you were wrong.

This line of thought honestly confuses me. If "ideological excess" by either party is bad, does that not inherently mean that both parties have bad ideologies? If yes, why do people keep voting for them?
do you understand what the word "excess" means??

Idiots like Cruz alienate moderates and are the reason we're stuck with Obama for two terms.

Cruz is upsetting the good ole boy club. They don't like that.
They have their rules you know.
You aren't suppose to be seen until your third term, and only then are you allowed to criticize a Republican. Not until your fifth term can you say what you want (if you still have the energy).

No doubt. John McCain and Mitt Romney are so hyper-conservative...

McCain picked Palin as his running mate. Fail. Romney didn't stand for anything so people looked to the general tone of the party for what to expect from him.

Global Warming does not exist. Those who believe in it are anti science.
The Republican Party has never issued a law requiring people to go to church and never will.
