Quote:Sen. Ted Cruz said Saturday that the GOP can bolster its appeal by sticking to its conservative principles and embracing a bottom-up campaign model that empowers grassroots voters.

Speaking at the Republican Leadership Conference, Mr. Cruz said the party must ditch the Washington-centric campaign model and stop listening to the political consultants.

“A lot of Republicans tend to have top-down Soviet-style campaigns,” Mr. Cruz said. “It is very odd for a party that believes in free market that they run campaigns through command and control.”

“That is disempowering and it doesn’t inspire,” Mr. Cruz said. “What is far more effective is having a race built on empowering the grassroots.”

Since being elected in 2012, Mr. Cruz has occasionally butted headed with GOP leaders in Washington, and has become a darling of the tea party and grassroots activists around the country.

The 43-year-old is now thought to be considering a run for GOP presidential nomination in 2016 in what is shaping up to be a crowded field....

The ‘political consultants’ that parachute in to Iowa or anywhere also hate normal middle class Americans because they are, admittedly lowly members, members of the professional political class which is culturally leftist and coarsely secular and materialistic. These people genuinely hate those who have an operating moral compass and values as they have none other than some sort of supposed commitment to’tolerance and compassion and inclusivity’ and it makes them very nervous to be around anyone who does believe in something. This is true of pretty much the entire political culture and the upper ranks of the bureaucracy, the military and the foreign policy establishment. It is very daunting for normal middle class Americans to keep their heads above the water and keep their children from being corrupted into coarsely sensual little statist materialists. The political operatives don't want conservatives to win and give lousy advice and guidance because both their biases and their ignorance of the local terrain.

I worry very much about Cruz’s safety. The people in charge are Stalinist at heart. They have no moral qualms about wiping out their enemies, only political ones. If they could get away with it, they would. And so they may try. And, sadly, I believe that guys like McConnell would secretly be happy, and there would be no consequences. Guys like us would be ridiculed as conspiracy nuts for even thinking the government could do that.

Yep


Pretty bat **** crazy statement there Ever. No one is going to assassinate Cruz. To the right he is a flea. A pest. To the left he is MANNA from heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
