This made me laugh. I never made that connection before, but it's so obvious now that you've pointed it out. : )

Your mangling of terms and misunderstanding of the ideological constitution of the Senate aside, the problem with this theory is that there are recent candidates similar in views to Ted Cruz who have not earned the intense opposition he has. Cruz isn't the first hardcore religious righter to be at the dance. I know you feel the most conservative legislative body in the history of the Republican party is mostly a bunch of liberal Republican In Name Onlys, but that doesn't change the fact that Cruz isn't the first Cruz-like candidate to run. Supposedly he's just that much of an asshole.ldsfaqs wrote:Cruz is hated for a few reasons. It's mainly the Senate when it comes to leadership what we call "establishment Republicans" a.k.a. RINOS, and some general big donors are because they are social conservatives, meaning liberal in social issues. The establishment republicans hate him because they are often to liberal for our tastes, and Cruz is a conservative in every way and Constitutionalist, whereas the establishment likes to dole out the money and not actually stand by conservative principles instead compromising them often in the name of "getting along". And so Cruz when he operates, he does the job as it mostly should and can be done, thus the establishment rino's don't like it, being used to doing things their way, pork pork pork, compromise compromise. Cruz is also a strong Christian and the rino's don't like that either like I said being more liberal leaning on social issues.
The establishment seems to be thus supporting Rubio because of all these things. He can be controlled, he's not a true blue conservative, is more liberal on social issues, etc.
This is talked about a lot out there on talk radio and other fully/nearthereto conservatives proponents.
