Midknight Review -- new and revised: Cruz moves up the popularity ladder as Obama and McCain falter.

From Daily Mail because the American media refused to run this lede story:

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the tea party darling who staged an unsuccessful 21-hour-long quasi-filibuster this week opposing government funding for The Affordable Care Act, has emerged as Republican voters' top pick for the 2016 presidential nomination, according to a poll released Friday.

The Public Policy Polling survey [PPP] found that 20 per cent of Republicans favor Cruz, followed by 17 per cent for Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, 14 per cent for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, 11 per cent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and 10 per cent each for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. Louisian Gov. Bobby Jindal polled 4 per cent. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum brought up the rear, with 3 per cent support each. Nine per cent said they supported someone else, or had no opinion.

Editor's notes: I listened to several hours of Senator Cruz's 21 hour speech. It was great; much of it was on point and not one word spoken by the Senator denigrating his opposition or bashing those within his own party who took time to slander him and his effort.

It is time for new leadership within the GOP and that effort is well on its way. With all the talk of Obama being our first black president and the historic tone of the 2008 election, most folks have forgotten that McCain lost that election by just 7% of the popular vote, and he lost because informed conservatives refused to support him and the grand hypocrisy he represents.

There can be no question as to whether McCain is a Big Government, compromising fool. Heck, he even supports a terrorist leader in the Syrian rebellion as he holds hands with the likes of Dick Durbin and Charles Schumer. Disgusting.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
