Dear Readers,
I had the opportunity to listen to Ted Cruz yesterday. As a Christian voter and lifelong Upstate New Yorker I value the things he had to say. He was a breath of fresh air to our area! A welcome contrast to the typical pompous, political windbags like, Gov. Cuomo, Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, Paul Tonko- and the Times Union Newspaper- (which absolutely stumps for all of them on a regular basis).
I love New York… I was born and raised here. All my relatives are from here, and post active-duty military service, my husband and I returned to raise our children here. While he was serving, we lived all over the country. Of all the places we lived, it was hard to compare to the beauty of the Catskills and Adirondacks. We have so many stunning rivers, lakes, and countless choices of hiking, swimming and skiing…
Yet, so many wonderful, hardworking New York natives have fled our state. Why? Because of corrupt, bullying dictator politics, over regulation, oppressive taxes, and zero job growth! So it was refreshing to have a level headed candidate, who actually respects the Constitution, come and address voters in our area. People in upstate are hurting economically and the power hungry Albany machine has done nothing to help.
Ted Cruz is morally grounded and reveres God. One of the things that is of utmost importance to the Christian voter is that he values protecting innocent life. Again, unlike New York blowhards-(Gov. Cuomo, Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, and Paul Tonko) Ted Cruz is opposed to abortion. He actually takes to heart and respects that God is the creator of life…all life!
While our own ‘Dictator in Chief’ (Andrew Cuomo) wastes his time, and our money, making ridiculous travel bans to Mississippi and North Carolina, and has repeatedly told fellow conservative New Yorkers we aren’t welcome here…. Ted Cruz focuses on smaller Government, tax alleviation, and job creation- something conservatives have been longing to hear from a serious candidate. Conservatives understand that in order to see any economy thrive we need to stop over-regulation and decrease the taxes.
After 8 years of Obama and his calamitous regime, we need new, fresh leadership. Hillary Clinton doesn’t honor life. She is pro third trimester abortion up until the time of birth. She also abandoned our servicemen in Benghazi. Bernie Sanders supports third trimester abortion as well, and wants to increase our taxes even more…
How a person values other people’s lives absolutely determines how they will govern in office. Why? Because how they regard the worth of another human life, determines where their moral compass is and how they will carry out everything they do in political office…If a leader doesn’t value life, they will also disregard and be callous to other matters of governing and legislating that require principle and virtue.
We need a President of the United States that truly honors and reveres life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe Ted Cruz may be that person.
Cruz is playing the role of the turd in the punch bowl, deluding the gullible to join the evil in the destruction of America.
At least he is not playing in the Toilet bowl like Trump!
Jersey needs the “breath of fresh air.”
So you think upstate New Yorkers are a gullible punch bowl?
Nice article.
“We need a President of the United States that truly honors and reveres life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe Ted Cruz may be that person.”
Well said. Pray God to answer our prayers for America during this election process. Amen.
I for one, won’t disparage a heart felt statement and plea for support of Ted by this one person simply because he wants better for his state than Democrats have given him.
Further, it is refreshing to see someone who states his reasons for support for a candidate instead of trying to demean, ridicule and tear down the other opponent simply because of hate and fear for his candidate.
Your post IS refreshing 2DV. Perhaps you should try more like this than what you have become famous for here now. It goes a lot farther.

Cruz omits the odor of a barnyard. He killed Trump and, therefor,the ideas of Trump which were wanted by the GOP middle class voters who again have no champion.
They’re bitter clingers
I’ve heard that if any candidate gets a majority of votes, he gets all the delegates in NY, otherwise they are awarded proportionally. Cruz know he can’t win NY, but he may be able to keep Trump below 50%.
Ted Cruz is morally grounded and reveres God.
Ted expanding the base again I see...I stopped reading after the morally grounded and reveres God comment. Pretty apparent Cruz's campaign wrote this and submitted it.
Except 2DV went on to say “Cruz is playing the role of the turd in the punch bowl, deluding the gullible to join the evil in the destruction of America.” so there’s that.

Ted is NOT the Face of God.
Jesus is... and no one else. Heidi.
No, I believe that was SOULED_OUT who posted that.
2ndDivisionVet, I do admire your perseverance here on the Ted issue, I really do.
My ability to absorb the constant attacks on my integrity, my service to this country, my Love for all she SHOULD be is obviously not as strong as yours.
If Trump is the answer, the question must be something regarding reality TV shows.
I will support him if he is the nominee, till then GO TED GO!
2ndDivisionVet: As a Cruz supporter I’ve seen your name quite frequently, posting positive Cruz articles. Thank you. It is much appreciated.
It’s gonna be a tough slog corbe. Anybody but Hillary ( and yep, that’s gonna be damn tough to swallow, I fear )
Cruz is who he is all the time. Rubio delegates will give Cruz the win on the second ballot. Trump might regret then trashing all the republicans along the way which has led to his diminishing support instead of growing support.
