I’m perfectly happy with Senator Cruz where he is right now. I’m not pushing for him to run for president.

If that ever happens, it will be for the courts to decide if he is eligible.

I am Texan who thinks Senator Cruz is what we need. Too bad our other Senator is not a Republican for Texas — only a Senator for the DC Rino’s.

But it is also critical, CRITICAL, that people face the truth that there’s a force who has been attacking the Constitution for many years and now they are coming to fruition under this current bunch. And that RINO, SQUISH Republicans have done nothing to stop them and have even helped them along the way.

We have to have the enemy plainly, clearly in our sights.

This is the enemy within America. That is destroying America from within.

It must be portrayed as a battle, which it is. Just to fault ill-informed, apathetic, low information voters for what is happening to Constitutional government wouldn’t be the best way to go. This condition of the masses is for sure enabling the enemy to succeed. But the nub of the threat is that there are forces in America that long ago set out to destroy what made America unique and great, like no other nation, ever.

People must meet the enemy.

They must choose up sides and fight.

And my point was about Ted Cruz being more able than the wonderful Sarah Palin, to explain this and argue this to the American people while himself running for the Oval Office.

Ted Cruz loves Sarah Palin. I believe she will have a very important role in this country, going forward. Just don’t know that it will turn out to be as a presidential candidate. If she were to become our candidate, of course I would support her. And along the way, in primaries, I would never try to harm her candidacy.

I’m just saying why I don’t come out and endorse her for president at this time.

I voted for Ted Cruz twice.

‘What difference does it make?’

From what I have read, the man is illegible.

We TEXANS are very proud of TED CRUZ and want to see him get several more just like him in the 2014 election.

If Cruz is ineligible, then he would make a great Senate majority leader and could do a lot with the right president in office. That being said, what to do about Chicken Boehner?

Not a NBC, his dad was not a U.S. citizen at the time of Ted’s birth in CANADA. I know that Obama has the wherewithal to skirt the law with impunity but conservatives ought to remain principled.

If Dewhurst had won, he and Cornyn would be Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Interesting that Cornyn has veered from the middle since Cruz's victory. I think he smells a primary challenge.

“I believe that is probably why Texas sent him.”

That is EXACTLY why we sent TED CRUZ to the Senate.

However, our work is not finished. We need to find a like minded replacement for John Cornyn.

Then, it’s your turn.

You are a Rand supporter..so is drumming up a Birther issue on Cruz really being as principled as you seem to think others ought to be?

I’m of the opinion that, although Cruz has been impressive so far as a Senator, it’s a bit early to float him as a possible Presidential candidate. I’m also of the opinion that in his current role as a thorn in the side of both the RINOs and Harry Reid, he can continue to provide this country with a valuable service.

We need to primary-challenge Cornyn. He is up in 2014. There has got to be at least another with Cruz’s principles in Texas. If we could get that person to run I think Cornyn would go down just like Dewhurst did. Texas voters could make that happen.

Who I support does not change the fact that the man is ineligible. I mean, to deny that and point to who I am supporting is a mistake.

Boehner is the biggest problem we have for the foreseeable future for sure.

I think we should run Cruz no matter what after what the dems have done with Obama. We should be in their face and dare them to say one word.

If it was wrong for Obama to do it, why would we give one of our own a pass? BTW, I LIKE Ted Cruz.
