Cruz disappoints, he bowed to the praise of the dead murderer

Yep, Lee definitely deserves it, as well.

Yep.

Next in line is Ted’s father Rafael Cruz. Talk about fire in the belly. Imagine having Ted and His Father as the 2 Senators from the State of Texas.

It is been discussed. Seriously, I am in.

As much as I admire Sarah Palin, she didn’t actually DO anything to warrant this distinction as Cruz did and does.

I’m for that.

But they won’t touch elected office. Too many liabilities.

I think she did.

Remember when she joined McCain in the election. He was a total disaster before Palin. Lost but not an embarrassing loss like it would have been without her.

The Left Hates her more than Cruz, they fear her because she is female. That is a Leftist preserve. They take no threat to their base. Same with certain racial groups. See how they reacted to Allen West? Even the GOPe backstabbed him.

Yes, Palin was front & center in the Tea Party gatherings.

She is articulate, smart and has tried to unite not divide the GOP. Unlike the GOPe. They don’t like her any better than Ted Cruz. But they fear both of them.

Demint is now with Heritage. Remind you he resigned from Senate. Not sure of his motives, but I like Demint very much.

And Santorum? Not sure if he wants the ComDem guns aimed directly at him. There may also be some family reasons why he is not often discussed.

Ted Cruz is my first choice, but I voted for Mike Lee in this poll because he deserves the title of 2013 Conservative of the Year far more than some on the list with more votes currently. Please note this isn't a poll of most favored 2016 Presidential candidates.

Lee's knowledge and understanding of conservative philosophy and scholarship regarding the U.S. Constitution are very impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his recent book, "Why John Roberts Was Wrong About Healthcare: A Conservative Critique of The Supreme Court's Obamacare Ruling." It's easy to understand why Ted Cruz admires Mike Lee and calls him a good friend.

Mike Lee needs to have a lot more votes. He has been side by side with Cruz from the start.

Wonderful!

I voted.

BTW,
I’m leaving for Monroe, LA in 30 minutes to go see her!

Getting there early, so I can buy her book and get the instructions about the line and make sure I’m not LATE.

WOW!

It’s freezing cold outside. Who cares! Not me.
