"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton |

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

I'd rather have reliable, trustworthy, actual conservative aids to help me run a campaign, then the alternative.

I was going to ask about their capabilities. You’re answer doesn’t sound like they are
the top notch operatives in the state. For preliminary work they maybe okay with
the intent to change is he truly makes the effort.

Iowa relies on face to face campaigning. Locals to line up private homes to stay in and who know local venues for meet-and-greets and to keep track of media interviews work fine. Big strategists might even be a handicap.

Very sad.
At this time, he doesnt appear to be the man I thought he was.
From the article:
Doesn't take much to shake your faith, does it?!
Just a misleading headline.

This country boy has made his mind up and it’s CRUZ or LOSE!
Much rather live in the woods before I vote for any one else.

Thank you God for Ted Cruz. I feel like I’m wandering in a vast desert of republican mediocrity, starving for a leader with the requisite vision and skills to articulate a compelling argument for the benefits of returning to limited government and more individual freedom. He refuses to accept liberal premises, and uses their lexicon against them.
I watched most of the speeches at that republican meeting a few weeks ago, and Ted was a freaking rock star there, eliciting uproarious applause. And when King kicked off the last segment of the meeting, in which Cruz was about to speak, he referred to that segment as the “main event”, and boy, was it. In case you didn’t see it, Ted proceeded to speak extemporaneously and without even once approaching the podium for about 25 minutes.
No candidate is perfect, of course, but IMO it is not even close with this slate of republican hopefuls.

Yes, it’s becoming more and more evident that Fox is, for some reason, at least partially boycotting covering Cruz. They seem to downplay anything to do with him, i.e., when they were presenting the polls after that last conservative conference in Iowa, they would always cut the poll results off at whomever the person was just above Cruz.

Yep. Fox News snubbing Cruz is noticeable.
Plenty of Linda Graham though.

Something will be gained by the elected representatives of the American people voting to fund the illegal amnesty of a tyrant.
And that is the fall of a once great country.
It takes a lot to shake my faith.
I’m sorry, but I cannot support or vote for a man who just voted to push this country closer to its downfall at the hands of a tyrant and at the hands of quislings.
Very little time remains for America, and any delay is critical.
Sorry, this stinks.

Salier is viewed very favorably with Iowa conservatives. Not sure about his strategery, but a solid name nonetheless.
