Unlike Obama, you cannot find speeches from a year or two ago that diametrically contradict speeches he gave last week.

I’m voting for Ted.

How about in the general election, when he's not on the ballot?

Beware false messiahs.

Given what we have seen with Obama, that someone has an appealing persona and can give a great speech is no assurance they will be a successful President.

The comparison is a valid one.

Except of course when you look at Obama’s voting record as a Senator, and some of his on-the-record commentary that was WHOLLY IGNORED by the media before both elections.

But hey, who’s counting, right?

Imagine a media that’s intellectually honest, and investigative, like they used to be.

Well if you consider Obama is a hard core leftist bitch devoted to lying and scheming his way in opposition to all that is good, fair and just, and consider Cruz is the 100% opposite of that; a Godly, conservative, true American hero who loves America, then yeah.

Both are extreme examples of their craft.

A better comparison would be between Obama and a teleprompter.

The resumes are completely opposite. Cruz has a list of accomplishments a mile long.

Pray America is waking

Also one must be careful not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Be careful friend because the Cruzers will accuse you of being a RINO for not supporting him. I want the whole field to declare so we can get the debates going so we can weed out the pretenders and start to vett the contenders.

You make a fair point... he may not be on the ballot. But it will be because the GOP establishment criminals will do everything possible to destroy him (often in coordination with Democrats). Pretty damn sad...

They are actually trying to compare Ted Cruz to OBAMA??? We refuse to hang that bag of excrement around any Republican’s neck, but this pathetic rag, published by the NYT, is now trying to equate the two! That is a real low for someone whose wife is sucking swill out of the GOP consultants’ trough.

“He’s (Ted Cruz) not all that different from President Obama that way.”

Headshake!

Even the most stupid reporter knows there is no area where Ted Cruz is like Obama. NONE.

Anyone who says there is LIES.

They thought they had a win with Netanyahu ‘rhetoric’ and we know where that got them!
