Conservative Cruz Stands In Stark Contrast To Washington Establishment
Investors Business Daily ^ | March 23, 2015

2016: That sound you hear from Washington is the gnashing of teeth after Sen. Ted Cruz announced that he'll run for president. The irrepressible Texan's principled conservatism makes many nervous — and that's good.

As those of us who've interviewed Cruz know, he's hardly the brittle, conservative killjoy that the mainstream media try to portray him. On the contrary, he is charming, funny, scarily smart, a brilliant debater and more than well qualified to lead this nation.

He also knows the issues extraordinarily well and has staked out clearly identifiable positions on all of them. Which is why the media, progressives, liberals and even some moderate Republicans hate him so much.

And that's why the announcement of his candidacy is a great way to start the 2016 presidential campaign. Win or lose, he'll set the bar high.

He does not resort to question evading talking points. Cruz speaks from the heart and off the cuff. He really believes the stuff that comes out of his mouth.

He’s no fan of crony capitalism or the blue blood elite.

The left is terrified that he’s the next McCarthy and the right thinks he’s Huey P. Long.

This guy will be on the ticket as the nominee or VP and will be in the WH.

I’m going to make regular contributions to his campaign, he will stand up for working Americans, not the Washingtonians.

P-Marlowe :"He does not resort to question evading talking points.

Cruz established the language and the arguement
The White Hut speaks thru a smokesman
Crus gets to the heart of the matter Obainga speaks in smokescreen and talking points
Whereas Cruz speaks 'plain talk ', which Obadinga refutes and leaves to the smoke-spinners.
Josh Earnest is more Joshing you, and les\ss earnest !
Cruz is the "Real deal" !!
and you know what he stands for !!

I see Cruz as a MAN of integrity, honesty, and LOVE of America.

More than qualified to LEAD us back to the main road.

I love it when they knee jerk in obstinate seething opinions, stuck on stupid. This is all to the benefit of Cruz who can force them into explaining their opinions instead of having to explain himself.

The Establishment will do everything they can to stop Cruz including sending in people who say they support him now, but will back away later at a time of the GOPe’s choosing.

Agree but really like both men. Pair them up as President and Vice President and I think America would greatly benefit!
