In a one-on-one interview with The Brody File in Iowa, Ted Cruz says that The New York Times is out to get him by doing multiple hit pieces on him. “The media will tell you who they fear. The New York Times in the last week, has run a series of three hit-pieces all directed at me. It’s almost like The New York Times is a little bit nervous seeing a strong conservative getting incredible grass roots support, rising in the polls, raising money.” The NYT has come out with pieces that question how he can be against gay marriage and yet attend the fundraiser of gay republican donors. Look folks, it’s not like Cruz is stumping for gay marriage when he meets with gay donors. That would be different.
The interview was done in a private room at Point of Grace Church in Waukee, Iowa at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition event.
Watch out for Ted Cruz. Don’t discount him. He needs to work on shedding this perception that he can’t compromise but he’s got potential to rise. Watch the video clip below along with a partial transcription.

David Brody,” And the message to the media who say that they’re not going to put you in the top tier. They’re going to say, ‘Oh, he’s not going to have a chance at this.’ Your message to them as well?”
Senator Ted Cruz, “ The media will tell you who they fear. The New York Times in the last week, has run a series of three hit-pieces all directed at me. It’s almost like The New York Times is a little bit nervous seeing a strong conservative getting incredible grass roots support, rising in the polls, raising money. Our support, it’s not coming from Washington. You know, The New York Times, the day we announced said, ‘ Cruz can’t win because he is despised by the Washington elite.’ I got to tell you David; I thought that was the whole point of our campaign. You’re right, if you agree with business as usual in Washington, if you agree with the culture of corruption that Hillary Clinton embodies, then I’m not your candidate.”

Ted Cruz Ping! Funny, lots of people here fear him too. Odd that. One might make some uncomfortable connection...
America is on its DEATHBED, driven there
by a non American pRes_ _ent who does not even
have a SS#, and an ultracorrupt Give-Obama-Power (GOP)
party that LIES to its voters to protect
their Indonesian King Tyrant.
Dr. Cruz can save the patient ... or
prepare for your burial, America.
Nothing matters too much since the Democrats will have the election rigged by 2016. Illegals will be able to vote and millions will vote Democratic.
Any republican candidate better be prepared for this. The MSM and Democrats think it worked with Sarah Palin and they will do it to whoever the Republican candidates are.
And I am sure is completely prepared for this and eager for the fight, as well.
It did work against Palin. The same people that went full PDS -here- are now bitching about Cruz. So you can imagine what non political junkies will do. Believe every word of it.
” Funny, lots of people here fear him too. Odd that.”
Disgusting, but hardly odd.
Rove, and other GOPe hacks are no doubt prepared to pay new & existing FReepers and those on other sites to trash Cruz. Cruz is bucking the whole corrupt D.C. system, so they will spend a fortune to try to destroy him.
Very true, but I trying to Palinize Cruz isn’t going to be all that easy, nor will it work the same way.
OH NO!! I was told right here on FR that such talk is crazy! FR is immune. All other sites have paid and volunteer GOP/Liberal hacks sent to them to disrupt and derail, but not here...
I agree. But it will serve the purpose to frustrate and make people stop fighting. Just like they did before. Cruz won’t back down. WE (collectively speaking) will. Again. Same as every election. Then vote for the GOP hack because ...LESSER EVIL!
Bank on it.
It’s probably already happening.
It DID work on Palin - she will never be on a ticket at the national level again - not if she wants her kids threatened or her church on fire again...
“...so they will spend a fortune to try to destroy him.”
Other people’s fortunes - high risk investment.
Ted Cruz is not Fred Thompson.
Ted Cruz should be wearing a robe and sandals.
