Only 1 Republican running for president scored a 100% conservative rating (Ted Cruz)

On a 100-point ratings system for their conservative voting records, there are essentially no Democrats in House or Senate who breeched the 40th percentile. Over 30 Democrats had a score of 0 percent this year, including Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia.

“We can only conclude that the former Democratic National Committee Chairman plans to serve one-term representing the Commonwealth of Virginia before he returns to lead the fringe portion of the liberal activist base,” Mr. Schlapp observes.

A slim few Republicans were rated between 40 and 49 percent on the scale, with the majority of them scoring 60 percent and above. Sixteen earned a 100 percent rating this year, including Sen. Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and Rep. Ron De Santis.

Hardly 100% given those conservatives who do not consider a native born Canadian citizen as being eligible for the Office of the President.

He’s my choice and I think he will make voters out of all who get to watch him debate.

Right now, until Ubama is thrown out of office for being what he is, Ted Cruz could have been born on Mars and it wouldn't matter.

I think we need to compromise on wherever Ted was born and focus on the issues/GOPE Speak

Right? That is what the left wants us to do right? Focus on the issues?

Throw their modus operandi back at them!

The GOP needs to understand without any doubt, that if Cruz ain’t the guy in 2016, we need to go ahead and prepare for a Hitlery admin, plain and simple. It’s that easy. Get behind Cruz, or get ready for Hitlery. REAL CONSERVATIVES are done with “lesser of evil” voting. It’s the real deal or nothing at all.

He is most definitely a true conservative with that 100% rating. I believe that a guy with even a 91% conservative rating is a "true conservative." In fact, on some scales it says 80%+ is "true conservative."

At least that's what I recall...

Sadly, I don't think they have a problem with that.

Then we know exactly where the problem is, right? And here's a hint: it ain't with the voters who are sick and disgusted and who will either stay home or vote 3rd party on election day.
