I’m convinced he’s the RIGHT deal!

I love and will support Louie Gohmert, and have said so many times here on FR. I would also like to refer you to Ted Poe, another super conservative that I would support for TX Senator.

Amen! I have long been a fan of Ted Poe and it's not just because he's a member of the church of Christ (where I choose to worship) and went to ACU. There is no daylight between my views and that of Poe, especially his zero rating from the evil NARAL cabal.

Ted Poe

[Vendome]

Bingo!

[rrrod]

Fine cept one thing...we need the votes. Bush can win by one vote in Florida and carry the entire state! We need get the vote out or all of this is just wishful thinking. IA is key folks.

[American Constitutionalist]

A Constitutional Republic to be accurate.

[trebb]

Holy crap on a cracker - perfect reasoning from a really unexpected source.

Go Cruz!

1. Leading in governance takes guts, determination, and a healthy sense of logic mixed with honesty. It is not an instant grits kind of thing, but he will gain the leadership respect because people will find this of him.

2. How much support did Reagan have with a Democrat Congress? His support came from #1 and also from going over the heads of all the media and Congress combined. It was the voice of the people who swayed what the leadership of governance reacted to.

The key component in this article is leadership, which is very lacking in DC at the moment. True instinctive leadership is very hard to find. Cruz exudes it.

Rush Limbaugh has been on the radio for many years,he has always let it be known that he is a conservative and that he was not going to quit until everyone agrees with him,now I know it is tongue and cheek,but he has also said a few times that with all that he does,IF the American people vote to go socialist,communist etc. That’s it,that’s the way it is FOLKS.
In my opinion this country is and has been for awhile finished,done, over as I,a 65 year old has BEEN,used to remember it growing up. Not that if there was a complete change in attitude could it be changed again,but if you can see it you are a better man than I am Gunga Din.
Would love to see Ted Cruz given a chance to do that

[Yosemitest]

"WOW" is an UNDERSTATEMENT !

" He is conservative, VERY CONSERVATIVE, but I don’t dislike that aspect of him.
He is A TRUE REFLECTION OF HIS WELL-INFORMED POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
Those who run for office as liberal or conservative can be divided into two classes:

individuals who have thought and carefully arrived at their political opinions,

and those I would call “lip sync” wonders,
whose views are obtained by election opportunity, SAYING WHAT THEY THINK NEEDS TO BE SAID
AND THEN VOTING TO RETAIN THEIR PUBLIC POSITION.
Ted Cruz IS NOT the latter; HE CERTAINLY IS THE FORMER.

Further, he is AN EXCELLENT DEBATER,
having honed his skills from grade school on up through college
and then into the practice of law.

For a conservative, HIS VIEWS ARE FAIRLY STANDARD.
He would, among other things,
REPEAL Obamacare,
ABOLISH the IRS,
obviously CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING,
STRONGLY SUPPORT ISRAEL
and is decidedly IN FAVOR OF A STRONG MILITARY for the U.S.
In addition, his father is Cuban,
which may open a door for the Republican Party to CEACK THE HISPANIC VOTING BLOC. "

HOW could it get ANY BETTER ?

CRUZ or LOSE!

What You Need To Know About Ted Cruz ( 1:46 )

Take a good long look at where "Establishment Republicans" ALWAYS take us.

CRUZ or LOSE!

[stars & stripes forever]

[Will Cruz have enough support in the congress to actually pass an agenda (i.e. repeal 0bamacare, abolish the IRS, etc.) At this point it doesn’t appear that Ted has too any friends in Congress and him winning the WH (even by double digits) will dislodge the limp-wristed Boehner or McConnell.]

[Din Maker]

I’m somewhat suspect of his motive for writing this article. He is a DemocRAT and former State Rep. If we see many more DemocRATS, or Liberal media, singing the praises of Ted Cruz, that will tell me that the DemocRATS/Liberals want Ted to be the GOP nominee because they think he is an extreme, right-wing whack-o and would be the Pubbie most easily defeated. I welcome their “endorsements” and can’t wait to see the look on their faces when Ted blind-sides them and delivers a “knock-out blow”.

[SuzyQue]

How about a republic?

[Din Maker]

See Post #28. American Constitutionalist is correct: We are a Constitutional Republic. Big difference between that and a “Democracy”.

[Isara]

being a skilled debater and attorney doesn’t necessarily mean that he has the requisite skills to lead the nation. So this is a major issue that Cruz is going to have to resolve. Leading the voters is not the same as governing.

Though Ted Cruz was only thirty-two, he persuaded Abbott (former Texas attorney general, current Texas governor) that he was up to job of being the solicitor general. At this position for 6 years he led a team of 4000 people, including 700 lawyers and argued nine cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, more than any other Texas lawyer during this period and more than all but a few lawyers in the country.

[basil]

I’m behind Sen. Cruz all the way. He is one of very few politicians to whom I have made substantial donations.

[basil]

I would like to see Mr. Gohmert as our next senator—I think he’s the “real deal” also.

[SuzyQue]

Yes, I am always alarmed when someone, particularly someone who claims to be conservative, does not know what form of government our Constitution establishes, and does not understand the difference between a democracy and a republic.
