"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Cruz is the only guy who is willing to destroy Hillary Clinton with the facts in a debate. He doesn’t care if she is a woman.

No doubt he would shred her in mere seconds in a debate, and he wouldn’t treat her with kid gloves. Frankly, she needs to be schooled, politically speaking, and Ted would certainly do a number on Shrillary in the presidential debates.

Cruz is the only male, willing and able to destroy Hillary, but it’s pretty well substantiated that Carly Fiorina has been the biggest attack dog on Hillary. She can get away with it because she’s a woman.

I’m worried that that FOX News hosted debate will somehow exclude Cruz. I think FOX will manipulate the results of their polling to determine who is in the top ten and therefore invited to the debate. I don’t trust those avid Jeb supporters.

That’s what worries me about Scott Walker. He comes across as a meek, easy going guy. Someone help me out here: If he is the nominee, would he have the tenacity to go after Thunder Thighs in a Debate like Cruz can? I hope so, and, he could surprise all of us. He could be Clark Kent coming out of the Phone Booth as Superman.

I’m thinking your fears are unfounded, dandiegirl. Whatever their faults may be, and there are quite a few, they are NOT stupid. They know that the type of people who keep FOX #1 in the ratings are people who support the likes of Ted Cruz. They would drop lower than MSNBC if they tried to pull that. No worries.

Frankly, I think Jeb is already toast. The two RINOS we need to keep our eyes on are Rand Paul and Marco Rubio. As for FOX excluding Cruz I don’t think you need to worry about that. He’s easily in the top tier of candidates, and no poll can be manipulated enough to hide that fact.

What is impressive, among other things, is how in the first few minutes he rattles off a long series of Hagel’s failures to disclose his record of speeches and related financial information, and he does this while maintaining direct eye contact with Hagel throughout. I conclude from this and other factors he must have a remarkable memory, coupled with the rock solid personal confidence to wield it like an intuitive minja.

My dad used to tell me about studies he had heard of when he was getting his masters in education at the University of Chicago. One of those studies was about gifted individuals, how each in his respective area had surprising abilities that correlated directly to their professional success.

For example, if I remember correctly (and my memory is nowhere as good as that of Cruz), He said that Jack Dempsey could catch a fly in flight between his thumb and index finger ... without killing it. And that Babe Ruth could read the label of a vinyl record spinning at 78 rpm. Babe is also said to have been able to read the position of the stiches on the ball, and so strike for maximum effect.

So I think if you have someone who has accomplished as much as Cruz, you are looking at a person who has more that just the “right beliefs.” You’re looking at someone uniquely gifted to put those beliefs to work and knock the ball out of the park in the real world. I like some of the other contenders. But if we want someone in there who has both the beliefs *and* the raw talent necessary to really derail the left, I see no alternative to Cruz.

Peace,

SR

How do you feel about Cruz voting for cloture on the trade bill yesterday? I’m curious. I was very troubled by it. I still don’t get why he did it. I’ve been cheerleading for the guy all along and now this.

That’s one of the things that worries me about Walker. He’s too meek and mild. I’m afraid that he and his administration won’t defend their positions in a strong and forceful way. Similiar to the Bush administration. They didn’t fight back. They just sat back and took the criticism from their opponents. That passivity demoralized the base and was a hindrance to other Republicans seeking office.

That being said, I hope our nominee is either Cruz or Walker.

I agree. Jeb is toast. The more people see of him, the worse he does, much like Hillary.

When I see Scott Walker, I see Mr. Rogers with a bit of a dark side. His fights are about self preservation, not about policy. If you really look at where he stands on issues, he’s very weak on immigration and scial issues.

Yes, well, according to the online “urban dictionary,” that’s exactly what it means. Learn something new every day. :)

One thing that Cruz has made me realize is that the MSM is not some sort of indestructible force that can never be conquered and taint conservatives with a wave of their hand. Ted Cruz calls them out on their BS and he dismantles them, do any of our other candidates do this as well as he does? The answer is no, that’s just one reason why I am strongly supporting this man for the Presidency, I’m tired of the old go along to get along republicans.

Walker to me is a dull candidate. Kudos to beating the unions and winning reelection numerous times, but he doesn’t stand up to the line and GOPE like Cruz does.
