Ted Cruz: 'Now or never' to save America
WND ^ | 8/5/15 | Garth Kant

Posted on 08/06/2015 3:41:45 AM PDT by markomalley

The questions don’t come much bigger.

In essence, it was: Is this last chance to save America as we know it?

Some might find the answer chilling.

WND asked Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas: If the Democrats win the White House again in 2016, will it be too late to prevent the country from turning into a permanent social-welfare state, and will it be the end of American exceptionalism?

“I do believe, with this election – it’s now or never,” was his succinct and foreboding response.

Why?

“The threats to our liberty have never been greater,” Cruz began to explain.

First, he addressed the immediate threat to all Americans.

“In just six-and-a-half years we’ve gone from $10-trillion in debt to over $18-trillion. Our debt is larger than the size of our entire economy.”

Then he referred to threats stemming from the political weaponization of the IRS and Justice Department under President Obama, including the targeting of conservatives for their political beliefs, as well as the targeting of religious individuals and institutions over objections to Obamacare provisions and same-sex marriage, and government spying by the NSA and Justice Department.

After 8 years of “fundamentally changing” America, it’s going to take drastic steps to “fundamentally restore” America. Whoever wins this election must be prepared to ignore the media and do what needs to be done. Part of that is going to include recognizing the danger presented by the large muslim population in the country.

I’ve believed this since the communist thug won (counting illegals voting, ballot box stuffing, and other vote fraud) in 2008. We can almost certainly survive eight years of pure evil. What we cannot survive is a successor who continues these wasteful, unconstitutional, and anti-American policies.

If a real president restores freedom of religion, repeals Obamacare, and slashes spending, our kids can be free. Otherwise, we’re on the way to Mad Max anarchy or Big Brother tyranny, and it will be unstoppable.

It is is incomprehensible to me that any informed conservative would prefer over Ted Cruz a man who has been notoriously wrong on abortion, wrong on taxes, wrong on health care, wrong on guns and in the wrong party.

It is incomprehensible to me that any informed conservative who has watched the administration of George HW Bush, George W. Bush, who has watched the reign of John Boehner in in the House and Mitch McConnell in the Senate would ever entrust their fate to an individual with a questionable conservative pedigree over a proven conservative warrior.

Cruz appears to be the cleanest man to run since Reagan and may actually surpass Reagan in some areas.

Maybe American hasn't fallen enough into the morass of hell when a person like
Trump can sway voters to ignore who he really is. Oh yea, Obama did that too.

We need a man who can work within the constraints of the constitution, not bully his way around it.

Man I totally agree but this is what we are up against. Why Cruz is not at the top of every conservatives list is unbelievable to me. And I do think Cruz is right about what we are facing. If we lose this one it really is over. See you in the re-education camps (or the morgue).

His H-1B proposal has soured me on Cruz.

And Trump will be a dictator in the WH, guaranteed. He's a business man
and that's how things get done. Will of the people, Constitution be damned.

We've already had our Roosevelt.

Cruz is right. But people are waking up. We’re getting voters, we also need to transition to warriors. First opponent to overcome is ourselves, we can’t afford self sabotage and the circular firing squad this time.

William Wallace and Robert the Bruce were victors, but the self sabotage of Scots fighting Scots made their sacrifices useless. If they had taken out the knives from their backs England would be Scotland.

not giving you a cookie before dinner.

Or take a match to it or steamroll it

Cruz clearly gets it, Buah does not. Not sure some of the others understand just how bad things are.

Teddy Roosevelt is exactly what I think of. Tough conservative talk for the win followed by a hard progressive turn once in office.

I agree about the H1B visas and I am disappointed that he did not vote with Tom Cotton on the Iraq deal but I judge these peccadilloes on a scale and realize that no candidate is perfect but some are flamboyantly imperfect. Trump falls in the latter class, Cruz is to be counted in the first group.

Ted Cruz wants to increase H-1B visas from 65,000 to 325,000 annually

I am not saying Cruz is bad guy, he is just a slightly more palpable mainstream GOPe type. A Chamber stooge like them all. Trump might be the only exception.
