Cruz is not what he claims to be. Big bank world government guy in sheep’s clothing.

SUMMARY: We found a few Cruz folks that can be linked somehow to neocons, but we can’t point to any neocon positions that Cruz has taken.

That is not why he skipped the debate! He skipped because he was bleeding from his . . . whatever. Hillary turned him on to solid gold panty liners the last time he was writing out checks to her and her kiddy rapist husband. As it turns out, they aren’t as absorbent for his mangina as they are for hers.

Look on the bright side - every time there's a major policy crisis, President Trump will hold a veteran's benefit./s

Cruz has always been government. For Pete’s sake, he worked in the Bush administration.

He has many ties to all thoe people and if he won you would get about the same as the Bush admin.

The term ‘neocon’ has been bandied about so much and ztu k to so many different people that it has become completely meaningless.

Being cogent and coherent when posting will help, but these incoherent and incontinent posts do nothing but convince the rest of us that Ted Cruz supporters do not have a firm grasp on reality.

Despite such public declarations, it's little wonder that a key member of the Cruz foreign policy team would support dragnet surveillance of Americans given that one of the principals of the Chertoff Group is General Michael Hayden, director of the NSA until 2005.

Congress passed the enabling legislation for that surveillance, iirc, after 2005, and with the acclamation of many on this site.

But that someone else was head of an agency that became a monster is Cruz's Fault, even though he wasn't in the Senate yet, and would not be for years to come?

Do I implicitly trust anyone who has made it far enough whatever food chain to run for President?

Well, in a word, no.

I do watch for direct statements of policy that will eliminate someone from my list of candidates considered, and I watch for direct actions of those candidates which indicate inconsistency and/or character flaws which might not be desirable.

I'm running out of candidates, but Cruz is still the best I have seen so far.

Not only that, my politically conservative Jewish relatives consider the term neocon synonymous with “dirty Jew.” They are either dirty for not stepping in line with the Democrat mantra (when being accused by Dems), or dirty for being too conservative (when being accused by Reps). Perhaps our Jewish FReepers could chime in. This is simply an anecdote from personal experience.

HE’s starting to look like George W. Bush in a different form.

Did you send Trump a donation, or did you just send it straight to Hils, Reid, and/or Schumer?
