For the last two days, Sen. Ted Cruz has been the guest on "Life Today," telling host James Robison that it is vitally important for Christians to vote so that America can continue to enjoy God's blessings.

On yesterday's program, the Texas Republican declared that Christians are required by Scripture to vote and cast their votes based on biblical values. After praising his father's efforts to mobilize right-wing pastors and get them involved in politics, Cruz said that Christians could fundamentally reshape this nation is they simply voted according to the Bible.

"Can you imagine how different our country would be if an additional 70 million Evangelical Christians simply showed up and voted biblical values?" Cruz asked. "We would be on a fundamentally different path":

On today's program, Cruz wholeheartedly agreed with Robison's assertion that the Founding Fathers "were under some kind of powerful umbrella of divine providence influence" when they created this nation.

"From the founding of our country, America has enjoyed God's providential blessing at every stage," Cruz said. "When the Declaration and Constitution were drafted, they were drafted on the knees of the Founding Fathers through prayer."

"I'm convinced," he continued, that "God is not done with America. That his blessings are still on this nation, and that the American people when the challenges are great, rise to the occasion":

This is from a left-wing outfit, but it just makes him seem, all the more, the person we need.

Funny thing - when I went to vote, my precinct was packed with old white men, all of whom I know. There wasn't a Bible-thumper among them.

The American people have put their trust in the Republican Party," Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said...
He still doesn't get it.

Don’t get your post.

You seem to be saying you hate Christianity and Ted Cruz is a psycho.

[raybbr]

I agree with you JC.

to Ifinnega: Nice straw man. Actually, a pretty lame one on second thought.

[ifinnegan]

I don’t understand your POV either, then.

You think Cruz is a religious zealot?

I don’t understand what you are saying?

[ifinnegan]

Good observation about Prince Rebus.

If Ted does run, we need to keep religion OUT of it. Any overt religious stuff just energizes the media ... and not in a good way.

****
Good point.

I would not say keep all religious references out. I love what he said about the Founding Fathers being on their knees. But he would need to refrain from preaching to the general public lest the media attack him for evangelizing.

You’re the one that called Cruz a religious zealot. Neither I nor the other poster did.

I have never seen so many voters as last night when I voted. It was packed in spite of Oregon have mail-in ballots.

The voters’ religious beliefs are their own, and I respect them. My purpose here is to get America back to work.”

I tend to agree, although I would not vote for an atheist I also do not care about some one dictating to me how to believe in God.

I do not believe Cruz is that type at all but what he said to Robison will be funneled in that direction.

Actually Jenny Cool used the term in #3.
