ATHENS The fight over religious liberty legislation in Georgia is about to get much hotter. Ted Cruz is almost sure to make it so.
At 7 p.m. tonight, the Texas senator will address a dinner gathering of the Georgia GOP here.
His remarks will come roughly 15 hours before the convention takes up, as a platform resolution, an endorsement of SB 129, the religious liberty legislation sponsored by state Sen. Josh McKoon. A floor fight is anticipated.
What will Cruz say tonight about the issue? He just gave us a preview. Said the senator:
It is sad. It wasnt very long ago that there was bipartisan consensus when it came to religious liberty. Democrats, Republicans we might disagree on marginal tax rates. But when it came to protecting the First Amendment protections of everyone in America to seek out and worship God with all of our hearts, minds and souls, free of the government getting in the way we all came together....

“Dont be surprised if he endorses the resolution from the stage tonight.”
It is why we want to vote for this man and him only. It’s only surprising to liberals that think their’s is the dominate and only view. Even Reagan was not as great a conservative as Cruz. He is THE conservative candidate. No one, no one comes even close.

It is great when Senator Cruz names names. No waffeling or weasel words. He is calling the Democrats out on the place of religious liberty in America.

No one comes close, but I think Jebbie will win the TX primary out of loyalty to the dynasty.

Funny, isn't it? The Bushes aren't even from Texas. Actually, they're from New England, the anti-Texas.

I disagree, he is likely to have dropped out by the time Texas votes. If the way he is polling in Iowa and New Hampshire turns out to be true, he will drop out shortly thereafter.
He's really not a good candidate, and his GOPe hangers on are finding that out.

Prefect: (from the Latin praefectus, perfect passive participle of praeficere:
"make in front", i.e., put in charge) is a magisterial title of varying definition, but which, basically,
refers to the leader of an administrative area.
A "perfect" description of Ted :)
Source definition.

You must think Republican primary voters are informed.
