Three names are being thrown around as the top contenders in the Republican Party: Governor Chris Christie, Senator Rand Paul and Senator Ted Cruz.

With the 2016 presidential election in mind, many feel like the gloves have officially come off and the battle is ensuing to see who will represent the Republican Party in the race to lead our country.

Senator Cruz discussed how he feels the complete opposite regarding Christie's recent comments about how he said his goal is to win elections, not arguments.

“A big part of the reason why Republicans have been losing elections is because we haven't won the argument. Every time we follow the pattern of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, and to be clear, all three of those are good men, they're honorable men, they're war heroes, they are men of character, but all three of them followed that strategy of we're not gonna win the argument,” Cruz explained...

I don’t remember Romney being a war hero.

The Libs’ fantasy candidate would be one-legged lesbian albino from Zimbabwe. The RINOs just want someone with nice hair and white teeth.

LOL, Mitt Romney is a draft evader who left the country while his dad campaigned to lead the nation during the Vietnam war.

No man in Romney's line has ever served this nation in uniform, not in their entire 172 year history.

Folks, that is a lot of wars and a lot of drafts, and a lot of patriotic periods, and not a single one.

So how about Mitt's sons while he ran to be Commander in Chief during wartime?

For a bonus, Mitt Romney used a church deferment for part of his time, that was not available to black Mormons, who the church allowed to be drafted.

Not long enough to account for the record of his male line, for instance they left in 1912.

Bet we don’t support the GOP nominee in 2016 either.

Until Reagan rises no one but the DNC candidate will be acceptable.

Providing amnesty to the 5 million foreigners is different than making legal immigration less time consuming and an easier process. If the legal process is not followed, you have broken the law and are subject to another legal process: prosecution and deportation. For any re-occurrence, jail time and then, deportation. Those who do re-occur will find out that jail time will cause it to be more difficult to readjust to life back in your country of origin after so much jail time.

If it were me, I would cut to the chase and shoot on sight anyone trespassing on American soil without legal permission.

I won’t stay home if it’s not Cruz, but I won’t vote for Christie, Romney, another Bush, Rubio, or any other squishy big government liberal, even if he wears a jersey claiming to be Republican. I’ll just vote for the most conservative House and Senate I can to try to delay the destruction of our country.
