The worship Ted, even when he is wrong, is apalling and does not reflect well. We have a herd mentality here at times.
Forget the slurs and aspersions.
You can despise Ted Cruz as much as you wish. It is, as they used to say more accurately, a free country.
But it would be great to know whom you see as an alternative.
Who is your candidate? How is that man (or woman) proposing to deal with Obamacare, amnesty, trillion dollar omnibus bills, etc., etc....who is it and what are his/her ideas?
Really?
You are so against this good Christian man and the conservative Christian base that you want to claim we worship him rather, than support him as the Reagan in the Senate?
How in the world did our best conservative hope become your most hated republican, who are your leading republicans for 2016?
Usually, the herd mentality involves trashing our best hopes to help insure we have nobody to rally around come election time. Quite often, this occurs due to a rumor or a jumped-to conclusion from a printed story.
Cruz hasn't let us down yet - he appears to be the real deal and is hell-bent on forcing change towards a more Constitutional/Conservative leadership. He still has to work within political realities and fight "his side" of the aisle at the same time. Mounting a campaign will require an infusion of funds before folks like me start to get behind him. Due to the fact that his own side will also trash him and try to prevent his viability, he will need funds from every source available. I have no reason to distrust his integrity, especially for the big picture. There have been a couple articles designed to tarnish him in the Conservative mind and several here have dutifully taken the bait and started to bemoan his flaws.
Unless one has a likelier and more Conservative option ready to step up to the plate, it is not the wisest gambit to start pissing in the bowl of oatmeal that he represents.
