AFP President Tim Phillips introduced Cruz as one of our favorite United States Senators, praising him as someone who doesnt just take the fight to the left when its required, he stands up to his own party.
Cruz entered the stage as the crowd chanted, Run, Ted, Run! and continued chanting as he grinned, finally saying Wow! As is his habit, Cruz eschewed the podium to walk around the stage as he delivered his remarks.
The presumptive 2016 presidential candidate was optimistic about the GOPs chances in the 2014 elections, and told the grassroots activists in the audience they would be a crucial factor. Thank you for the courage of your convictions, said Cruz. Because of your leadership, because of your passion, America is waking up, [and] we are winning victory after victory after victory.
He also thanked AFP as being front and center leading [this] fight, and described the Summit as a call to action, declaring that 66 days from now, we're going to retake the United States Senate and retire Harry Reid! as the crowd rose to their feed.
Cruz identified four key issues for this years election: 1) preventing amnesty, 2) stopping Obamacare, 3) adopting smarter foreign policy, and 4) defending constitutional rights.
The Senator was harshly critical of the White Houses immigration policies. Obama has made a decision to make this election in 2014 a referendum on amnesty. Like many

But...but...but...Cruz’s wife works for Goldman Sachs..
That is a MAJOR Rap sheet for her AND him.
Better move on to find someone more perfect.
That's close enough. He can have my vote if he wants it.

Unfortunately, the Stupid Party is more likely to listen to Rove than Senator Cruz, which is why they deserve to lose.
Unfortunately, that means Dhimmicraps win.
He told Mark Levin’s audience, the day after election day, that he would get the country back.
He sees those who would :fundamentally transform the country” as a problem. And he is one of the couple of Republican who seem to be able to articulate that.
His credentials and recent resume are solidly pro constitution, Pro life, anti amnesty.
He is the only GOPer that would run to the right of Hillary, I’m serious.
Hillary’s resume reads like a RAP sheet.
Yet people on this forum point to this Goldman Sachs thing.
Are they serious? DO they want Palin to run? That’s not reasonable.
Do they want Hillary as POTUS? Do they think Obama followers will change and vote for a GOPe candidate?
Do they think Hillary won’t win against Jeb or Romney or Christie?
Well they don't call it the "Clinton Crime Family" for nothin'
47% will still vote for her.
People won’t get out of denial about that.
And denial...isn’t just a river in Africa.
Ted Cruz 2016...
Thanks for the ping. I sure hope Cruz is on the ballot in the 2016 presidential race.
Good stuff. I would vote for him before any other republican I can think of right now.
My other favorite Republican is Jeff Sessions but I don’t believe he would run.
Agree.
The entitlement army don’t care about their general’s character as long as he/she brings home the bacon.
And that's only with one small group of voters leaning left!! Folks in the middle and on the right know that voting Republican is a total crap shoot because half the time at least, you're voting for somebody who embraces about 90 percent of the opposition's approach to government.
The Republican party has become the party for stupid people willing to vote for the antithesis of what they want, and then getting angry when, the few times their candidates win, they proceed to enact opposition's policies.
I hope Cruz or someone of his mindset (I don't think Perry has it) gets the GOP presidential nomination in 2016 or runs "Independent" if not. If a RINO gets the official GOP nomination via gamed primaries, which as far as I'm concerned is about 99.99 percent likely, smarter and smarter Americans are going to give that candidate and the GOP the proverbial bird -- and rightly!
Romney, McCain, and RINOs prove that the GOP isn't the problem -- the problem is limiting the venue to the GOP for Cruz-like candidates.
And it’s not even a judgment. Welfare, food stamps, medical care, day care, the school system...The money will run out.
People seriously think money can be printed out, that it doesn’t need to represent wealth.
Mitt should have used his gaffe as an opportunity to teach people what they were getting into. But he is not a statesman. He is a liberal.
Every elected Republican (establishment)state official
of Texas opposed Ted Cruz +he was opposed by Gov.Huckleberry on Fox TV.
The PEOPLE of Texas ELECTED TED Cruz.
I pray to Jehovah God that TED Cruz is elected to two terms as President of the United States of America...
and then appointed to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court for a long and useful life. PERIOD
AMEN to that, Brother FReeper!!!
Cruz for President. Sessions for Senate Majority Leader.
Cruz for President. Sessions for Senate Majority Leader.
I like that.
Mine as well.
He would have my vote.
