"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

CRUZ or LOSE!

CRUZ or LOSE!

This is an example of how Ted Cruz's intellect can identify the source of problems, which has to happen before they can be solved.

How long can the media keep up the myth of those bogus polls showing Ted Cruz as lagging in support?

It’s difficult to say that the SCOTUS was wrong. Back in 1982 the situation was different. Culminating in Amnesty — which wasn’t so hot a topic back then. Most agreed it was appropriate.

What Obama is doing is reach out and into the Latin American countries and giving them a tacit invite, he includes handouts because it will draw the poor and destitute, so he’s seeding the Democratic party for the future.

[BlackAdderess]

It’s been blowing up budgets, causing massive tax increases on the communities that can least afford it, and tanking American test scores. That is not to mention giving incentive to a problem that even the most progressive members of society admit is out of control.

[Tennessee Nana]

“There is a very strong argument that the 14th Amendment doesn’t require that,” Cruz said.

Eh ???

The 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to illegal aliens..

the 14th Amendment doesn’t require the government to do or give anything to illegal aliens...

[BlackAdderess]

I don’t think those polls are bogus, merely symptomatic of the monumental sliming this guy has withstood.

[MrTed]

This is also a great example of Ted Cruz’s refusal to pander; he knows, understands, and adheres to the principals of our Constitutional form of government. He is not afraid to recognize and acknowledge the different branches of the government, their roles, and the limits of their power.

Plus he’s got a great first name!

Go Ted!

Unfortunately for those who would want to say Ted Cruz is wacky for criticizing the court, he won all of his cases he brought to the U S Supreme Court. Nine of them.

[MSF BU]

He’d be far more useful as a USSC Justice then in the senate or presidency.

[WIBamian]

The article "estimated that it would cost states $761 million to provide K-12 education for the 37,000 Central American child migrants released to relatives in the United States during the first seven months of 2014"

The money saved if we didn't give it to illegal invaders could do alot for American citizens in seven months!

Use that money to target business owners that employ illegal invaders and also landlords that rent to illegal invaders. Use that money to pay down our national debt. Use that money to prosecute corrupt politicians. Use that money to fund better services for our disabled military veterans. Use that money to put the Chamber of Amnesty out ouf business!

[GodAndCountryFirst]

States need to become far more aggressive about nullifying both federal court decisions and federal laws. States have no obligation to follow the unconstitutional dictates from Washington. None.

[SoConPubbie]

He’d be far more useful as a USSC Justice then in the senate or presidency.

Couldn't be more wrong.

We don't need a CEO right now.

We need principled, conservative Leadership ON ALL ISSUES.

Ted Cruz bring a fidelity to conservative policy that no other potential POTUS candidate brings to the table, including Walker.

The rest of the potential candidates fall way back in the list where these important characteristics are concerned.

CRUZ or LOSE!

CRUZ or LOSE!

The 14th Amendment does, however, delegitimize any questioning of the government taking on debt in your name:

Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Thus, the political caste can, at will, sell you [and your progeny] into a de facto slavery as these debts are secured against your income, which is non-optional.

Outrageous abuse of power, one which the GOP of the day refused to attack. Bob

[alstewartfan]

Who agreed it was appropriate? It was a 5-4 decision that was flat-out lawless.

[KC_Lion]

Shazam!

You could write a whole essay about how this ties in with the School Lunch Program too.

You have got to get and keep people dependent on the Government.

It is how is grows and sustains itself.

"If you don't feed them, they won't come"

[Usagi_yo]

Oh Cruz is not wacky. He’s very smart. I agree with you.

Indeed, Ted Cruz has not dissapointed me yet.
