If there is such a thing as being too conservative to be elected president of the United States, Ted Cruz is having none of it.
Announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination Monday at Liberty University, the first-term senator from Texas offered himself as the pure essence of conservatism and challenged the tea party and evangelical wings of the Republican Party to rise up behind one of their own and take control of the party and the country.
His candidacy is a test of a proposition, one that he has carried across the country for many months. He has argued that the party failed to win the White House not because it has become too conservative but because Republicans have nominated politicians who were not conservative enough, who could not carry the message of today’s conservatism with energy, optimism and authenticity.

Reagan was also too old, and too dumb.
Testing limits is WAAAY overdue.
Good for Cruz.
THANK YOU, onyx! My sentiments EXACTLY.
SPOT ON!
Since it’s OFFICIAL, I now have a horse in this race!
in my view, Huckabee is not running
He is advertising his line of diabetic medicine and treatment. Were he serious about the Presidency, he would not have started a new business and hawking it on the radio
LOL I just don’t think of “those” folks driving Hondas.. ;-)
Gee, did WAPO ever title....
“Obama ests the limits of liberalism in his run for president”.
Gee, did WAPO ever title....
“Obama tests the limits of liberalism in his run for president”.
snowbigdeal!
I just realized Ted Cruz and I have the same initials. :)
Oh, we are nowhere NEAR the “limits” of conservatism. The limits are on GOVERNMENT, not on the will of the people here.
All governmental entities, without an active and continuing check upon their exercise of power, eventually become tyrannical in nature. That is why this nation was conceived as a constitutional representative republic, with power divided between executive, legislative and judicial branches, each expected to act as a check on the excesses of the other two.
The will of the people has been thwarted several times already, by the failure of one or another of the three branches of government to take their responsibilities of acting as a check on the other two seriously. The fall of the House of Bourbon under Louis XVI of France should be instructive as to what happens to an unresponsive and remote government entity when too much power is gathered and handed to incompetent authority.
And boy, do we ever have a lot of power gathered in the hands of the incompetents.
TED CRUZ 2016
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. VOLUNTEER:
That’s a good idea. He’s an excellent speaker.
No notes, no damn telepromter.
No, um’s, and a’s, you know’s, in the end, at the end of the day, none of the stupid colloquialisms.
Huge error to overlook Ted Cruz!
I'm not interested in anyone else.
Weird then, that he gave up his TV show, or maybe Fox News was not going to renew it?
Hawkabee is always selling something.
Cruz is the antithesis of Obama.
