A seismic shift? Things will change now that Sen. Ted Cruz has entered the White House race, some say.
“Every Republican candidate for president will have to move significantly to the right, starting with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. They’ll have to define their position on amnesty for illegal aliens, on fighting and winning the war radical Islam has declared on America, on spending, the deficit and the debt, and on repealing Obamacare - against the positions Ted Cruz will talk about and campaign on in the coming months,” predicts longtime conservative maven Richard Viguerie.
“They will all have to move right to respond to Cruz, or be left behind by a grassroots conservative electorate fed-up with Republican candidates who are merely principle-free messengers for an out of touch Washington elite,” he continues. “Cruz is the first top-tier movement conservative candidate since Reagan for three reasons that separate him immediately from the rest of the Republican pack.”(continued)

The tables just got turned inside out and sideways.
I’ve been skeptical about Ted’s chances, though I sure love everything he has to say. Now I’m starting to see a glimmer of hope he could actually pull it off.
It will be interesting to see movement in the polls after today
“Every Republican candidate for president will have to move significantly to the right, starting with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker.
When the RINOs start masking conservative..
The laughter will be quite rich and throaty..
I distrust most pollsters, though, don’t you?
I think Ted is even going to force some Freepers to move right. He threw down the gauntlet to every spineless, unprincipled, ‘anti-purist’ in our camp.
Bold colors are finally in fashion again!
'Bout damn time. I've completely had my fill of RINOs and weak country club Republicans, who think that expressing (and standing by) our core American principles, is akin to swearing in church.
I've had it with "severely conservative" Repukes and with those who castigate us for not supporting those miserable DIABLOs (Democrat In All But Label Only).
If there were ever a time for the "bold colors" Reagan spoke of, this is it!
The “moderate” conservatives will need to run right. Cruz is already right. Given the choice, I know who I’ll go with.
[I think Ted is even going to force some Freepers to move right.]
I don’t think I can move anymore to the right ;)
I’m so right wing I’ve fallen off the damn bird..
bumped my head and mad as hell..
Interesting idea. It would be a first.
“I’m so right wing I’ve fallen off the damn bird..

Copy that. Figuratively too. Seems to be my overall state of mind these days. Mad as Hell could be the name of a third party as far as I’m concerned.
That’s cool. Good job, whoever put that together.
That’s pretty good. A few tweaks. .. who is DOJ and get rid of the Dept. Of Education.
Who would you pick for DOJ?
I’d have to think about it for other names but Roy Moore comes to mind. How about you?
