Then yesterday on Fox, The Five in the afternoon dumped all over Ted Cruz for one thing or another. That's somewhat understandable for reasons I can't explain. You have to figure that out yourself.

IOW Rush won't point out that Fox doesn't want Cruz because Rupert Murdoch wants amnesty for illegals.

This argument that we're gonna disqualify Ted Cruz because we've learned how bad an inexperienced president can be.

George Washington hadn't ever been elected to anything. To my knowledge, neither had Eisenhower.

Republican is a synonym for “eating your own”

God can and will use anything from a donkey to a gourd to people like you, me, or a guy named Cruz. What we need in this country is a major shift from trusting in man back to trusting in God.

As far as your other comment, I don't want to get off on this really, but just wanted to share something with you about that.

But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him (1 Corinthians 2:9). Many stop there because that is the same verse as Isaiah 64:4 in the old testament.

But the cross of Christ has put us under under the new covenant which has changed that and so many things. We are now privy to God's plans and purposes. The verse continues,

But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10).

Well, maybe your guess at one more sweep was a hint to you from the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, similar guesses have been going on from the early days of the church. The Holy Spirit doesn’t play waffle games.

I think this is talking about the character of eternal salvation not about earthly details of passing history.

I think this GOP endorsement will come down to the candidate who cannot only talk conservatives, but can demonstrate that he is a leader and will govern conservatively.

I also believe in the Reagan doctrine. Any candidate who finds it necessary to bad mouth the other candidates, is not a worthy candidate, IMHO. So, the cream will rise to the top.

It wouldn’t be America if it wasn’t living with God.

not true...Obama has a very thin skin - he’s just protected by a very thick media, and helped by spineless opposition.

Interesting controversy. Maybe Obama didn't bother about criticism during his campaign because he didn't notice it -- he was too focused on getting elected.

Now, when he has all this free time on his hands, it gets to him.

____________

The question about Cruz is whether he's the inevitable and best conservative candidate or whether he's an interloper who's getting in the way of a better candidate. That has something to do with electability. Also with whether you've been thinking about Ted Cruz for months or years, or whether you've been looking at other candidates and Ted just happens to show up and complicate things. And also about which word you emphasize in "best conservative candidate," since the most conservative candidate and best candidate may not be the same person. In any event, Ted Cruz's candidacy is something conservatives are going to disagree about.

Well, a lot of America lives that way now. Caesar is their Lord.

Whatever else you can say about Ted. Ted is sincere.

I don’t think so. I don’t think true conservatives are the Cruz birthers. And I don’t think there’s many of them, but they are noisy.

You bring up very good points regarding Cruz being the “best” or most “conservative” candidate.

Objectively, all true.

Time will tell.

IMHO, the Cruz campaign is as grass roots as it gets. He will need to build a massive ground force that can reach people one on one.

Cruz needs to talk to people as individuals, not groups.

He needs to explain how dems want to place them into groups and they are not a group, they are individuals.

I believe that message will be received and his electability will shock people.

Some Americans may live Godless lives. They always have. Thomas Paine was an atheist. Many founders were deists. But America would not be America without a deep commitment to Godly virtues and faith. It would just be a bit of ground between the Atlantic and Pacific with a bunch of hedonists in it. Which is what we are, almost. Another generation of de-Christianization and we may be at that point. And whatever is here, it won’t be America. Americans can move to the Outback, to Alaska, or an Island in the Pacific and that will be more America than the piece of ground where followers of Alinsky and Marx live.

Well I hope so. I hope a good guy gets in there but honestly, America’s salvation and restoration won’t be coming from some “savior-politician.”

No, but God desires a righteous, brave man to lead our Country and Ted Cruz is that man!
