If Obama can win, anybody can win.

I think too many people are lumping in his chances at nomination and his chances of being elected President.

His chance of getting elected once nominated even against Hillary are quite good. Getting the nomination is Cruz’s #1 problem now.

“In the view of more moderate conservatives, that makes him unwilling to listen to common sense. “

There is a name for a moderate conservative. It’s called a liberal. This is the problem with “Conserative commentators.” They believe you can run from right of the middle and wing. You cannot. Ask McCain, Dole and Romney.

A huge grass roots funding will help take a few degrees off the slope - as it levels out, it might actually tip in the other direction. He announced early and we can give him a solid boost early.

Every single one of us have the opportunity every day to engage someone and let them know who Ted Cruz is. Enthusiasm has a way of being contagious. Every time someone laments the condition of our country, tell them why this man gives us real hope. Grassroots has been the key to every historical movement. Find out what their major concern is and tell them what Ted’s position is. We are far more potent than a media that no one trusts.

I predict a 46-48 state shellacking, if he is the won.

If a punk like Ibama can become President anyone can.

True, but they’ll need Axlegrease and Plouffy doing the dirty work. I’m convinced those guys could elect Charles Manson as POTUS.

I have watched Mr. Cruz and his views. I do not see anything that looks ‘extreme’ to me. They look more like ‘common sense’ views/issues.

I heard an interesting statement, I think from Mark Davis.
Obama proved that a one term senator can win the Presidency, which means Cruz could do it too.

Somet5hing akin to lefty's TALKING POINTS, you mean.....but truthful and factual ?

Several different Freepers post such things on threads, but perhaps such a thread, just for reference would help you and many others. I don't wish to steal those Freepers' thunder, so the next time I see such a post, I'll ask that Freepr/s to start such a page.

If you go to other sites, where everyone can post, the lefties all say the same things; oh a word may be changed, here and there, but it’s the same damned cant over and over again...no matter what the poster’s nic is, or the subject.
OFA does send out talking point sheets and for all I know, so does the DNC, etc.! How they get them, I don’t know, but they all have them, or copy what other lefty posters post.
