I like Cruz. That said, the election is a long way off.

Way to early to start this crap. Just because everyone doesn’t agree at the moment does not make them trolls or operatives.

Honestly, this ain’t a Ted Cruz site either.

I hope he is a major candidate, but we all have a lot to learn.

What are we going to do about it?

Why not debate them and point out any inconsistencies or BS?

What do you suggest, ban everyone who might disagree with you or who you suspect does not support your candidate? If that's the case, that's bull s**t.

If you can bring facts/links to the exchange do it. Most capable of critical thought can see who the individual is who attempts to evade and deceive.

This is not complex.

True. I suspect they are the ones doing the big send up on on Rubio, because they have already published oppo research and plans to take him down.

Primary season on Free Republic is not for pups. If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

In other news, water is wet and Texas summers are hot.

I agree with you, InterceptPoint. Our problems are in many levels of the society, stemming from the government violating our Constitutional rights.

A lot of people don't know and don't care how hard it is to start a business nowadays with high taxes and regulations. And businesses provide jobs.

I mainly agree.
I personally do not want Obama negotiating anything.
I am not willing to throw Ted Cruz under the bus for it.

It’s really going to get interesting when the RNC gets Jebster nominated. They are experts at nominating the exact wrong candidate.

Exactly, with the exception of retreads we're operating on first impressions right now.

I’ve called a bunch of them out. We also now have the Rino free traders spamming threads.

Free Republic is Jim Robinson’s site. He chooses to run on donations. He has not thrown in the towel on freedom. Nobody who disapproves of the way this site is run is ever forced to stay here.

Thank you. I come here to FR several times each day. I read the articles and I sometimes make inane comments. I don’t post. I don’t even know how to post. That does not make me any more or less conservative. The one thing I don’t like about FR is being roasted for not posting.
I will leave you now to attend our flag ceremony at our local American Legion. Happy Flag Day to all FReepers.

You probably could have paid A+Bert with beer, but he wasn’t really a troll, just cranky.

Why not post a list of names for all to see instead of a few links.

I'll let Mr. Robinson and his team deal with them. His team has more information from the backend. As some mentioned, we don't want to disturb long-standing FReepers. I've just reported what I observed

"Speaking for myself, and possibly others, conservatives expect the most constitutionally minded candidate’s actions to be congruent, and not be in conflict with stated principles. He ought to be the one yelling that TPA / TPP needs more open examination and discussion as to the impact to US job losses and trade disparities affecting our economy, consumer safety, and national interests. I want someone in office our citizens, allies, and I can completely trust."

Well put and deserves repeating.

TPA, TPP, H1B1, Freedom Act. Cruz is taking himself down.

Lots of candidates on the GOP side so lots of opinions and favorites. As expected this early in the game. Most candidates have some or much to like about them, all have something to dislike. Lots of speeches and debates ahead. Hopefully the cream rises to the top (unlike 2008, 2012).

What are we going to do? Nothing. Let the process play out.
