Landrigan: Leading NH conservatives flock to Ted Cruz campaign

CONCORD - Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign gets a big boost from three of the state’s most conservative Republican leaders.

"But for most, we can only guess, and for others the guessing is over and we are disappointed. With Senator Cruz, we do not need to guess and he will not disappoint.’’

That was former House Speaker Bill O’Brien who backed Newt Gingrich in 2012.

The Texas senator’s leadership team reads like a Who’s Who of the most prominent, hard-right conservatives.

"So it comes down to this,’’ O’Brien concludes. ``Others talk the talk and we either don’t know if they walk the walk or they have already walked away from us.’’

Former Senator Bob Smith says that like Cruz he too got his start as a lone-wolf maverick.

"There is also a personal story for me supporting Ted Cruz because he reminds me of me when I started out,’’ Smith said.

Executive Councilor Dave Wheeler says Cruz hasn’t gotten Potomac fever.

"So many go to Washington representing their constituents and before you know it, they suffer from a disease known as peer group shift,’’ Wheeler said.

State Democratic leaders mocked the support for Cruz.

“It’s no surprise that Bill O’Brien, Bob Smith, and David Wheeler have officially supported Ted Cruz, who voted to shut down the government costing the economy $24 billion,’’ said Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley.

"Their out-of-touch views prioritize obstruction rather than building up middle class families and are bad for New Hampshire.”

This is the first primary, winning the hearts, minds and rolodexes of seasoned activists. Cruz hasn’t won but this is an impressive start.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

He is a true intellectual. He is capable of being a critical thinker-—and that scares the Left to high heaven.

They have been attacking virtue and Natural Law/Reason (indoctrinating pride in perversions/dysfuncitons through TV and “schooling”) for a half of century-—trying to make everyone so devoid of Traditions and History (Wisdom)-—that they believe all the rhetoric and lies that the Left continually dishes out.

AND the masses are TRAINED to “feel” uncomfortable-—and are targeted and alienated— if they DARE “think” outside the box-——always if they disagree with the Marxists ethics of slavery and vice and collective culture.

Individuality (critical thinkers) and Right Reason and Natural Law (our Constitution) is incompatible with Stalin’s constitution and those people, like our Founders, are dangerous to the Power structure.

BUT WAIT !

We were told Ted Cruz was toast, finished, he lost most of his supporters ?

That’s it, he’s done it now, I won’t support Ted Cruz or vote for him because he picked up a big endorsement from NH’s top Conservatives, a dose of sarcasm of course.

Hey ? Where are the naysayers ?
Where are the protogianists of all things wrong with Ted Cruz and he a loser, he’s toast, he’s finished ?

If God has a ordained destiny for Ted Cruz then nothing in this world can stop God’s will or plan.

Hey fellow Christians ? Mike Huckabee ain’t it, he might get a administrative or cabinet job in a Cruz administration but he ain’t going to be president.

We guess the anti-Cruz protaganists have to go back to mother ship home base to get new marching orders since their last propaganda didn’t work “ Ted Cruz is toast “ “ Ted Cruz lost most of his support “.

Wonder what they are going to come up next and lie about this time ?

May the God of Israel keep and watch over Ted Cruz, bless him mightily, abundantly, and let him find favor where ever he goes, Lord God of Israel rebuke those who want to lie about Ted Cruz and want to bring him and his supporters down in Jesus Christ mighty name,

AMEN, AND AMEN !
