I don’t think anybody on FR doubts his qualifications.
Cruz just has to prove he can get the votes. He’s in the top 3 in money so that shouldn’t be a handicap.
I looked up the first person listed. The first thing I found was her call to fight Mitch McConnell and force him to pass the bill defunding Planned Parenthood and demanding he fight the Iran deal.
You are the people we believed in, trusted, and elected to office. That means we trusted you with our lives and the lives of our children and it is time many of you understand your job is not about self glorification or bait and switch at the Capitol. Decisions of life and death are made under that Dome. This is not about partisanship, it is about the very survival of our nation and it is in your hands. Republican leaders have lost the faith of not only our base, but of the American people. You have an opportunity to rebuild it and restore it. This is your Hail Mary moment. Don’t drop the ball or it will not be passed to you again.
So she's out there founding a statewide Tea Party organization and working to get important legislation passed. And you, you're on the internet denouncing her with absolutely no information.
And not only that, but her role has nothing to do with setting policy, so you're a bit of dingbat.
I know. Perfectly stable people back guys that sell their country out for cash every day. It’s people that notice that are batcrap crazy.
How did I never see it before?
Maybe because anyone that trusts anything someone that would work for such a person says deserves what they get when they get sold out themselves.
I meant no disrespect for Walker’s experience and accomplishments in Wisconsin. I was just pointing out that he seemed to be unsure of himself on a national stage and that Cruz doesn’t for a reason. Pleading multiple cases before the US Supreme Court, serving as a White House counsel, and making waves instead of friends from a Senate seat are experience Walker just doesn’t possess but might have served him well running for president.
Is it smart to hire the unemployed leaders of a losing team?
Read Ted Cruz's A Time for Truth and you will know that he is more than qualified, with a lot of political experience.
Here's his resume from the website Young Conservatives:
I don't dispute the political experience...it's obvious he's been involved in politics. I don't dispute his intelligence, it is obvious that he is a highly educated lawyer.
But what has he done!? What has he accomplished? What economic problems has he dealt with?
Has he had to make a payroll where the money was coming out of his pocket and not the taxpayers?
Has he faced decisions that either mean the loss of a job(s) for him or a staff?
Has he expanded a business that has led to more growth in a community?
Our government is full of career politicians that have the gift of gab, but no accomplishments. How does he know what the 93 million people that are out of a job feel at this point while he advocates for an increase in highly skilled immigrant Visas?
Does he know what it is like to own a business or try to expand a business and be crushed by government regulations and taxes?
ROFL ROFL
I voted for Reagan twice, even though he signed the 1983 payroll tax hike, and I still like him despite that.
I guess that would depend on if any of them were actual vote counters. They are who will win this thing.
Well then please explain what part of my posts is actually incorrect. Not what you think is too focused. What part is flar out wrong? Because none of it is. Not a single word.
We have seen the result of GOPe infiltration into campaigns. We have seen the Tea Party torpedoed from within and turned into GOPe campaign arms. Does anyone really think people that fought a candidate for pay or as a volunteer are suddenly trustworthy in the camp of the man they fought?
Seriously. No name calling. No BS. Who welcomes the enemy, and your political opposition IS the enemy, into their camp?
What is this? Project Paperclip for politicians? Are we seriously to believe that this is a great idea? That no one could be found?
Are we to believe that hiring people from losing campaigns every election, from campaigns and pols who we oppose, does not perpetuate the problems we have today?
Really?
No, this one ‘thing’ isolated isn’t the end of the world. But it becomes more of the same old if he does it again and again. And then we are right back to the Palin issue with her own ‘people’ out to tank her. And they did. And Obama won. And here we are.
Thats factual history.
They are get out the vote people, they make sure the state regs are all in order, they organize state of Georgia republican events, they hand out American flags to wave at rallys.
They previously backed a guy who supported one issue you disagreed with and you want them banished forever in some weird death spiral over your single issue.
They are going to work for a Republican going forward. I'm glad they're working to get Cruz votes now, rather than Lindsey Graham or Chris Christie votes. Cruz is strengthened by their joining the team, certainly not weakened by it.
No I don’t seem to think it. The past 30 years of American elections have conclusively proven it. Every 2 years. And every 2 years someone always makes excuses as to why the evidence of their eyes is really not what it is.
Are we to suppose that a candidate taking on the positions of his staff was not influenced by them and what they with their ‘ears to the ground/pulse of the electorate” tell them? That it’s simply figments of imagination with 30 years of coincidence?
These people have no influence on policy. You’re assuming a causality that isn’t there. Rooney was a liberal because he was a liberal, not because some gotv character in Georgia changed him into one.
Of course political staff have no influence but random people known as potential voters do.
Of course.
Oh this is just circular. State functionaries from Georgia do not have any influence on a national candidate, that’s what the national people are for. You’re free to believe otherwise. She’ll ruin Cruz, no doubt.
It’s funny! When I read the qualifications that ripnbang wanted in his president, I thought of RFP that was made up to match the company you had already decided to hire. But you wanted to appear that you were fair, you pretended that you were really looking for a few companies out there to be in a pool for consideration.
So quit reasoning in circles.
Then again Cruz does need to be careful, as he is public enemy number one to the GOPe. Hopefully he and his staff are aware.
It all comes down to where they get them from. Yea it’s common but we shouldn’t be shocked by patterns repeating either.
I really don’t see why one would risk GOPE inroads by hiring supposedly low level staff. Why not simply hire competent people you can trust and avoid the issue altogether if they are indeed low level types?
If Walker had them, Karl Rove approved of them.
