I reported your tag line

That's fine. Those are the names either the press or people like John McCain has called me. It's a badge of honor.

Ted Cruz has done more to protect the Second Amendment than anyone in Washington.

And the others, who claim to be pro-Second Amendment, hate him for it.

[TBP]

So one minute he’s an ideologue and the next he’s an inconsistent phony conservative? Sure, whatever.

stiffing contractors the final 20% he owed them on construction contracts. He also hired Polish workers at below $5.00 an hour to do high rise construction

This literally sounds like the same practices of the largest home builder here in Idaho who also used bankruptcy laws to save his business.

He must be following the Trump playbook. No wonder why he's so successful.

[mylife]

Sounds just like Debartlow

Trump is for Trump.

Who are YOU for?

Way before Ted became Solicitor General of Texas. Way before he worked on the Bush campaign and met his lovely wife. Way before he went to Princeton graduating cum laude and Harvard graduating magna cum laude. Way before graduating as valedictorian from high school.

He participated in a free market education foundation where he learned from the economic greats like Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Fredericic Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises. He went out and spoke to groups about the free market from the age of 13.

Ted learned to be Ted Cruz his whole life.

Not too shabby.

I heard he ate maple syrup once /s

[Ditto]

Did you not read the article? The landmark case he won before the Supreme Court protected our right to keep and bear arms, against a challenge that individual citizens did not have that right. The decision was 5/4, that close.

Do you expect the Knee-Jerk read meat eating, my way or highway, non-thinkers to actually read something?

Cruz, IMHO, is the first real conservative we have had the opportunity to vote for since 1984.

[conservativejoy]

I couldn’t agree more. Cruz is the answer to prayer.

[Slyfox]

And was quite tasty!

[mylife]

Funniest thing I have seen in ages was a Freeper, posted Jeb bush always looks like he just detected a fart, and Ted always looks like he just dealt it! LOL

[mylife]

Hillary is to drunk to care LOL

[sitetest]

In 2008, what was trump doing for the 2nd Amendment? Or doing to it!?

[mylife]

If and when Ted wins the presidency I know I can count on him to clear the rats nest out from top top bottom.

The Don?

Not so much.

[sitetest]

Many made money, but many of them lost their investments in trump’s various corporate bankruptcies and other failed ventures, and sometimes, even in his successful ones.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Who are YOU for?

Trump.

Why should I put my trust in ANYONE from the Senate or Congress?

[mylife]

I trust the fighter that fights alone, with my back, for the cause.

I voted 3 times to get this guy here.

[Starstruck]

It's interesting to look at the number of bills that Ted has written that have gone no where.

A conservative writing bills in a GOPe Congress. Where do you expect them to go? Oh I see. Trump would write them so the GOPe would give them their blessing. In fact his bills would be so good Obama would sign them. A+++.

[mylife]

BTW since when did Trump become part of the teabag movement?

Ted is the RESULT of the teabag movement, and he aint let me down.

I ADMIT WE A HAVE A PROBLEM OF SALEABILITY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, BUT Trump has demonstrated that people are PISSED

We all hate the last 7 years, even those that voted for it.

Oh Ted is the steadfast dark horse here
