Why Cruz over Rand Paul, Scott Walker or some other conservative?>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Because Cruz is courageous and true , and very much like Winston Churchill.He once stood all alone.Establishmentarian GOP ridiculed him. They are not ridiculing him now. None of the others have any of that.And the country needs a steadfast man who loves his country deeply, far blacker days are to come.None of the others will be able to hack it.

Ted Cruz Was Right, Again

The usual suspects are attacking Ted Cruz for doing his job.

Republicans and a chorus of conservative commentators are dumping on the sole conservative Republican senator from Texas because–the horror!–he dared to force his Senate colleagues to publicly take sides on President Obama’s shameful extralegal unilateral immigration amnesty.

Apologists for Republican cowardice claim to be upset with Cruz because, as they claim, his parliamentary maneuvers to stymie the amnesty somehow allowed some objectionable Obama nominees to move forward in the confirmation process.

Of course, they’re lying. All Obama nominees are objectionable–remember, our president is a red diaper baby–yet the Senate eventually caves to Obama on more or less all of them............Who really cares if a few bureaucrats who will be approved anyway by the incoming Republican Senate in the new year get to work a few weeks or months early?

What really infuriates namby-pamby Republican senators is that Cruz forced them to take a public stand on the president’s unilateral amnesty. They know that the Republican Party base is mad as hell over the amnesty, and they don’t feel the need to answer to mere hoi polloi. Bought off by the crony capitalist lobby, they support amnesty but don’t want to face the electoral consequences for their betrayal of the American people. Just as Democrats don’t want to get rid of poverty, Republicans in leadership don’t want to stop the amnesty(or get rid of Obamacare, for that matter). They need villains against which to rail.

Just about nobody in the conservative punditry seems to be getting the story right. They are regurgitating an easily digested talking point generated by Democrats and the Senate’s RINO establishment. If it hadn’t been for Cruz,a slew of Obama nominees would still be sucking their thumbs in a state of constitutional limbo,they’d have us believe.

And as usual,they’re wrong about Cruz....

If there is one single man who can be credited with the destruction of the British Empire, it may very well be Winston Churchill. Yes, his leadership during WWII was magnificent. However, everything he did leading up to the war was a complete and total disaster for his country. I’m not sure we should want a Winston Churchill for America.

As for Ted Cruz his problem is experience. He’s only been in the Senate since 2013. By the time 2016 rolls around he’ll have just as much experience as Obama did. I think the nation is going to be unwilling to accept a nominee with so little experience in the future. You can thank Obama for that.
