Cruz is going head on with the Church of Leftism, the most unyielding, indoctrinated, dogmatic religion out there.

Facts:

1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.

2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.

3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.

4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?

5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.

Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.

don’t take shots at Cruz.

He’s a good man.

He is my first choice and Trump is definitely my second.

Until the point where his supporters insult Cruz so much I decide that, with followers like that, he’s not the kind of guy I want in the WH.

Candidate Cruz has isolated himself from effectiveness within the very institution he holds membership, the Senate. In essence, for the sake of a nail -which may or may not be- based upon purity, he has diminished his influence. Senator Cruz, by his chosen approach, is now relegated to the echo-chamber of his own inconsequential staff.

Seems to me people who identify with conservative ideology pretty mush agree that the Senate as currently constituted does not give a crap about constitutional conservatism.

So its funny to me to hear those who claim to speak for conservatism bemoan how Cruz has "alienated" himself from others in the chamber.

Perhaps they'd rather have Kasich or Christie, who say they will "work with congress" to "get things done". We all know what that means - old on to your wallet, much less liberties.

I don’t think you have to worry about Ted Cruz (that is Spanish for Cross). He obviously has put on the Full Armor of God! Now we have Donald J. Trump as Samson taking the jawbone of a ass to the Philistines, and plowing the ground, so to speak. The Trump/Cruz ticket is already over 50% is some polls, so it is looking good for an American Revival. :-)

good :)

Trump and Cruz supporters can’t afford to attack each other, as in many cases, they are the first and second choices of many.

I like Trump. Grew up with his name in NYC.

But liking Trump, even first, does NOT make Cruz a bad man. He’s a good, brilliant man.

They are just different :)

I’m losing my mind also. I had a dream that Trump was at my childhood home and me and my better half were there. I was very excited to see him but asked him not to attack Cruz personally lol. He said he wouldn’t.

I’m checking into Psych later today.

When faith is a part of your life it is a part of all of your life. Get over it.

It is very sad that the left has had it’s way and has made it to where Muslim kids get a special room in our public schools to pray while a Christian kid gets expelled for saying or doing anything relating to the Lord.

There are many voters who voted for Reagan who don’t go to church on a regular basis. Turn away those voters at your peril.

"If we awaken and energize the body of Christ - if Christians and people of faith come out and vote our values - we will win and we will turn the country around," Cruz told volunteers on a conference call Tuesday.

My problem with this statement is the same problem I have with football teams praying before a game that God will grant them a win.... and the other side is doing the same thing. What? God is being petitioned against God? How does that work? I think that there should always be prayer before a football game...it's a dangerous sport and may God give the grace to see through to the end of the game with no injuries on either side, especially longterm and devastating ones, may God see that each player plays in a sportsmanlike fashion, that referee calls are done in an honest impartial way etc etc etc. If a political candidate prays to God, that's great... but it should for the campaign team to conduct itself with integrity and honesty, for safety and security for the candidates and for God to use the candidates to be His good servants to ensure that His will is done for the nation.

Cruz has been my second choice for some time, Trump my first since the day he announced.

A Trump/Cruz ticket has been appealing to me also.

I don’t get the Cruz & Beck bromance, it seems contrived. I hope Ted knows what he’s doing.

“So its funny to me to hear those who claim to speak for conservatism bemoan how Cruz has “alienated” himself from others in the chamber. Perhaps they’d rather have Kasich or Christie, who say they will ‘work with congress” to “get things done’.”

Exactly. There are 5 to 8 senators who might be considered fairly solid conservatives. So, if you promised the voters not to betray them (as so many Republican candidates have done), what are you supposed to do? Of course Cruz hasn’t spearheaded a solid conservative agenda through the Senate. How could he when the Republican caucus elects a majority leader like McConnell?

Do you think Beck is mentally unstable?

Why do you say that??
