Dear Readers,
I had the opportunity to listen to Ted Cruz yesterday. As a Christian voter and lifelong Upstate New Yorker I value the things he had to say. He was a breath of fresh air to our area! A welcome contrast to the typical pompous, political windbags like, Gov. Cuomo, Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, Paul Tonko- and the Times Union Newspaper- (which absolutely stumps for all of them on a regular basis).
I love New York… I was born and raised here. All my relatives are from here, and post active-duty military service, my husband and I returned to raise our children here. While he was serving, we lived all over the country. Of all the places we lived, it was hard to compare to the beauty of the Catskills and Adirondacks. We have so many stunning rivers, lakes, and countless choices of hiking, swimming and skiing…
Yet, so many wonderful, hardworking New York natives have fled our state. Why? Because of corrupt, bullying dictator politics, over regulation, oppressive taxes, and zero job growth! So it was refreshing to have a level headed candidate, who actually respects the Constitution, come and address voters in our area. People in upstate are hurting economically and the power hungry Albany machine has done nothing to help.
Ted Cruz is morally grounded and reveres God. One of the things that is of utmost importance to the Christian voter is that he values protecting innocent life. Again, unlike New York blowhards-(Gov. Cuomo, Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, and Paul Tonko) Ted Cruz is opposed to abortion. He actually takes to heart and respects that God is the creator of life…all life!
While our own ‘Dictator in Chief’ (Andrew Cuomo) wastes his time, and our money, making ridiculous travel bans to Mississippi and North Carolina, and has repeatedly told fellow conservative New Yorkers we aren’t welcome here…. Ted Cruz focuses on smaller Government, tax alleviation, and job creation- something conservatives have been longing to hear from a serious candidate. Conservatives understand that in order to see any economy thrive we need to stop over-regulation and decrease the taxes.
After 8 years of Obama and his calamitous regime, we need new, fresh leadership. Hillary Clinton doesn’t honor life. She is pro third trimester abortion up until the time of birth. She also abandoned our servicemen in Benghazi. Bernie Sanders supports third trimester abortion as well, and wants to increase our taxes even more…
How a person values other people’s lives absolutely determines how they will govern in office. Why? Because how they regard the worth of another human life, determines where their moral compass is and how they will carry out everything they do in political office…If a leader doesn’t value life, they will also disregard and be callous to other matters of governing and legislating that require principle and virtue.
We need a President of the United States that truly honors and reveres life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe Ted Cruz may be that person.
Yep. It’s amazing. I wonder if there are more Trump supporters here or just that they are more vociferous.
the Upstaters are 'bitter clingers' ?.. because we want a government that recognizes the Constitution ?
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried !
If you go thirty miles out of NYC, you will find nothing but a Conservative majority .
It would be as absurd if I said all of Texas was like San Antonio,..the flaming lib a-holes !
..and I know that isn't true !
I have more respect for you and your opinion , than you do of me and my opinion in Upstate .
Upstate, we are still fighting for our 2nd Amendment rights, in opposition to the Lib Governor and flaming Court of Appeals-that he is now trying to stack against us.
Don't bash what you don't know !
If I believed he did, I believe I would.
Must be all the Canadian air
Well said: Go Ted Cruz as well. I believe he can make it close if not win NY State.
More Cruz propaganda. She’s real enough but she’s a promotional item that will be rarely seen in the larger picture.
The only place she could have a hair more impact would be in Cali, and that’s not saying much.
If Trump released the tens of thousands of letters from his supporters like her, the journals, newspapers, blogs and radio slots would be working on them past the Convention.
It was his loon father that said he “was chosen by God for the White House”.
“Christians are loving people, are nonjudgmental people, but there is right and wrong,”
And some assume their version of christianity gives them the high moral ground to pass judgment on what is right and wrong. For example “NY Values” being something to shun.
Nice.
Read this. It might wake you up to the California situation.
California GOP poll: Trump leads Cruz by 7 points

If Cruz is elected, he will fall right in line with McConnell and Ryan and the rest of the GOPe. So if you’re a Cruz supporter, you might as well go ahead and buy a jar of Vaseline because you’re know where you’re gonna get it.

Go Cruz! Go 2nd Div!
Let freedom of speech continue to reign as a priority on freerepublic.com
Too bad Cruz isn’t running for preacher in chief. he might have had a chance.
Are we now going to find "letters to the editor" and posting them all for our candidates?
Heidi
Google search
But there are hundreds of quotes all over the net.
Take your picks
Right on, Cruz is in the punch bowl making us all proud again to be Americans. Good to have a breath of fresh air, I’m with Souled Out on this one. Cruz all the way to the WH.
Interesting you call his father a "loon." Is that the same label you give your fellow trump acolytes who make the claim about your candidate? Reconcile that one.
“Interesting you call his father a “loon.”
You find that interesting do you. Do other undeniable realities also “interest” you.
