Iowa Evangelical Leader: Ted Cruz Is 'A Liberal's Worst Nightmare'
CBN News ^ | Friday, August 09, 2013 10:46 AM | David Brody

Posted on 08/24/2013 8:26:04 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

In an interview you will only see on The Brody File, influential Iowa evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats, head of The Family Leader organization says that Sen. Ted Cruz, “is a liberal’s worst nightmare.”

He goes on to say that Cruz has unlimited potential to energize the GOP base.

“I haven’t seen anything like it for a long time, probably ever,” Vander Plaats tells The Brody File.

Cruz, along with Rick Santorum and Donald Trump will headline the big Family Leader event on Saturday in Iowa.

Vander Plaats, who is well liked and respected by Iowa’s evangelical community, played a huge role in helping determine Iowa’s Republican Caucus winner in 2008 and 2012. He endorsed Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012.

Watch the video below with a partial transcription from the interview.

Bob Vander Plaats: I haven’t seen anything like it for a long time, probably ever.... He combines a lot of qualities of a lot of people into one package.... I believe he is a liberal’s worst nightmare.

LMAO. You can take it to the bank that Cruz will be one of the first endorsements Rand Paul will get when he announces:

Senator Cruz doesn't seem like a man who sets his mind to something or states a position and then backs off.

I'll bet you even money that because of Rand Paul's Amnesty position, he won't support him and he will run for President.

If Rand Paul drops his Amnesty position and comes out strong for enforcement only and then gains the nomination, I'll support him.

Otherwise, he'll never get my vote.

Anyone who supports Amnesty is a Traitor!

I don't vote for traitors.

A tiny percentage of freepers. I've got a list of the most annoying and vocal. They mean less than a fart in a tornado.

I wish you were right about that, but from observation think you are underestimating them.

It's one of the attacks the MSM is telegraphing they will use. It's one of the battle lines the MSM toadies have drawn.

The same old suspects, doing the same old things, with the almost certain same old results.

Once a candidate is declared a looser, someone always returns that he's not 100% pure. LOL!

He's a traitor - he traded what those who elected him in PA for in to 'do it for the team' and he did it again in '12. He can put the ivory up his butt and he will still have dirty hands. He protected Romney by taking the clueless conservative votes and handed them to Romney - 'their plan/the GOPe's plan' all along to PREVENT Newt from being the candidate. At the time the plan was made - they weren't sure if PALIN would run. So the plan was for - AGAINST any conservative - and Santorum was their 'useable self proclaimed' conservative. He makes my stomach turn as much as his pimp Romney.

Excellent news.

The libtards are WAAYYY overdue for at least a dozen years of night sweats and nocturnal enuresis sessions!

I hope Ted has beefed up his security. These azzholes play dirty!

Too bad Santorum is not a fiscal Conservative.
