Ted Cruz isn’t Rand Paul or Marco Rubio. Here’s yet another reason why.

Cruz iz da real deal

[txrangerette]

You haven’t absorbed much of Ted’s communication style, or you could not help but see he has the gifts to go right over the heads of RINOS and DEMS and MEDIA to the American People.

Being Reaganesque in that way does not at all imply that he is “just like Reagan” in any other way.

There was only one Reagan, ever.

And there will be only one Ted Cruz, ever.

The similarity is coming from your feeble attempt to compare Cruz to Bachmann. Others are striving to compare him to Palin.

I’m saying he is comparable to Reagan in the way that I defined it.

Nice try.

Doesn’t work, though.

Watch and see.

[txrangerette]

Louis Gohmert.

I’m sure that’s who you mean.

We would love him to run against Cornyn.

Rand Paul has endorsed Mitch McConnell for re-election in Kentucky, signaling he wants good relations with the GOPe.

Rubio just did the same over the weekend.

[LS]

I will say this: Paul has a great deal of support-—far more than anyone else-—from the 18-30 year olds. They very much like his privacy concerns, and his anti-interventionist foreign policiy views.

I will say this: Paul has a great deal of support-—far more than anyone else-—from the 18-30 year olds. They very much like his privacy concerns, and his anti-interventionist foreign policiy views.

And he has his own Amnesty proposal.

Rand has made himself irrelevant, from a conservative perspective, by his dalliance with the GOP-E.

I think people will be hungry for an anti establishment politician like Cruz in three more years. There will be millions of people who are hurt by the disaster called obamacare. Three years of stewing in the obamacare juices should be enough to wake the deepest sleepers.

[McGavin999]

I like a lot about Paul as well, the thing I don’t like is his support of McConnell and his support of illegal immigration. I hate having to say this every time immigration is discussed but I have NO problem with increasing LEGAL immigration, I just do not believe lawbreakers should ever be rewarded for breaking our laws.

[RitaOK]

One would think!

OTOH, after generations of increasing and now obvious and solid Marxism coursing through every public school, university and academia, where are any under 60 who even know what has been lost?

The media indoctrination complex carries both
the Marxists and their message 24/7.

We fight on, by the grace of God.

[LS]

I agree. It is a definite sticking point.

[alstewartfan]

Louie Gomez isn’t so bad either, I hear....

[alstewartfan]

The way that socialists from all over the world seem to predominate those who come to America, I have a problem with the legal immigration system as well.

[Gene Eric]

>> But Cruz is charting an entirely different path.

But a path the Country traveled long ago...

Go Cruz!

[Gene Eric]

Haven’t yet seen a thing I dislike about Gomez.

Cruz, Gomez, Palin, West... we’re so damn sexist and xenophobic.

[onyx]

If he wants to stay in the senate he’ll be fine. But beyond that, he’ll run into trouble with his very high negatives among the non-tea party electorate (about 80% of the voting population).

Please realize that the Marxist would be delaying Obamacare right now, but for Senator Cruz!

The Marxist just might have to relent and delay Obamacare anyway, even though that will give Senator Cruz a huge win! Cruz has the Marxist and the demonic-rats cornered. They're damned if they do and truly damned if they don't.

Fines will be imposed by the IRS come 2014 for NOT enrolling, but it's impossible to enroll!

"Folks" as Obama calls everyone, are very unhappy and some are livid with the rates they're seeing, so those "folks" are not enrolling. It'll be much easier for them to simply state that they could not complete the process, and who's to prove otherwise?

Senator Cruz is smarter and more accomplished than all of his enemies put together. The Palin treatment won't work on him. He's seen that nasty scheme played on her. She eventually bested them and she came out stronger than ever and McCain came out weaker and more bitter than ever.

Senator Cruz holds the cards. You've never seen him lose his cool and you won't. He knows he's dealing with cutthroat, vicious fools, yet he keeps smiling, while answering their attempts at 'gotcha' questions, with grace and dignity.

God bless and keep Senator Cruz and his precious family.

[txrangerette]

I don’t know any Louis Gomez.

I DO KNOW Representative Louis Gohmert from East Texas and he is a prize.

[JediJones]

Cruz is a much better communicator than Bachmann.

Being down in the polls when every liberal and media outlet has been bashing him and people had never heard of him before is expected. They’re spending so much hot air trying to destroy him precisely because they know how talented and threatening he is. Once Cruz gets a national platform and can speak directly to the public they will get to know who he is, not the caricature that’s been portrayed. He’ll knock his convention speech and debate performances out of the park. And that’s really when people make up their minds about a candidate.

[Gene Eric]

Thank you for the correction.
