Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is fast becoming the king of useless fights and empty gestures. First came his destructive government shutdown gambit. Then came his half-baked idea for fighting the Islamic State. Then he set up a showy albeit unnecessary confrontation with a Christian group, managing to be the only one on the right these days magnifying differences between Jews and Christians — unlike, say, Gov. Mike Huckabee, who rallies Christians and Jews to a shared fight against jihadists bent on slaughtering both. And now Cruz is pushing a constitutional amendment to prevent federal courts from vindicating the rights of individuals who challenge state bans on gay marriage. (Consider how he would holler if the left came up with an amendment to prevent Second Amendment claims against gun bans from being heard.) And where would the states come from to pass such an amendment? Wouldn’t state courts still overturn anti-gay marriage bans — or is he running roughshod over those as well?

Hideous looking. ..
The Washington Pus is sure scared of Ted Cruz.

They’ve already tied their political rafts to amnesty-lover Rubio’s Titanic.
He flew back to Texas from DC a few weeks ago and announced, "It's great to be back in America."
I have been to one Cruz event. It was pretty much a routine speech. I do think he needs to work on the campaigning style of speechifying but he strikes one as honest and that he believes what he says.
I am sure of one thing——he will truly frighten a demorat pol that he would go against in the debate arena. He won’t need the teleprompter and will be completely prepared.
That’s no conservative of any kind, no way, no how!
Conservative women look good!
Rubin is only hired by the ComPost to backstab Republicans. POS.

The Establishment’s FEAR OF TED CRUZ continues to grow bigger and bigger. They must awaken in the middle of the night terrified at the thought of him.
Ted Cruz is the ONLY conservative that we must rally behind for 2016. United with Ted, we will be unstoppable.
As usual, a coordinated Rove-Bush-GOP-E attack against a Conservative threat to their status quo...
Bush, Romney, Rove, neo-cons, Paulestinians, paleos, Dems, NGOs, Soros, Media Matters, unions, etc...
Gomer Huckleberry is a buffoon that they’ll use to siphon off conservative votes.
There is that part of our Southern culture that loves him and his music. It’s too early in the morning (got up to see the lunar eclipse) for me to understand why.
