It's the "pastor" thing in my estimation.

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? Never mind — it is all about fighting.
On foreign policy he began strongly, dousing the sparks of isolationism with very solid speeches on Russia and Iran. In his trip to Israel and Eastern Europe he came across as informed and poised. But also showed himself to be erratic, joining with the isolationists in opposing enforcement of the red line in Syria....

It's the "pastor" thing in my estimation.
The local religious TV broadcast station is now carrying Sonlight (The Jimmy Swaggart channel) all the time on a digital sub-channel. Non-stop Jimmy Swaggart song and dance and crying around the clock. Somebody is paying to support that.
WAPOst is a bigger joke every year.You gotta wonder if anyone who is not a true blue commie really takes their crap seriously.
Go Sarah/Ted Go!!
I don’t think I ever read anything from Jennifer Rubin before, but she is clearly another liberal posing as a conservative.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
I’ve been telling all the “conservative crybabies” on the web and there are lots of them, the stay at homers, that if they don’t want a Romney or a Jeb they better get behind Cruz or Perry or someone conservative “Now” or pay the price when the primaries are over.
“Now” is the time. We can’t wait.
I do not think Huckabee is going to run for President. He has his plush tv show on two nights a week, gets to play bass. Maybe he would be considered for VP somewhere down the way.
More Bush-Rove Cruz bashing. This one shows how really out of touch they are with conservatives.
I prefer Cruz, but I do like Jindal.
He might run as Jeb’s stalking horse so that Jeb doesn’t have to pretend to be conservative. It’ll be Huck, Santorum, or both.
Senator Cruz has my vote.
That’s more than true. But I’m talking about the 2016 race for potus.If we want a conservative candidate its up to us to make it happen.We are not going to get much help either.
“She’s keen on Rick Perry”
Governor Perry just hired henry barbour, he must have some Conservative Republican he wants kneecapped or maby he wants unca haley’s influence with the USCC or government of Mexico.
Great pic, KC Lion!
The left is offended without trying, but Cruz is cool about what he says regardless.
I am not swayed by any dunderheaded skirt or kilt wearing op-ed writer of any rag.
I listen to the candidate. I watch the candidate.
I make MY OWN conclusions.
I DO NOT vote ‘party’, because I do not believe the ‘party’, since both ‘parties’ have shown that they are full of themselves, first, and me, last.
I vote what would be good for the NATION, and it’s FUTURE, which I figure is the best legacy I can give, since I am childless.
Oh, and btw, I did NOT vote for The-Queer-In-Charge and his man-wife.
The beltway, cocktail party elite seem to think that continual attacks on the Conservative wing of the R party will somehow win us over and get us to vote for their chosen candidates.
Nope. Keep at it tho GOP, you will eventually reap your just rewards.
