“Only lost cause is Cruz”: Which GOP candidates shined (or flopped) in Iowa this weekend

Salon ^ | March 9, 2015 | Robert Leonard

Misleading headline, isn't it? Read the whole thing. Ted Cruz isn't a "lost cause" as a candidate, but as a supporter of ethanol. Boy, they soooo want Jeb Bush to be our nominee. Why is that, do you think?

[Yosemitest]

I think they can kiss my @ss!

It's CRUZ ... or LOSE !

[Ronin]

For the same reasons we don’t.

"Boy, they soooo want Jeb Bush to be our nominee. Why is that, do you think?"

Simple.

If he's on the GOP-e ticket, then it doesn't matter who wins.

[Veggie Todd]

So the Dimwits want Jebbie, but not Cruz.
As another FReeper said, "Lordy no, please don't throw me in that there briar patch".

Who’s funding Salon these days? They were practically bankrupt a decade ago when they fell off the stock market.

They’d get an influx of “investment” money but it always seemed that they’d fart out after the ‘next’ election.

I guess it’s a cheaper/private way to circulate campaign messages under the banner of being “journalism”.

[John Valentine]

When I saw the quote they pulled that lead from, I laughed out loud. The desperation is obvious! Ted Cruz scares the bejeezus out of liberals.

[Conservative4Ever]

I’m thinking you are correct. The MSM is picking Jeb for us.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Geez. How much did Jeb’s people pay this writer to kiss his @ss?

[Gaffer]

Salon wants Jeb Bush, that’s what I think.

Further, I find it reprehensible that a small group (with respect to the size of other conservatives around the country) hold so much undue sway at so early a stage in the nomination gateway.

I find it a pandering, lop-sided farmer’s beauty contest where the winner is the babe who’s willing to shuck some corn.

I could give a crap what a couple hundred farmers think about subsidized ethanol and RFS when our country is being inundated, literally being choked of its wealth and future by millions and millions of infesting invaders. And, for one of those self-interested farmers to tell Salon, tell the world that “Cruz is a lost cause” and hear all about little Jebby, it just pisses me off to the core. Screw them. They ain’t seen lost yet. I’ll NEVER vote for Jeb Bush under any circumstance.

[Gaffer]

Perhaps I was too hasty in my remarks. Upon reflection I think that “.....I find it a pandering, lop-sided farmer’s beauty contest where the winner is the babe who’s willing to shuck some corn” should read:

“I find it a pandering , lopsided farmer’s beauty contest where the winner is the babe who’s willing to shuck some Ethanol Corn in a bikini.”

It’s sad that the people we tend to consider the most independent and down-to-earth are also keen on keeping their subsidies and cheap labor supply.

[eartick]

The MSM is picking Jeb for us

This is true every time in my opinion. Them and the northeast.

After this Obama travesty of 8 years I hope it does not happen again.

Lets support Cruz early before the MSM and GOPe anoint Bush

Cruz or Lose

[who knows what evil?]

There are several ‘news sources’ that are banned at FR...Salon should be one of them...along with Huffington Post and Slate. Why support the enemy?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Wow.

Just posting, that you have quite a timestamp there.

:D

OK we now return you to your regular posting.

[stanne]

I don’t think it’s misleading, I think it’s encouraging. Salon thinks so highly of its own power it points us directly toward the one they are most afraid of as a viable candidate and a threat to America haters little utopia

[ballplayer]

Sign of the Times,the only candidate with the guts to tell the truth is portrayed as the loser.
I guess it’s true everything in the country is upside down

[who knows what evil?]

It isn’t easy; let me tell you.
