Don;t get me wrong.
I like Walker, but NOT for President.
I believe he's sold out to the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" and will SAY ANYTHING to get elected.
I don't believe he's the same moral man he was.

In 75 and 77, I did AN-Guard "Summer Camp" at Camp Douglas and I liked the cheese and the countryside.

Just curious, but why in the world would I give a rat’s ass for what Robert Leonard thinks? Also, who the hell is Robert Leonard?

Agreed. I definitely like the countryside of Wisconsin. Especially, near Stevens Point, about middle of the state. Lots of Norway and white pine trees. Fresh air there helps remove the stink of the liberal cesspool in Madison. About 1.5 hours northeast of Tomah, Camp Douglas area. Thank you for your military service.

See? They are already trying to choose the Right’s candidate. Thanks but NO THANKS.

And Cruz has my vote so far!

All they need to do is find a weaker candidate than Hillary!™.

Well, that, and massive voter fraud...

If Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush are the answer, you ask stupid questions.

If there is an election in ‘16 and I am still alive, I will either mark the box after Cruz’s name or write in Cruz’s name. I fully understand that the “Vote Republican or the Democrats win” clan on this forum will have a hissy fit from now to the end of time. But Mitt was the last time I sell my soul and vote for the Establishment Democrat Lite “to keep the Democrats from winning”. And for what it is worth, both times I did this, the Democrat won.

My question is, “If Pelosi and Reid were still in the majority in 2016, how would government in America be worse?” Answer: It wouldn’t b/c the two traitors we replaced them with are collaborating with the old leaders to screw us. And a Jeb Bush would be working with them as well. What is the point?

I'm with you on this. I wrote in Palin last presidential election cycle because Romney would have been just an Obama-lite disaster, but with Republicans being blamed for the loss of liberties, debt, and the poor economy.

This time I will write in Cruz. I personally don't think Jeb will get the nomination, but even if a moderate Republican (Think Walker) is put into place by the establishment against the wishes of us conservatives (they do control the caucus process, after all - bastards), it will only take but a short year before voters in America demand new blood, a new voice, and that obviously would be Cruz.

But I really do think Cruz will get the nomination because his Miracle of America message is the embodiment of populism, and that appeals to all people, except for RINOS, of course.

Here’s what one of Iowa’s best monitors of the Iowa GOP said about Cruz:

http://theiowarepublican.com/2015/takeaways-from-the-iowa-ag-summit/

...Ted Cruz: The conservative firebrand did not back down from his opposition to federal agriculture subsidies. “You’d like me to do is say I’m for the RFS,” he told the crowd, but noted “people are fed up with politicians who tell one group one thing and another group another thing.”

Cruz, whose father escaped Cuba in the 1950s, hammered President Obama’s plan to revive relations with the island nation. Cruz noted that although he is an emphatic advocate for free trade, but Cuba is a communist dictatorship, the Castros have been brutal dictators and “they are exporting terrorism throughout the hemisphere.”

There were a lot of comments from attendees that Cruz was filibustering at times. He seemed determined to run out the clock with lengthy answers and critiques of President Obama...

Pardon my suspicion that the author is a liberal.

Out of all the speakers, he chose Cruz to slam and Bush to have a thrill over. NOT a Conservative stance by any means.

I understand Ted Cruz has a book coming out, “A Time for Truth” .. how appropriate.
