If you had to vote in your state primary/caucus today, knowing what you know now about the various declared and probable candidates, who would you vote for? Why? Who would you like to see as the running mate for your preferred candidate? If you could help staff your candidates cabinet and other top appointments, who would you choose? If you could recommend different congressional leaders than we have now, who would they be? And who would you like to see on the Supreme Court and why? And finally, feel free to donate to Free Republic.
if that is what you took from what I wrote , then run with it.

Ted Cruz
It’s called Hypocrisy 2nd Division, hypocrisy from the Walker supporters.
Double standards ya know, can’t have Ted Cruz as the nominee, gottsta block him at all costs.
At this point in time, I’d have to say Ted Cruz is my primary pick.
I confess I still find the trade stuff to be confusing...it’s both the greatest thing ever or the worst thing ever...so I’m setting that aside as an issue and looking at the rest.
On immigration, I wish he were a little stronger and stricter, but his position is still more solid than most of the other candidates.
He’s solid on a lot of key issues, and this is what helps sway me...Obamacare, 2nd Amendment rights, smaller/less intrusive government, honoring our allies and standing strong against our enemies.
He’s articulate and principled...and he seems genuinely willing and able to fight for us on conservative principles.
As a running mate, I’m open to ideas but I like Carly Fiorina for a lot of reasons.
I’d dump most of our so-called leaders in Congress. They’re worthless.
Santorum, Fiorina and Rand have all come out against TPP. There may be others, but I found quotes from all of them.
Crrruuuuuuzzzzzzzzz!!!!1
Ted Cruz
Cruz or lose!
But Cruz voted for it. If the other candidates didn't vote for it, then they are not directly responsible. Ted Cruz and any other candidate who VOTED for it are the responsible parties.
So NOW that they have approved fast tracking this crap sandwich, we all get to sample it. Just remember that when it comes to these treaties, black to the Chinese may be white to the US. What is lost in translation can be used in very unintended ways.
Now that the TPP treaty is on the fast track and can't be amended, what provisions of it will benefit the a United States as a whole and the lowly American Citizens as individuals?
Still Cruz.
Cruz or lose!
I’m with you.
Ted Cruz
ANYBODY WHO SAYS TED CRUZ DOES NOT HAVE “EXECUTIVE” EXPERIENCE” .. IS REALLY SAYING - THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT A SOLICITOR GENERAL REALLY DOES. I HOPE THIS INFO WILL PUT THAT LIE TO REST FOR GOOD.
The following is a description of what Ted Cruz did as Solicitor General of the State of Texas. When you read all the items he was responsible for, it boggles the mind.
I thought he supervised all the attorneys in TX, but that’s not true. His office only supervises cases before the Federal Supreme Count, the TX Supreme Court, or the State’s Appellate Courts. His ability to direct and assist all these lawyers in all these different courts, is astounding; along with 14 attorneys and a support staff to help him.
Having worked in a law office consisting of 140 lawyers (in 3 offices in different cities), and having to keep all these cases straight; all documents filed in the right court; all documents stamped with the correct case number. It’s a monumental task. I used to take dictation from a lawyer in San Francisco .. while he was writing a brief which had to be filed that day. He was watching as I was typing .. and editing as we went along. I have to assume that in a state as big as TX, that type of document writing would be common, requiring a team of several typists.
Office of Solicitor General:
As the chief appellate lawyer for the State of Texas, the Solicitor General supervises ALL appellate litigation on behalf of the Office of the Attorney General. The Office of Solicitor General (OSG) APPROVES ALL civil and criminal appeals in state and federal courts involving the state, its agencies and its officials. OSG also directly handles those appeals determined to be most significant to Texas and to the development of federal and state jurisprudence and appears on occasion in federal and state trial courts on matters implicating the state’s most critical interests. In addition, OSG regularly authors amicus curiae (friend of the Court) briefs for submission to the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts across the nation.
The Solicitor General is the state’s chief litigator in the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court. In addition, as a member of the Attorney General’s executive leadership team, the Solicitor General serves as a top legal advisor to the Attorney General and advises other agency lawyers and state officials on complex constitutional and other legal matters.
Established in January 1999, the Texas OSG is expressly modeled after the Office of the Solicitor General at the U.S. Department of Justice. The federal OSG was created through the Statutory Authorization Act of June 22, 1870, which provides that “[t]here shall be in the Department of Justice an officer learned in the law, to assist the Attorney General in the performance of his duties, to be called the Solicitor General.”
The Texas OSG appears regularly before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Supreme Court of Texas, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the intermediate state courts of appeals. Since 1999, OSG attorneys have presented 15 oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court, 74 in the Texas Supreme Court, and hundreds in other federal and state appellate and trial courts, including arguments before every intermediate court of appeals in Texas as well as three en banc arguments before the Fifth Circuit. OSG has won eight Best Brief Awards from the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) for briefs filed in the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Solicitor General of Texas is supported by two deputies, over a dozen assistant solicitors general and a highly dedicated support staff.
I REST MY CASE ..!!!!!
Post this where you will.
If the House just showed that, it wouldn’t have lost in the first go around. Unions still have money and they still help Dems...so, yes, their input still counts.
So, because Cruz is voting to renew something that has been around for decades, he is now supporting Obama? I guess you overlooked the amendments, etc, that he proposed. If you are incapable of seeing that Cruz is a Conservative, you are a lost cause.
Nobody is arguing that Nancy is Conservative...but you obviously support her, since you agree with her on TPA,right?
And yes, the others would have too if they were involved with the voting. That is a specious argument
You do realize that Sessions has a history with Free Trade deals like CAFTA, right? Please, I beg you, do some homework before posting things like this.
I like Sessions too, but CAFTA was a back door way for Amnesty. But, yes, he is more trustworthy than Cruz
Yes, it was all of Cruz’s fault. All by himself. He alone could have stopped it! WOE IS US! He is EVIL!
