Tough-talking Ted Cruz flies into 2nd place in Iowa polls, largely at Ben Carson's expense
Fox News Latino ^ | November 23, 2015

With a world on edge after the coordinated terror attacks in Paris, and as criticism grows louder of the Obama administration’s handling of adversaries such as Iran and Syria, tough talk and defiance have become strong currencies in the presidential race.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson’s mild-mannered, soft-spoken demeanor – which helped endear him to many voters in the first place – now appears to be working against him, while Sen. Ted Cruz’s tell-it-like-it-is, in-your-face style is now raising his stock.

In the crucial state of Iowa, which holds closely-watched caucuses, the event in Paris on Nov. 13 changed many conservatives’ preference for Carson and are sending them to Cruz’s corner, according to Politico....

Carson is a total kook. “I stabbed a kid” is a fantasy. He is a sick puppy. Cruz is the natural #2. We love him!! but he was born in Canada. Rubio is MR. AMNESTY with his butt buddie, up Chuck SCREWMER!!. Rubio can go to hell!!

Interesing. No Author.

I’d credit it to Obama, but I’m certain he would be incapable of writing it.

Cruz has always been ahead .. .Media only asks who they want to ask and they can own their Polls and results, they paid for them.

I only want GOPe or GOPE to lose... BIG TIME and that means Hillary has to lose too and they know if it isn’t Jeb or Rubio at the end of the Primaries then they have misspent Millions if not Billions.
And if Hillary wins GOPe and GOPE well they can cut their losses considerably on K Street, therefore there are many employed “Consultants” that will lose employment if the “Polls” do not reflect what GOPe, or GOPE have paid for.

I worry far more about GOPe, GOPE than Hillary or Bernie... You have to identify the enemy before expending anything and Trump has been efficient as well as Cruz.

“We love him!! but he was born in Canada. “

The fact that Ted was born in Canada is completely irrelevant.

I was born in Ohio

I live in Texas

I will Die in Texas, For Texas if I have to.

The World of Politics changes constantly and is rarely predictable. Christians must unite and soon.

I know it is from a Movie and Movie script writers but it is applicable... “We need to get Mean, Plumb Mad Dog Mean, cause if you don’t you neither Win nor Live, and that is just the way it is” (Outlaw Josey Wales) .

GO TRUMP, GO CRUZ or vice versa

Just to be accurate ... the actual scene, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yid-CW-O9Qw

and it was ok for Obama to be born in Kenya? Let me tell you. It is a very important issue. Hardly “irrelevancy” unless you live in a world of wishful thinking. The GOPe right now is doing push polls in Iowa hoping to attack Trump with Cruz. There is no way Cruz went from 11 to 22 % in a week. That is a fabrication. Take this to the bank— The GOPe will attack Cruz on the legal issue in Article II if they can use him to dethrone Trump ( which they will never do) and then they will try to cram that amnesty loving POC RINIO down our throats followed by the damnedest third party you will ever see . This is a monster issue. I hope Cruz can prevail with SCOTUS but I doubt it very much. READ THE CONSTITUTION!!
