"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Good! This is the name of the game now. Our candidates absolutely have to appear on these shows to get past the media attacks. Glad to see it.

This could be fun.

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Yessssssss! Ted will kill it.

“Cruz was brilliant.” —Alan Dershowitz commenting recently on his formerstudent

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Cruz, be on your game. Leno has his assault prepared, with an 'Applause/No applause' sign RIGGED to embarrass Cruz. 'Stand your ground' will surely be brought up, and Leno's racist, all black band will get huffy and defensive. Cruz eligible to be president??? Leno will bash Cruz about this, too.

God Bless Ted Cruz. Tonight I'll be reminded once again that Leno is nothing but a puppet for his Soros/NBC owned by G.E. (complicit in the forged Obama birth certificate (read Doug Vogt's Court filing)) handlers.

Alan Dershowitz regards Cruz as his BRIGHTEST STUDENT EVER. NO JOKE!! Be strong, Cruz!

NBC's Savannah Guthrie is complicit in perpetrating the LIE that 0bama's birth certificate is authentic.. Oh wait, she was on Leno's show JUST LAST NIGHT!!

[Excellence]

I’d really like to see a Cruz/Lee ticket. Lee has a very strong, but muted, intellect. I think they’d make a great team.

[bigbob]

I don’t watch that crap but please report back and let everyone know how it goes. I’d be especially interested in knowing if Leno treats Sen. Cruz with respect or tries to do to him what Tina Fey does to Sarah Palin. If he does, I hope Cruz has the integrity to walk off the set...

[skinndogNN]

California audience?

Dude, he’s going to get booed. Big time.

[skinndogNN]

Cruz looks like a Hispanic Bill Mayer.

[Patriot Babe]

I bet you folks that once Ted Cruz sets foot on stage he will get a standing ovation. He will sweep the floor with Leno. Leno can’t hold a candle to Cruz’ intellect. God I can’t wait to see. I bet Leno will get a very high rating on the night Ted appears.

[PATRIOT1876]

It will be the highest ratings of the years.

The RINO’s will say “Wha’ Happen?” and call Les Nesman and Herb Tarlick into the office to discuss a new strategy for the GOP

[elkfersupper]

Brave man.

Not Cruz, Leno.

[LaybackLenny]

Only late night host I ever watch at all anymore is Craig Ferguson. He’s the most intelligent, creative and by far the funniest of the lot of ‘em. I will, however, watch Leno on 11/8. This will be REAL MUST-SEE TV.

[GeronL]

I hope he is prepared for the ambush

[ExCTCitizen]

I got to watch it!!!

[cookcounty]

I never watch these shows (I thought Leno got fired), and I’m guessing there are quite a few others of similar habit, so could someone tell us what time Leno is on?

[workerbee]

Ah geez... really?

I am so damn sick of our pop culture politics. Would’ve liked to think of Cruz as above this.

[Girlene]

I haven’t watched Leno, or any of the late night shows, in a long time. I’ll help his ratings tonight. Thanks for the heads up!

[conservative98]

The era of rino and moderate Repubic nominees is over.

Cruz 2016.

[lonevoice]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the political face of the recent government shutdown, will make his first late night TV appearance on Nov. 8 when he guests on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

Set your DVR. This will be worth watching. Of all the late night talk program hosts, Jay Leno is the one that will behave the most respectfully towards Cruz. Leno's generally quite civil, and tends to be a bit to the right of moderate, unlike the rest of his ilk who are mostly raging Marxists.

This is Ted's maiden voyage on late night TV, and a crystal clear indicator of his 2016 intentions.
