Senator TED CRUZ is doing exactly what I expected him to do, when I voted to send him to the United States Senate.

My other member of the Senate is doing absolutely NOTHING that I sent him to do. As a result, I will be voting to send John Wayne McCornyn back home to Texas or where ever else he decides to go upon clearing out his office.

"Just look at that white tie and those shades, and that little wave to “his sheep”. He looks more like a Drug Lord than a Presidential candidate."

Anything good to say about him?

"I predict that Mc Connell will be reelected and the Republicans will gain the majority in the Senate and Cruz’s committee appointments will be the Sanitation and Sewage Disposal Committee. He can really do a lot for Texans from there. Of course, I guess it doesn’t matter what he does for Texas, because he will be busy campaigning for President even if it is to represent a third party that will help the Democrats (Remember Ross Perot)."

Yeppers, most RINO's think this way.

Is your medication wearing off, or did you increase the dosage?

Well Karl please tell us how many million you going to milk out of this election and just exactly what has the RINO leadership done to instill ANY faith they will EVER push a Conservative Agenda? Who was it that was saying last fall the budget fight should be in the spring on the debt Ceiling then when it can He was the Final vote to push thru the Debt Ceiling without limits? Oh Yeah, Little Bitch McConnell. Who was it just a couple of weeks ago that was suggesting pushing thru Amnesty in the House? Cry Baby Boner. There is Leadership RINOs like... Here's a hint. YOU'RE ON THE WRONG FORUM TO PUSH THAT CRAP!

I saw that asshat on Hannity last night. What a self centered egotistical jerk off.

All he could whine about was that Cruz didn’t tell the “leadership” what his plan was before he did anything. That and the fact that they were hearing from their voters
unhappy about the fact that they were not helping Cruz.

Like he is dumb enough to not figure out John McCain, Bitchy McConnell, Kelly Ayotte etc. wouldn’t either torpedo his attempt or go whine to the press off the record to smear him before he did it.

He knows who the enemy is and KARL ROVE is in their ranks.

...even if it is to represent a third party that will help the Democrats (Remember Ross Perot)...

Actually my recollection is that Ross Perot had taken the lead in the polls amongst the three candidates AND then he dropped out. He was merely a stalking horse for Bill Clinton to divert votes away from George the First. Once he got in the lead he dropped out of the race. Clinton had a large lead, but then Bush clawed back into the race. At that time Perot jumped back into the race (probably at Clinton's beckoning. Or maybe Perot just hated Bush's guts), but given his earlier dropout he had the 'flake' label applied to him, and he merely diverted enough votes away from Bush to ensure Clinton's election.

Given the state of both Parties, and the mess we are in - a serious Third Party candidate could win.

That said, 'given the mess we are in', and the size of the Government bloat ... I don't know if it matters who we elect as President. It will be David vs. Goliath redux.
Trust in the Lord - all others will disappoint.

He looks fine to me. Has Ted Cruz declared that he is running for President?

Cruz is doing his job — representing the state that elected him. It is obama and his administration that is out of control.

I’m sort of an old retired Army guy (Vietnam through Enduring Freedom) and I look forward to saluting President Cruz as our Commander in Chief!

Sure wish I could have voted for Sen. Cruz; my current Congresscritters are Flimsey Graham Tinkerbelle & James (”you’re all racists!!”) Clyburn.

So, you’re very familiar with the Drug Lords and how they dress. . .

Way to really raise the quality of discourse. /sarc

hopefully as a result of his move last week, Corny will be knocked into a runoff....then defeated.

I'll be doing my part!

He looks more like a Drug Lord than a Presidential candidate.

Is that the PC way to call someone a "spic"? Like the old conventional periphrases identifying "dagos" and "goombas" using references to black shirts and white ties, big cars and lots of diamonds? -- the latter being spivvy paleo-"bling".

So are you down on him because someone in his family tree spoke ingles with an accent? He's my senator and I like him just fine. So what's your take? He should dress out of a Land's End catalog?

The media’s been on full-court press, and will remain so until Cruz is as unelectable as Palin....and anybody that says the MSM is “dead” is an idiot.
