	"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

Ted Cruz Ping!

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

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

“Cruz scared the daylights out of centre and center-right conservatives to the extent that they do not feel comfortable enough to run on their true positions and feel compelled to cater to the most conservative elements of the Texas Republican primary electorate,” said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University in Houston.

So they have to act like leftists and lie about what they really think?

LOLZ

It’s not so much Cruz that these People are afraid, as the number of voters that agree with him.

My wife made me contribute to a Rep. fundraiser and Ted Cruz and his wife were there early last year. They were the most comfortable, authentic and real persons. We just talked about raising young children. He reminds me of John Adams. He has a life, and does not need show lights.

The author writes about the rinos being pissed about the public backlash of shutting down the government, then points out that Cruz has more public support than the rinos.

As for those who “do not feel comfortable enough to run on their true positions”, it shows they’ll run on lies then turn back to the snakes that they are once they’re elected.

I’m hoping the bad weather in Texas tomorrow will keep the rino/LIVs away from the polls. I sure would love to see Cornyn fall.

Among Ohio Republicans, Ted Cruz is regarded as a vitriolic buffoon.

Most political commercials here in Texas contains 3 things: 1) "Fighting" (Obama, Obamacare, those Liberal Bureaucrats in Washington, those Liberal bureaucrats in Austin), 2) Obama is the Devil (of course, we all know that, but George P. Bush running as Land Commissioner?, and 3) A Ted Cruz endorsement is the Holy Grail.

"This is Mutt the Hoople. As Johnson County DogCatcher, I promise to FIGHT those Obama Liberal Bureaucrats in Washington and the Wendy Davis Liberal Bureaucrats in Austin (not only FIGHT them, but grab them by the nose and kick their asses all the way to the Rio Grande, where I'll make all the illegal aliens in Texas cross back over!). Ted Cruz certainly approves.

"Oh, and the "moment of silence" in school? If elected, I'll FIGHT to have TWO Moments of silence....hell, I'll make those kids be silent the WHOLE DAY! Ted Cruz knows the value of moments of silence....

"And finally, I'll not only respect and defend the 2nd Amendment, but I'll FIGHT to demand all dogowners get Firearms Training at an NRA-accredited Weapons school....you think those Liberal Obama Bureaucrats will take your dog when they're staring down the barrel of .44 Magnum? Ted CRuz loves dogs, my opponent wants to eat dogs like his hero Barack Hussein Obama. "God, Guns, Guts, Immigration Reform, Love of Dogs, FIGHTING, and Ted Cruz...THAT'S what makes Mutt the Hoople YOUR Choice for Johnson County Dogcatcher."

[Nifster]

I sure hope so....and I hope that it makes Kristina Pierson the next candidate for the House instead of that weasel Pete Sessions

Last year, Mr. Cruz led the push to deny funding to President Barack Obama’s healthcare plan, resulting in a 16-day government shutdown.

The Lie, repeated.

[rainee]

Texas primaries tomorrow?? anyone in TX have any input on which way the wind blowing in regards to ousting Cornhole?

[Caipirabob]

Nature abhors a vacuum, especially one of leadership.

Ted, we've been waiting for you...

[12th_Monkey]

He’s a young man, so he can lead the way for a long time, but the Dems and Rep establishment will have the long knives out for him.

[NorthMountain]

LOL!

Ted Cruz tells the truth, and all the cringing GOPe pansies wet their panties. Disgusting.

Ted Cruz for President.
