"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 wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

Aside from the first paragraph the article is supportive of Cruz. I'm not sure why the author, who is skeptical of Cruz at first, but increasing impressed by him, would think that Cruz isn't a “statesman.” Seems to me the ability to convince skeptics that you are correct in your point of view is the essence of statesmanship.

Its hard to believe but Ted Cruz and Barack Obama do have one thing in common.
One thing? Huh. They are practically twins.

My problem with the Texas senator, as I have written previously, has been one of tactics, not ideology. I was put off, as were a significant portion of the electorate, if we can believe the polls, by his effort to shut down the government over Obamacare, even though that same electorate disdained Obamas absurd healthcare legislation or should I say prevarication? Nevertheless, for a moment, the Republican brand was damaged. I was worried that it might be fatal. I was dead wrong. It would appear that you are very confused and wrong about a lot of things, Roger Simon.
First, Last October, Obama vindictively shut down the federal government upon his having refused to delay ObamaCare, which of course is exactly what he himself lawlessly did on February 10, 2014!
Second ... he compares the Nobel 'Peace' prize with the Claremont Institute's Statesmanship Award?! And by inference, Yasser Arafat and algore with Milton Friedman and Margaret Thatcher?! WTF?!
And lastly, he extols the virtues of the Claremont Institute ... "Id like to tip my hat to the Claremont Institute. For those of you who dont know it, its doing great work. You should educate yourself." ... And yet, he won't accept their great work in bestowing their award upon Senator Ted Cruz?
My advice to you Mr. Simon is to let go of your Establishment biases and join the Claremont Institute and true conservatives by jumping aboard the Cruz Missile bandwagon.

Cruz's Ivy League background is a reason to vet him very very carefully.
Them folks (IV League) have done more damage to the Republic than all the Hitlers, Stalins and Maos combined.

Both outstanding speaker that dont have a single result.Haha! IMHO, if it wasn't for feckless 'leadership' in Senator Cruz' own party, he would have plenty of "results" for us all to cheer.
And ... regarding "results", please enumerate for the thread the many accomplishments of the loser from the 2012 GOP POTUS primary ....
'Yes, I supported Senator Specter ... what of it?
To: napscoordinator
Both outstanding speaker that dont have a single result. How many Supreme Court cases did Obama argue...and win?
The total for Cruz is thirteen.
He is a man of singular accomplishment in his chosen field: Constitutional Law.
Obama was a community organizer. How do you find them comparable in any way?

Cruz could not convince anybody of his views or bills. Not one thing has he been able to get passed. He is a failure at the highest degree. Santorum has had many bills passed while he was in the Senate. Santorum is 100 times the man that is “cruz”. Cruz has absolutely no leadership skills.

Who cares how many Supreme Courts cases he won. Perhaps that is what he should do if he is so good at it. He certainly sucks as a Senator which is proven by absolutely not a thing done. If he was a leader, he would be able to have the Senators both Republicans AND Democrats vote his way. As it is, he talks but always ends up as a dud.

I’d love to be on this ping list, but I fear that keeping up with it might be too much for me.
