Ted Cruz Gets A 2016 Super PAC

Three days after the 2014 midterm election, a super PAC supporting a 2016 presidential bid by Ted Cruz was born.

The Stand For Principle PAC was established by Maria Strollo Zack, a Georgia-based lobbyist and political operative who previously worked on GOP White House campaigns by Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich.

But after seeing the freshman senator from Texas speak at a conference and meeting him at a campaign event for Georgia Sen.-elect David Perdue, Zack decided she had settled on her presidential horse for the 2016 cycle.

She calls Cruz "bold, fearless and willing to do what it takes to stand by our Constitution."

The PAC, which will be permitted to raise and spend unlimited sums of funds, will "educate people about Sen. Cruz's positions and why he should be president," according to Zack.

"It’s certainly my hope that he will run," she told U.S. News.

In recent months, Cruz has been staffing up with additional communications and political staffers in preparation for a potential White House bid. Last week, U.S. News first reported Cruz was beginning to peruse office space for a presidential campaign headquarters in Houston.

The law requires any action by the Stand For Principle PAC be separate from an official Cruz campaign, but there's some evidence Cruz allies have given the entity their tacit blessing.

Zack says Cruz's roommate from Harvard Law School, David Panton, has written the first check to the PAC. She declined to say the amount, but indicated her goal was to raise $50 million for the PAC by Super Tuesday, a primary day that falls in early March of 2016.

"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 showed where his sympathies actually lie. He voted for McConnell to be his Senate Majority Leader.

Check this out, xzins.

Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

He knows he’ll play a more powerful role behind the scenes...

[basil]

I’ve met the man—and as far as I can tell, he’s the real deal! I would back him and vote for him in a heartbeat.

[ansel12]

LOL, don’t be so quick to show the world your political ignorance.

[TheConservativeParty]

Ted is the only one I will support.
I love Gov. Walker but we need him here in WI for the next 4 years so the zombie libs remain somewhat suppressed.

GO TED GO !

He voted for McConnell to be his Senate Majority Leader.

*****************

I guess you could say he voted for McConnell since the
vote was by acclamation.

Damn!! Now us principled types have no candidate for 2016/s

[TheConservativeParty]

I actually fear losing Gov.Walker to higher office at this point. The Lt.Gov. Kleefisch is a great gal, but not the high powered Teflon hero that Scott Walker is.

It would be nice if Scott won a 3rd time as Gov. Heck, Governor for life is OK with me!

LOL

Doing the happy dance! YES!!!

What do you even say to someone who says Ted Cruz is “blatantly owned by corporations”? This is, of course, a relative who thinks all corporations are evil.
