Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, is scheduled to be a featured speaker at the fourth annual South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention to be held Jan. 17-19 in Myrtle Beach.

Joe Dugan, founder and executive producer of the convention, said Friday that the event will also feature training classes for grassroots leaders and activists and panel discussions.

The convention offers a platform for possible 2016 contenders to pitch their message to potential voters in the early presidential state; other speakers scheduled to appear include retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Cruz, Mr. Santorum, and Mr. Carson are also scheduled to head to Iowa — home to the first-in-the-nation caucuses — the following week for GOP Rep. Steve King’s Iowa Freedom Summit along with a number of other possible 2016 contenders, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

	"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

I wish Palin would organize a tea party or other patriot “convention” and select ONE conservative candidate to run against the h@nddul of rinos in the primary...we need to gwt to one candidate /ticket to keep from dilution or Jeb or other will win.

[apocalypto]

I agree.

Santorum was my preferred candidate in 2012; then he failed to file in his own residential state of VA and then endorsed Trayvon Martin. Needless to say, he faded quickly.

former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania is in fact a Union GOON..
as are several speakers scheduled..

Not only will they NEVER mention america’s Unions at all...
they will ignore you if YOU DO!... -or- LIE..

America;s Unions are controlled absolutely and completely by COMMUNISTS...
A WORD—>> which translated for the eye rollers are Socialists and Progressives..

You know..... as republicans and faux conservatives.. desquised in costume as patriots with makeup and everything..
i.e. Kabuki Republicanism..

[hosepipe]

better speakers would include BILL WHITTLE and Andrew Klavan..

Ted Cruz is the only Republican presidential candidate who would be certain to win in 2016...if the GOPe does not saboutage and backstab him.

[SoConPubbie]

Was tempted to post it but considered the source.
