OOHHHH...The bad man is scary Momma!
HE SPOKE WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER!
SORCERY! SOURCERY! (sic)
Inspired me....but I was backing him from the jump.
Cruz it or lose it.
Calling all conservatives:
For those of you frustrated with the lack of options last time around, even to the point that some of you stayed home on election day; here is your chance to support a real conservative.
Ted Cruz is principled and actually has a pair.
Cruz said in Iowa that he’s against ethanol subsidies and said it’s about sticking to your commitments and not just changing your stance based on who your audience is. Every other candidate profiled at that time failed miserably in the ethanol subsidy test.
Plus Cruz has been great in fighting to stop Obamacare. He’s great for gun rights and has an excellent record as Texas Solicitor General, the way he stood up for US sovereignty against the UN really stands out to me.
So this is it conservatives. Ted Cruz is our guy.
Let’s get behind him, get involved. Donate, make phone calls, go door to door.
Let’s go Cruz!
Other than being pro-American, that's his biggest difference with BO.
Ted Cruz is the good Newt - without the baggage of the bad Newt - and looks better in a suit.
Ok, it’s OFFICIAL! I now have a horse in this race!!!!
I notice that Ted Cruz always wants to EARN our support. When was the last time a politician wanted to ‘earn’ anything, much less out support?
Mr. Cruz is not a politician, not by the modern definition, anyway. He’s coming mighty close to becoming a statesman.
Hey, was that a small reference to Free Republic by the caller? Darrell, are you in here with us?
Not only did he do a whole speech without a teleprompter, he probably didn’t even LIE in it.
Many of the other threads plus the local conservative talk radio seems to be headed in the direction of dismissing him as inexperienced, he’ll cave or is lying about things like immigration, or he will lie, all republicans do and a host of other flawed reasoning.
For God’s sake! He just announced, give him more than 5 minutes, one day, or even six months to put himself out there.
Same old so-called conservative habit of dismissing a good conservative candidate because
1. he doesn’t agree with me EXACTLY on all issues,
2. I don’t like his religion,
3. I don’t trust him to be different from the RINOs,
4. he is reported to have said something I didn’t like (but of course you never verify that is what he said),
5. I believe what the lying democrats and media say about him,
6. I believe what the RINO GOPe says about him.
7. ...and the list goes on
When do all you doubters of every conservative think you are going to find that perfect candidate so we don’t end up with one of the GOPe my-turners?
For all of those who thought Rush was in the Walker camp, please read the entire article.
The current income tax code is rife with political corruption and costs American residents and businesses US$1 TRILLION per year (as of 2014) in compliance costs and economic opportunity costs; just going to the flat tax would cut that by at least 70%, in my humble opinion (can you imagine Americans getting US$700 billion per year back to use for way more productive purposes?). I think Cruz would be open to even more radical tax reform like the FairTax proposal (H.R. 25/S. 155), which would free up over US$900 billion per year for more productive purposes.
That amount of money freed up per year would cause the biggest economic boom the USA has ever seen, and would literally "float the boat" of many other economies around the world along with it.
I had my doubts in the beginning that Ted Cruz would have much appeal beyond the solid conservatives. I'm happy to say that those doubts have been removed.
I see Cruz pulling in millions of voters who have otherwise been sitting out elections. I also see some "Reagan Democrat" appeal here.
Reagan had two landslides because he was able to bring working class Democrats into the GOP fold. Is there any real man out there that would vote for Hillary or Elizabeth Warren over a man like Ted Cruz in a general election?
Not many, I would reckon. No matter what political party they are affiliated with.
These words by Rush resonated with me as I was driving and listening, and I was hoping to find them in print. Rush mirrored my thoughts exactly.
Love Ted Cruz. Hate his Ivy League connection.
I have not been this excited about a Presidential candidate since November 13, 1979.
HOORAY Rush! (I didn’t hear the show)
HOORAY Ted!
No teleprompter? How he do dat? :-)
