The viciousness of this piece simply illustrates how very frightened they are.

I'm a bit unsure about Ted Cruz (and to those who will jump on me, note that I'm saying "I'm unsure" -- meaning "if you know better, correct me and I'm open to listening")
Why? Perhaps it is better for a person who has run a state to be in line for President. Perhaps the ideal would be a candidate who had improved their state as governor and who also had national exposure (Senator/Congressman).
That being said, Ted Cruz has way more experience than BO

Cruz isnt [just] running for presidenthes running to be the leader of a new GOP. And thats no lie. Let's hope so!
Journolistas like this one remind me of what Reagan said - "Leftists know so much...that isn't true."

This is what Stephen Colbert called truthiness.

Pretty hard to argue with an article that quotes the likes of Colbert.

“Why? Perhaps it is better for a person who has run a state to be in line for President.”
I agree. You don’t hire somebody to be CEO of a huge company unless they’ve cut their teeth on a smaller one and proven themselves. (I don’t. But Boards do it all the time. I try not to buy stock in those companies.) I think Cruz would make a good VP. Maybe that’s his real goal.
To: Cronos
Not only does Cruz have executive experience, he has the correct strategic vision - the latter being faaaaarrrr more important than running a state to becoming a successful President and saving America & the Constitution.

Heh. Her previous article was on the political ramifications of Jon Stewart's replacement.
“Sophia - turn off that comedian - you have a deadline to meet!”
“Mom - I'm doing RESEARCH” she yelled up from the basement.

I got bored with this column quickly. Did it ever actually mention any of the so-called lies?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance to write an entire piece accusing someone of lying without giving ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE to bolster your case.
Shouldn’t it be easy to list ONE LIE that the lying liar said?
After all, we have videos of Obama telling the same lies over and over.

Ah, this was written by a Professor, not some garden variety blogger.
The word of a Professor carries much more weight.
I’m done with Cruz, I just hope Bernie Sanders runs.

Perhaps. Although he did improve Texas and many other states winning cases at the Supreme Court. As one of the top Attorney Generals he also had all sorts of people working for him (so the “executive experience” of people management.

Oh, and I believe the cases are brought up based on citizen's complaints. So - he has DIRECT experience of listening to the people, and addressing their problems do get them right. That would sure be a nice change of pace to have in the Whitehouse.

I don't know too many governors who would be good presidents. Scott Walker— maybe ok. But how about Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or John Kasich? How many one time governors other than President Reagan were good presidents?
In my own state — looking at both Democrat and Republican governors -’ I would want any of them as president. Most of them are/were career politicians who never had to really work for a paycheck or if they did, they've been in politics for so long, they have forgotten how.
