Ted Cruz just released a powerful new video called “2015: A Year Fighting for Freedom, Texas, and America†that details how he’s fought this year against the Republican Establishment, Planned Parenthood, the Iran deal, and more.
My post from 2008 (excerpt)
I have always been a person who has looked at the glass as being half full, I have taken heart in our small victory’s of revealing political malfeasance in office only to see them remain in power. I have seen the people we have elected and believed in, go to Washington and become nothing more than washed out shell of why we elected them.. I have been naive in believing that our country would always be on the side of right and our that our Constitution would never be abridged. I, naively, believed that if we were on the edge of destruction, true patriots would emerge and fight back and save our nation. I have seen none, they are not there, all we have are politicians with their main goal is self, clutching to their power as a child would of his security blanket.
We may want Trump...we NEED Cruz.
It looks like this election is coming down to a two man fight against the beltway establishment, against Hillary Clinton's criminal enterprise and against the party they are attempting to represent by holding it accountable.
I love it. That was wonderful. I would probably change the ending if it were me. It is a bad order to say that right after the wonderfully strong statements about terrorism. It is a good statement that applies and I am sure people will get it. I’m just me, I would have tweaked that a little.
Rather than question Ted Cruz, I question why anyone is offended by what he stands for.

You and me both!
That’s a pretty good video. I hope it gets a lot of air time.
Ted was fighting when Trump was just a twinkle in the
eye of Democrats with outstretched hands.
[true patriots would emerge and fight back and save our nation. I have seen none, they are not there]
I think you may be referring that part, if it is, I can understand.
Things HAVE changed because we have two that are true patriots fighting for our country.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think makes Trump a patriot?

You are math-skills impaired.
No that’s not it. It was something like, “You can’t win every fight...etc”
AMEN!
I still don’t get it that some people say that he has no charisma. Well, if you are looking for the adoring crowds that don’t listen to what you say, swoon over your every word you do say, and are robotic low-information crowds, then you’re on the wrong side. The democrats, according to the media have all the charisma, and the republicans hate everybody.
Bill Clinton had “charisma” and look what we got from that. Charisma is mostly someone who knows how to fool the masses. Let’s be honest...the best examples are the TV goons who take money from the masses because they have smooth-sounding words that mean nothing, other than to line their own pockets with loads of cash. I’ll take honesty, standing on principle, being willing to do the hard things....like Ted Cruz, any day of the week. That is charisma to me. Someone who gives me hope.
I agree. Calvin Coolidge was possibly the least charismatic man on earth. He was also one of the best presidents in this nation’s history. He stood on principle. He was the last president to hit the conservative trifecta. Before he left office he was able to lower taxes, reduce the size of government and reduce the national debt.
Cruz is as close Cal as we can get.
Man, I love this man.
Me too, CRUZ 2016!
