It seems to be the old GW Bush cheerleaders who push Cruz, and with good reason. His advisers are Bush and Clinton White House people...neocons.
[snip] The chairman of Cruz’s foreign policy team is
Chad Sweet. Chad Sweet is the Former Directorate of Operations for the CIA, the Former Chief of Staff for the Department of Homeland Security, and the Co-Founder and CEO of The Chertoff Group. Chad Sweet went into the world of big banking — from Investment Banker at Morgan Stanley to VP with Goldman Sachs. (The same post Mrs Heidi Cruz holds) He would then work for the Department of Homeland Security in the Bush Administration.
A key member of the Cruz foreign policy team would support dragnet surveillance of Americans given that one of the principals of the Chertoff Group is General Michael Hayden, director of the NSA until 2005.
Ted Cruz’s NeoCon inner circle includes, Cruz’s foreign policy advisor, James Woolsey, a player who would be drafted in the first round by any neocon fantasy team owner.
Woolsey was a national security specialist and former Director of the CIA under the Clinton administration.
Ted Cruz’s NeoCon inner circle includes his choice of Elliot Abrams to help craft his foreign policy. Like his colleagues on Cruz’s council, Abrams is a leader in the NeoCon world, and leader of what is perhaps the most powerful and pernicious group in the NeoCon network, the grand daddy of all the NeoCon GLOBALIST Organizations: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
While Cruz pooh poohs the idea that he has ties to the Council on Foreign Relations, just because his wife Heidi Cruz was a member and co-authored the Blue Print for the creation of the North American Union. Who does he select as his foreign policy adviser but the HEAD of the Council on Foreign Relations!

IOW, you don't like Cruz because he's pro-Israel.
By that definition almost all Fundamentalists/Evangelicals are "neocons."
Wow!
Thanks for doing all of this research.
So essentially, Ted Cruz is helping to advance one-worldism. That’s a real biblical positon.
Cruz team members are from Bush admin, we will get same mess.
Don’t forget the Romney staff (same diff, I know :).
Cruz, a member in good standing in the “Washington Cartel”... while pretending not to be.
OMG. Chad Sweet! The Chertoff Group is practically a criminal enterprise. They are the ones responsible for the body scanners and TSA contracts in our airports...and the ones lobbying now for MANDATORY use of them for passengers.
It's nice to see that other oldtime FReepers aren't fooled by Cruz. WTG AuntB
Even after Cruz worked in the GWB FL recount, GWB said he disliked Cruz. Who needs a shrub?
While Cruz pooh poohs the idea that he has ties to the Council on Foreign Relations, just because his wife Heidi Cruz was a member and co-authored the Blue Print for the creation of the North American UnionAKA Open borders.
Which might go back to her roots as 7th Day Adventist missionary.
A few more tidbits about 7th Day Adventists and their liberal politics:
Seventh Day Adventist Official StatementsThe Dangers of Climate Change
..."The world membership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church requests that the governments concerned take steps necessary to avert the danger": ...
..."The ecological crisis is rooted in humankind's greed and refusal to practice good and faithful stewardship within the divine boundaries of creation. "...
Ban on Sales of Assault Weapons to Civilians
..." In addition, with public safety and the value of human life in mind, the sale of automatic or semi-automatic assault weapons should be strictly controlled"...
Now I have some reasons to help explain my gut feeling.
Doesn't answer my Cruz Question, but it points to some possibilities.
Goldman Sachs. (The same post Mrs Heidi Cruz holds)>>>>
she did resign i beleive but this is bad news to me. these are the people (including Corzine) that caused the meltdown to take over lehman and stearns.
