Does a born-again holy roller possess the balls to actually resort to the USE of nuclear weapons? This is the weakness I perceive in Senator Cruz. I believe that his "religious values" trump his CIC values. I've yet to ever meet an OTT Christian zealot who would actually have the balls to go total war on an enemy. They are so often predisposition to turn the other cheek, or else offer a timid response to an enemy attack.

This is a bogus accusation. A Christian is to "turn the other cheek" when it comes to personal vengeance, but at the same time the New Testament upholds the God-given authority of the government to use deadly force in a just cause.

Yeah, and Mr. Evangelical Holy Roller, George W. Bush, used overwhelming force on a country that never attacked us - Iraq - while he spared the one most certainly behind the organizing and funding of, not only the attacks of September 11, 2001, but terrorism in general throughout the world - that country being Saudi Arabia.

Of course one would expect such from the Texas family dynasty whose roots are buried in Middle East Oil, while there noses are buried up the collective bung hole of the Saudi Royals.

Don’t brag to me of Evangelical Christian virtue - or have you forgotten Jimmuh Carter? Those who wear religion on their sleeves for public display - particularly leaders with their finger on the “nuclear triad,” and who make a show out of their religiosity in making policy decisions - scare me more than those with no religion at all: “Oh, God spoke to me today, and told me what course I should take this nation on” - as if the president is also a prophet to whom God personally directs. That kind of feigning “I’m King David” crapola turns me off faster than anything else. It did not help GW Bush - in fact just the opposite - and it will not help Ted Cruz.
