HOUSTON, Texas – Today, Congressman Tom McClintock of California endorsed Ted Cruz for President. McClintock has spent his time in Congress fighting for conservative principles like working to limit the size of the federal government, reign in Obama’s lawlessness, repealing Obamacare and protecting the Constitution.

“This election is too important to leave to chance,” said Rep. McClintock. “Ted Cruz is the only top tier candidate we can be absolutely certain will govern conservatively and constitutionally; who will stand his ground no matter what the pressure and articulate our positions boldly and convincingly to the American people. (snip)"

“Tom is an unwavering leader in working to reduce government spending, reign in our debt and work for conservative reforms,” said Cruz. “He has consistently fought against the Washington Cartel. (snip)"

Nice. Thanks for posting. Have any real conservatives endorsed Trump?

Good...

“every little bit of support to Cruz is helpful to the cause of conservatism”

You bet!

As Rep. McClintock said: “This election is too important to leave to chance”

- let’s vote for the candidate with a PROVEN record of standing up for conservative values. We’ve been fooled too many time before (even with a few Tea Party candidates).

I’m proud to say that even though I’m not from CA, I supported McClintock, and NOT the celebrity. Arnold turned out to be a disaster. I was right then and I’m right now.

Another GOPe steps forward.

No, McClintock is been on the outside of the elitist as far as I can remember going back to when he represented 1000 Oaks in the 70's.

I lived there when he was elected, unless he's done something I haven't heard about, he's as solid as it gets.

Don't tell humblegunner.. he's got a thing about endorsements.

I have curiosity about why folks want to kiss the butts of folks who do nothing more than agree with them.

And Mr. Dog.. you are welcome to address me directly in the future if you have something to say.

[Angels27]

I doesn’t matter at this point. Most GOP voters, including those here FR, are all in for the NY Liberal.

We’ll see how much they all love Trump when appoints a couple of Liberals to the SCOTUS.

Hopefully Ted Cruz pulls off a miracle comeback.

Why don't you knock off the snide crap and ask the owner of this site?

How about you Trump supporters first.

Ron, have you taken ANY of your fellow Trump supporters to task for the lies, half-truths, and unsubstantiated innuendos that they are throwing at Cruz?? Any of them?

Get a clue n00b, and you might want to create a home page.....then you can take up your dissatisfaction with FR and its posters with the owner of the site.

Freaking trolls...go back to kos or du or wherever you came from.

"Care to prove that accusation? "

He voted for the latest Continuing Resolution.

He voted for TPA.

He voted for Paul Ryan as speaker.

[SoConPubbie]

I just had a conversation with Paul Ryan and I’ll tell you what I told him privately. It’s easy for me. It’s not my family life on the line. It’s not my political career on the line. It’s not my life on the line. But there are times where history doesn’t offer us a choice. Sometimes history commands and we must obey - and that is screaming right now at this situation and Paul Ryan. I think he’s the only person who can provide the leadership that is necessary to restore the unity in the conference and the direction of the Congress according to the principles the people entrusted us with when they gave us the majority

I would agree that Tom was incorrect on that one.

Now, try and find anything else.

Trump supports single-payer, touch-back amnesty, is only partially pro-life, and believes that Gay Marriage is settled law now and apparently does not feel the need to keep fighting against that issue, not that he ever really did.

So please, let's stack Trump's policy position record up against Tom McClintock.

Hand's down, Tom makes Trump look like Hillary.

-- I have curiosity about why folks want to kiss the butts of folks who do nothing more than agree with them. --

It's the "sheep gene." Most people want to be told what to think, and endorsements are persausive to them. It's one of those irrational "human things" that everybody denies committing.

[Angels27]

“go back to kos or du or wherever you came from.”

Maybe you should go back to Kos or DU if you are supporting a guy that donated to Hillary Clintons senate campaigns.

[SoConPubbie]

And I would still stack his record of policy positions and actions up against Trump ANYDAY and he totally outshines Trump with respect to being a conservative.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Read my history, I’ve supported Trump and Cruz when I could.

I’m here to support the destruction of the DC cabal, I don’t care who does it whether it be Trump or Cruz.

I get sick of the zealots on both sides who have nothing better to do then deride the other guy rather then have discussions.

You know the type.....

[Las Vegas Ron]

Bite me troll

[Las Vegas Ron]

BTW, direct your trolldom to the owner, haven’t seen the kitteh’s in while.....sure you’ll enjoy meeting them.

"And I would still stack his record of policy positions and actions up against Trump ANYDAY and he totally outshines Trump with respect to being a conservative."

I agree. Mostly because Trump is not and has never been a (C)onservative.

Conservative Orthodoxy, overseas wars when no critical US interest is at stake, FREE trade with mercantilists, Open Borders and Cultural Invasion is now totally discredited.

Conservative is being redefined.

[Angels27]

“BTW, direct your trolldom to the owner”

Why would I do that? I support free speech. You free to support Trump and oppose Cruz. I’m free to support Cruz and oppose Trump. It’s very constitutional.
