Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is infusing his closing argument to Iowans with Biblical references as his campaign visits some of the state's conservative strongholds.

Cruz has made courting Iowa's evangelical Christians a cornerstone of his campaign and he has long tapped the Bible in his stump speech.

I only posted this because Drudge has it up:

CRUZ: 'AWAKEN THE BODY OF CHRIST!'

He throwing the crowd some red meat.

[Captain Peter Blood]

When there is that much religion involved in politics I avoid at all costs.

Cruz sounds like he trying to be anointed as the second coming.

Oy vey.....

Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, regardless of whether one is a Christian or not
(I am a conservative Catholic Conservative): this is a key reason, in my opinion, that he
cannot win a national election.

There is a pic floating around of him and his wife as that duo of Tammy Faye Baker and her husband. I immediately thought of them when I saw this on Drudge.

A lil pandering isn’t going to hurt. Why, trump has said he loves his 2 Corinthians and reads his Bible parchments before any of his Art of the Deal chapters on kindle.

That is truly Elmer Gantry creepy.

[Bratch]

[Hugin]

No just a “king”.

[Califreak]

First thing I thought of was Peter Popoff.

I still haven’t figured out whether that creepy wife eyes ad was some kind of photoshop or if that was the real deal.

It is the one where she asks for donations.

Jindal was our guy, but Ted’s got the right idea; we will vote for him.

Without the Body of Christ, there is nothing; he is correct!

By the way, today in the Catholic Church, one of the Readings was from First Corinthians 13:4-13

Brothers and sisters:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It is not jealous, it is not pompous,
it is not inflated, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests,
it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.
If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing;
if tongues, they will cease;
if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child,
think as a child, reason as a child;
when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
but then face to face.
At present I know partially;
then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
So faith, hope, love remain, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.

Perhaps after tomorrow, he should consider an alternative vocation.

[Psalm 144]

“That is truly Elmer Gantry creepy.”

Looks more like the Wicked Witch of the West melting.

[Psalm 144]

I should have read this before posting. Same impression.

I think it is the nose and the hubris.

[Just mythoughts]

Supposedly, his father, a priest has already anointed him a king to go into the marketplace to bring in the revenue for the priest body. I am NOT joking.

There is a youtube video of the ceremony, anointing the members of the church to fulfill this duty.
