Singer-songwriter Michael Tait, the frontman for the Christian pop-rock band Newsboys, has officially endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for president, citing the GOP hopeful's principles, saying that, as an African-American, he supports him "100 percent."

Tait, who is an alumnus of Liberty University, told Fox News columnist Todd Starnes that when he saw the senator launch his campaign from the university in March of last year, that he saw Cruz's "drive" and 'hunger" for "solid principles."
"I saw him, his family, the way he talked to people in person. I saw his drive, his hunger for solid principles, solid ideas going forward in our country that, even as an African-American, if you want to get really technical about it, I support 100 percent," Tait told Starnes.
The "We Believe" singer said he has been following Cruz "for a while," adding that Cruz's message is one he's "used to" and one he "believes in." Tait also seemingly took an indirect shot at Republican candidate Donald Trump by saying that he believes it is Cruz's leadership that is "going to make this country great again."
Tait went on to share some advice for fellow Christians who will be entering the voting booth.
"People of faith should vote for a man they believe in," Tait said. "A man they feel can do the job, not falter, not say one thing before the election and do another whole thing after the election, a man that stands his ground, keeps his word, protects our freedom - that's who you should vote for."
HELP US TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK...YOU MAY NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
Ted Cruz 2016!!!!!!!
hope this gentleman has a large audience.
Yep, Glenn Beck is absolutely right to endorse and campaign for Ted Cruz. Indeed, his constant campaigning for Cruz both on his radio program (audience = millions), and on the Blaze, and Fox News, no doubt helped push Ted Cruz over the top in Iowa.
>> [Michael Tait] saw Cruz’s “drive” and ‘hunger” for “solid principles.”
Well said, Michael!
Ted Cruz knows who he is — and more importantly, he knows WHOSE he is.
It’s Ted’s steadfast faithfulness in Jesus CHRIST that guides him, every day, every step.
America has been waiting a LONG time for Godly leadership like Ted brings to the table. Pray for GOD’s continued blessings and favor on Ted Cruz!

So why the hell are you reposting this, because you cant say “I did a search”.
Does JimRob really need to put some of you back on ice again. Some of you are just abusing this site with this garbage.
“We Believe” is a powerful Newsboys song....they sing part of the Apostles’ Creed....check it out on YouTube sometime.
Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?
The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.
Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”
•Anyone born inside the United States *
•Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person’s status as a citizen of the tribe
•Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
•Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
•Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
•Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
•A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
* There is an exception in the law — the person must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.
Well that should give him 5 votes.
I checked and nothing came up, so I posted it.
“THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED! AND YOU POSTED A REPLY IN IT!”
DUDE, YOU GOT PWNED!
Still waiting for your answer on why you said John Roberts would be a great Supreme Court justice back in the day, but now turn around and say that everybody knew John Roberts couldn’t be trusted, and how dare Ted Cruz recommend him.
Can’t have it both ways. Admit your fault so we can move on to other things, like what a great candidate we have in Ted Cruz!
Excellent endorsement from a good guy.
There has been a lot of fun made of Glenn Beck by Trump supporters.
And Glenn is an easy target because he’s had a lot of problems. But he’s always been conservative and the people laughing at him may not realize that he is the third most popular radio host in the country, after Rush and Levin.
And the second most popular radio host is a strong supporter of Ted Cruz.
This is wonderful news! Thanks for sharing, GGG. :-)
“even as an African-American...”
Why can’t you just be an “American”? A
I ask that as a French-Basque-Spanish-American
Free Republic founder Jim Robinson thinks Ted Cruz is qualified.
As both a relatively smart man, and a long-time FReeper, I’ll side with him over you.
All very true...but none of them are working nearly as hard as Glenn Beck to help Ted Cruz win the nomination...non by far!
Unfortunately, it’s the age we live in.
