hi LITTLE GIRL : )
It means, everyone should be expressing surprise at how popular iCarly is here on FR, considering how she's been continually excoriated.
It wasn’t I that questioned Cruz’s Conservative credentials here.
Was it?
Cantor lost on the immigration issue because everyone knows you need a visa to visit many parts of Northern Virginia, and folks got tired of the status quo (and Cantor's stance on immigration wasn't terrible-- but it didn't translate into intentional steps).
So when I say he has a track record, I'm not making the shit up. He has been followed well before this campaign, and it is discouraging to see that his efforts are not acknowledged. He is the only conservative in the race.
Using the biblical principle of a man's "conversation about him," Ted is a known quantity and quality. It's not a mystery what he is about.
Filing bills and getting enough people to actually pass a bill to support it are two different things.
Filling bills that go nowhere is not accomplishment.
Speeches are just talk. Not actions.
I keep hearing that and I voted for him in 2012. Besides the amusing and ineffective filibuster, what great and conservative things has Cruz actually accomplished in the Senate? I guess you think he hired Neil Bush and will meet with Kasich, Rubio and JEB! as a protest against the GOPe? Bush is Bush/GOPe and has been for almost 2 decades.
Carly makes no difference whatsoever.
However, Rush let the cat out of the bag this morning regarding Cruz’ sure-fire strategy that he had planned out for winning the presidency.
Apparently, Cruz had lunch with Rush a couple two or three years ago where Cruz explained his plan. He figured that Romney lost in 2012 because five to six million evangelicals stayed home. So, Cruz figures he already has the conservative vote naturally locked-in, and can take the tea party and non-establishment vote, and the rest of the Republicans (even the establishment) have nowhere else to go, so all he has to do to win it is snare the evangelicals. Thus he comes out with a campaign custom tailored to woo and win the evangelical vote.
And it may have worked like a charm had Trump not exploded on the scene with a bold plan to build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all, secure the nation, Repeal Obamacare, straighten out the trade deals that have devastated our manufacturing industry and jobs, cut taxes with a Reaganesque tax plan, rebuild the economy, bring manufacturing, capital and jobs back, rebuild the military and make America great again. And as a last minute bonus, Trump throws in slapping a moratorium on Muslim immigration.
Surprise! It caught on like wildfire. But Cruz was not concerned. He continued on nonchalantly, smug in the knowledge that the evangelicals would never support Trump and that his plan was sure to lock them in. All Cruz had to do was lay low and wait for Trump to implode.
But something went wrong. Evangelicals (and other demographic groups you might think would never support a guy like Trump) are flocking to Trump like crazy. Cruz can’t figure it out. The consultants can’t figure it out. The media, the pundits, the democrats, the establishment—no one can figure it out.
Rush explains that like all demographic groups, evangelicals are not monolithic single issue voters. Not even on abortion.
It turns out that evangelicals are also concerned about securing the borders, rebuilding the economy, bringing back manufacturing and jobs, cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting government, building a strong military and (not surprisingly) taking a tough stand against Muslims who are chopping the heads off Christians.
Rush may not have directly said it, built I believe he may be thinking that Cruz blew it trying such a narrowly focused campaign.
his record on before the USSC is as soliciter general. It was 5-4. He never submitted anything in the form of an amicus brief on the homosexual based marriage.
Anyone that posts that on THIS site is got to be a paid Democrat Troll. Seriously. I’ll let others ping the boss but really? Who fought the system the last few years over budget and guns and freedom of speech? Hello? How pathetic.
And anyone who supports Pastor Rafael while he parrots Bishop Romney’s viscious lies and brings a Bush onto his team is a Cruzy drinking the Kruz-Aid. You’re good with name calling. Others can do it too. Knock it off.
Agreed! I would like to see her as Sec of State.
He does not have a 9-0 record on before the Supreme Court.

You sleep well knowing that While Ted Cruz was fighting to uphold YOUR constitutional Rights, Donald J. Trump was financially and personally supporting the enemy and their Agenda (AWB-in one instance)in that fight.
Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi.
So you put any spin on anything you claim but those are the FACTS you can NOT dispute.
Pot, meet kettle!

Hey, works for me.
My selection come our primary time is whomever the GOPe/TPTB/Elites are hating on the hardest.
Dave Brat’s primary victory over Eric Cantor killed the Gang of 8 abomination, not Ted.
“The same Ted Cruz who cut a deal with McConnell to sell out conservative primary candidates in order to get a pat on the head to run for President along with Rand Paul.
The same Cruz who co-authored the article with Paul Ryan to support TPA and supported the amendment in the Senate that added the TPA legislation to a house bill.
The same Ted Cruz who voted for Closure on the Corker amendment giving Obama authority to enact the Iranian deal giving away Congresses authority to review such treaties.
The same Cruz who opposed the gang of eight legislation in the Senate but it passed the Senate anyway. Only Dave Brat’s defeat of Cantor stopped the bill from becoming law. The person who fought the legislation the hardest in the Senate, Jeff Sessions, endorsed Trump.”
Oh yeah? Well OK, if you insist on being FACTUAL about it.
How can you say they hate him when they work on his campaign?! Neil Bush is Jeb’s brother and a part of the Bush dynasty and by being part of Cruz campaign you think they hate him by supporting him???
You would be beside yourself if this were Trump claiming to be an outsider but having the Bush family support him. BTW you do know Cruz has worked in the Bush realm most of his career?
