Last year, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) stood front and center in the battle against President Barack Obama’s health care program, leading an effort that shut down the government because the budget bill did not include a provision to defund the president’s plan.

This year, Cruz was the lead crusader against the spending bill again, this time because it did not include a challenge to Obama’s executive action on immigration, which could shield an estimated 5 million people who entered the country illegally from deportation for about three years....

Large and in charge: President Cruz!

We’re taxed enough already, but the Democrats want to waste even more and the GOP isn’t acting ready to lead.

So one more time: this Free Republic “racist caveman” is down for Rafael Edward Cruz and Sarah Palin!

[TribalPrincess2U]

He needs to be more precise! I say torture the bastards!

An eye for an eye!

[TribalPrincess2U]

AT LEAST make them think that.

[Mariner]

Hey Ted!

I have $500 with your name on it.

There's a million more like me.

[Mariner]

“definitively that the United States doesn’t support torture, that we’re better than that”

I assure you Dick Cheney and every CIA director said the same thing. And would say it again.

IMO Ted Cruz will be a runaway winner in GOP primaries if....
the votes are divided between him and Walker, Jindal, Pence, Kasich, Huckabee and Rand.

Cruz versus Jeb Bush, one on one, Cruz wins.
Cruz versus Jeb + Mitt, Cruz wins in a landslide.

Cruz+Walker+Pence+Jindal+whoever versus Jeb Bush, Jeb wins.

[LYDIAONTARIO]

He gets my vote too!!

[MaxMax]

I don't understand where you get the "Jeb Wins" interpretation. Jeb couldn't
beat Romney if Romney was a deaf mute. And it looks like Cruz will be unstoppable.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Paladin2]

Forget 2016.

DO

SOMETHING

NOW!

You can always play Kick the Can later.

[Paladin2]

Define torture....

[House Atreides]

Ted Cruz is the LIVING EMBODIMENT of the RULING ELITE’S WORST NIGHTMARE — A MAN OF PRINCIPLE WHO CAN NOT BE CORRUPTED.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Avid fan? Yeah. Count me in.

[rfreedom4u]

If he makes GOP “leaders” angry that is a plus.

As of right now he is my favorite for 2016 if he runs.

[Eva]

Angry GOP leaders? Where? Show me the GOP leaders. You can’t be a leader if no one is following.

[Fresh Wind]

There's a million more like me.

I'm one of them. The big money donors can go try to buy Jeb's way into the White House, but we will take care of Ted.

[DoodleDawg]

Draft Ted Cruz for President.

We don't need to draft him. He's already running.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Yeah

[apostoli]

Agreed. Me3. We need to have a ongoing FR article building the Cruzzzzz momentum with $500 checks sitting in the wings.

Get us a few thousand of those, maybe even that million, and ByeBye GOPe and their ‘big’ contributor(s).

we WILL get Ted over the finish line. FUGOPe

[SgtHooper]

Gotta love this guy! Go Ted!!
