Yeah, that's why they are all acting like civilians caught in an air raid, right? At least they're putting up a brave front and trying to spin it as good news for them. And asking a John Edwards staffer? That's the best they could do?

Outpouring, yes. Thrill and excitement of the bring-it-on bravado? Not even hardly. They need to go change their underwear if you ask me.

I wish someone could give me an example of an extreme right wing political viewpoint.

Global warming skeptic? Most people are.

Supports second amendment? Most people do.

Against amnesty? Most people are.

Against Obamacare? Most people are.

Abolish IRS? Oh please, I can hear the hurrahs before they are even shouted.

So, lefties, please tell me how Ted Cruz is an extremist and out of sync with the american people.

Look at the energy they are putting into this news of Ted Cruz. At core, they are scared to death that the electorate will abandon them as the frauds they are.

I am still marveling at the candor and transparency of Ted Cruz’ speech today at Liberty University. He opened his whole life for everyone to see.

Then I think of the hidden parts of Obama’s life, how he has sealed vast swaths of his entire development.

Ted Cruz has let everyone directly know just who he is and where he comes from.

In contrast, no one knows directly who Obama is or where he came from. Indirectly we know him by his fruits and actions.

To them, he is extreme because he is extremely counter to their view.

He wants the country to be something it’s not and hasn’t been for 20 or 30 years. It’s more diverse and not as conservative on social issues.”

Don’t you just love these words? Golly, it isn’t like obama didn’t want to be something it never was - oh, you know, like communistic. They think the country isn’t as conservative on social issues - these people are living in a bubble and don’t speak for the majority of us in flyover country. They are so out of touch - and hypocritical.

Yeah I would Love for Cruz to win the nomination. Even if he loses, I would rather have someone lose the national election having Stood up for the Constitution. Lets have the national vote between Constitutionalism and Radical Communism.

“...like civilians in an air raid”

The Fox pundits are doing that. Gutfeld is the worst. completely unreasonable, taking his cues from the bushbot perino.

I cancelled my dvr of the series immediately.

On Red Eye, they have a pitifully lame parody montage from where there is no where to go. The guests won’t opine until one comes out and says Cruz is ok, then the others say, yeah, that’s right, he -he’s ok.

It is going to be a long year and a half for them, especially if they’ve chosen sides.

If he pulls it off and then retires from being POTUS and returns to being a normal citizen, he will not be able to walk into a bar or restaurant without someone wanting to buy him a beer, and I am not sure he even drinks!

I would give the fox news people some rope here. It’s way too early in the game. I ask myself why they would be coming out this early distancing themselves from this candidate.

The best case answer is because they don’t want to apply a ‘fox news’ brand to him. This would mean that cruz has learned how to manipulate the predictable leftists opposition.

The worst case answer is that fox news does not favor a highly educated, articulate, minority constitutionalist candidate.

Why would I believe that?

Some republicans cheered zer0’s run. I’m so glad they are cheering Cruz. Perhaps they can, in those states that allow anyone to vote in the republican primaries, push Cruz over the top?
Looking forward to that.

“I would give the fox news people some rope here.”

WEll, I would watch the segment before criticizing those who have a big problem with it.

Rope? Gutfeld AND Bolling both declared themselves against Cruz, and neither with any reasonable argument.

There is not enough rope anyone could five them Imus is in the same boat, and he’s been quiet over the past week on Cruz.

No way any of them from what they’ve said, can come out in the next year and a half FOR Cruz after what they’ve said, without declaring that they’ve had a turn around.

So get off my case and watch the segment
