Cruz Supporters Planning to Launch ‘Ted Cruz Air Force’
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | April 25, 2015 | Justin Haskins

Posted on 04/25/2015 2:12:59 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

A group of zealous supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz’ (R-TX) 2016 presidential run is planning to launch a ‘Ted Cruz Air Force’ (TCAF) in the coming months prior to the Republican primaries that begin in less than a year.

According to TCAF, “Ted Cruz clearly has the support of the grassroots. He will also have air support.”

TCAF says its most prominent air feature will be the “Ted Cruz Blimp,” but it also plans on recruiting “antique aircraft, towed aerial banners, light sport aircraft … [and] parachutes.”

Member of TCAF Jerry Collette says he’s going to do everything he can to help Cruz win the GOP nomination.

“I support Ted Cruz because, like Ron Paul before him, Ted Cruz stands on principle, even if people on both sides of the aisle oppose him for doing so,” said Collette....

...legal immigration is WAY down the list when babies are being killed daily, and 2nd amendment rights are being ignored.

Amnesty is #1 priority. Period!

If amnesty is not stopped, leftists will have a voting majority with the 40 MILLION ILLEGALS IN AMERICA.

FOREVER.

At that point, ALL other conservative issues become unattainable.

FOREVER.

Legal immigration is important to you.

Over 30 states have Voter ID laws that are in effect right now. Not struck down. What you are presenting is over-the-top echo chamber noise.

Reality is a little different.

Focusing on marginal issues and splitting conservatives won't even be the end, forever in all caps. Which is what the over the top crowd does.

There is an issue there, it doesn't need over-the-top rhetoric.

Sorry, I forgot voter ID laws are ALWAYS followed - silly me.

And, the new 40 MILLION ILLEGALS getting amnesty “could” vote for conservatives and not the give-a-way leftist party.

Good grief, if you can’t see the coming leftwing voting majority that will extend into perpetuity, then you’re not paying attention. Amnesty is a voter registration program for new leftwing socialists.

So go ahead and stick your head in the sand and ignore the #1 immediate threat to our Constitutional Republic.

...or maybe you’re just another worshipper of Saint Obamatollah.

Can you site any source that shows Ron Paul supporters are backing Cruz? I would love to see it, it would make my day.

No. You are over the top on a marginal issue, and have conceded to the left before the battle actually has begun.

Voter ID laws are used and do stop some unlawful voting.

I'm not sticking my head in the sand. I'm just not over-the-top crying wolf over an issue that is down on the list of most voters.

I'll keep sending my money and my time to Cruz. I don't do that for politicians generally, but Cruz rates it this time.

And I'll keep working all the problems instead of splitting the Conservatives by focusing on a marginal issue for most.

Amnesty is illegal immigration. You are conflating illegal and legal immigration.

This is how you try to split conservatives and ensure the media and the GOP-E pick the nominee.

I'm sending money to Cruz now so that the media doesn't get to choose the nominee.

Sorry, I was speaking hypothetically. There was that one article back when Cruz announced that discussed a Rand Paul supporter who decided he was for Cruz, but I don’t recall the name or the source. :/

I wonder if that was part of the plan between Paul and Cruz. In other words, play the way the Rhino and Dems play with eachother against Conservatives.

Then you are weak minded to all of the sudden flip on Ted...or consider it without asking WHY Walker has suddenly CHANGED on immigration.

“Amnesty” becomes “Legal Immigration” and 40 MILLION new leftist voters.

Good grief, get a clue!

Right now, Amnesty is illegal and there is a 5th circuit injuction on it.

Facts matter.

You have already given up. That I can see. It's a shame you seem to be trying to divide conservatives with a false narrative.

Just because you think it may become real doesn't mean anything until it does become real.

I'll focus on what really matters to the conservative voter, and keep sending my money and my time to the candidate that I want to win the primary.

“If Beck is backing Walker, that is a good reason to be wary of Walker.”

That’s what I call rational thinking.

Beck did NOT support Huntsman, and he opposed Romney until his nomination was secure. He supported Santorum. Please don’t spread untruths.

Careful, it sounds like you might be among those good conservatives who risk falling for the propaganda of the establishment.

This issue of legal immigration is phony, made up by the permanent political class who are terrified that a President Cruz will enforce the Constitution.

Beck DID ask Walker what flipped him, and his answer was plausible. I still support Ted, and I have donated to him. His bumper sticker has been on my car for over two years. But honestly I was put off by his attack on Walker for saying something that I think is perfectly logical to connect with hurting Americans. Bob

Yeah, until you consider that most of them are coming from areas, the Mideast, China and Africa, where there is NO understanding of Constitutional principles and no tradition of individual sovereignty. Bob
