As Robert Palmer said, a pretty face don’t make no pretty heart.

Hey Olivia, thanks so much for including your negative, sniping, bitchy spin on Cruz’s actual words! Couldn’t do without that! But we’re well-versed these days in pulling out the facts from the maelstrom of spin . . . and so I see two things from your “reporting.” One, Cruz gave a helluva speech at CPAC and the crowd ate it up. And two — Cruz scares the waddin’ out of you, doesn’t he?

Enjoy 2016. I think I will!

[JennysCool]

The pace and energy of his speech has picked up so much, in fact, that it sounds as though he could start talking in tongues at any second.

Whether it's Walker or Cruz, the libs have gone completely nuts.

Someone else once said, "Pretty is sometimes like the bottom of a birdcage." The argument being that people who have the advantage of good looks can get sloppy and morally indolent in other areas.

And .. at least Ted doesn’t stand behind the podium and stare at teleprompters to make sure he says the right things .. like somebody else I could mention (POTUS).

What Ted says, as he’s walking around, is coming right from his heart and it does not have to be written on teleprompters to be sure he gets all the items from Valerie Jarrett correctly.

Never trust anything from the Daily Beast to be fair or impartial .. they don’t know how.

[SierraWasp]

This is all pretty terrific, but I still remember how I've felt after the last half dozen annual CPAC straw polls and how it looks like nothin but a bunch of Rand Paul, or Ron Paul clones casting votes for themselves instead of a real cross section of constitutional conservatives rather than just a bunch of crazed Liberaltarians!!!

However, I would feel much worse if the establishment RINOs were to be winning lopsided victories and providing the same discoloration of the results.

There! Now I've pist off everybody equally. Ain't equality marvelous? (/s)

[CitizenUSA]

First off, I don’t think her face is all that pretty to start with. Secondly, you’re absolutely right. The snark positively oozed out of that “news” report. This is where the media is today in the US of A.

[[Ted Cruz is onstage at CPAC.]]

Swell, is he standing up there telling the crowd he will put a stop to the nonsense called ‘climate change regulations’ because man is only responsible for 0.0015% of ALL atmospheric CO2 (which is only 0.04% of the atmosphere)?

Is he telling folsk that he WILL repeal the unconstitutional HC law?

Is he telling folks he WILL put an end to the ILLEGAL power grab by the FCC which is NOT authorized to do so and which has violated the constitution?

I asked him/his office/staff or whatever for their stance on global warming being man made- and gave him the relevant figures and asked how man could possibly be responsible given that we produce nearly ZERO % CO2 In the atmosphere- and all I heard back was, in e3ssence, that he is for ‘responsible climate change regulations”

[twister881]

When you’re Satan’s mouthpiece, listening to Ted Cruz tell the truth is like being doused with Holy Water.

[2ndDivisionVet]

How did Scott Walker, Rand Paul and Jeb Bush’s people answer your questions?

[Bob434]

They didn’t even bother sending a reply- even a canned reply like ted cruz’s office did

I emailed EVERY GOP senator I could- ONLY ted’s office bothered sending a reply

I wanna vote for Ted- but his response to climate change has me wondering if he isn’t agreeing with the charlatans that man ‘is to blame’?

Cruz to CNN: Global warming not supported by data
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/02/20/cruz-to-cnn-global-warming-not-supported-by-data/

Ted Cruz supports expanded drilling and opposes cap-and-trade legislation and EPA regulation of greenhouse gases. In July of 2011, SG Cruz was interviewed by Conservatives in Action and noted his role in representing multiple entities in challenging the moratorium on offshore drilling in the wake of the BP oilspill.

In September of 2011, SG Cruz came out with a 12 point plan for the economy. Three of those points were related to energy and the environment. The details of those three points were that Mr Cruz opposed a cap-and-trade system, opposed the off-shore drilling moratorium, and opposed EPA regulation of carbon dioxide as an environmental hazard.

Cruz signed the No Climate Tax Pledge, which stated, “I pledge to the taxpayers of my state, and to the American people, that I will oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue.” This pledge is based on the belief that less government interference is better for the American people.

“More than any other likely Republican presidential candidate, Cruz is a salesman. “

She is just bitter that she was sold “ism” and now she does everything to justify her bad buying choice....

The only thing Cruz is selling is freedom, I feel Cruz wouldn’t mind if Mike Lee was elected president and he himself quit politics forever.

This is case of Progressive Personality Projection by the Author.

[GraceG]

Just the tone of this article betrays the petty bitchy narcissistic personality underneath that wrote it.

[ What Ted says, as he’s walking around, is coming right from his heart and it does not have to be written on teleprompters to be sure he gets all the items from Valerie Jarrett correctly. ]

That is because Ted Cruz Says what he BELIEVES TO HIS CORE! Ted’s ideals are Literally ingrained into HIS VERY SOUL!

Anything that Spews out of Obama’s Mouth is a carefully scripted “means to power” speech and talking points that always have to be updated constantly by himself and his handlers.

This is precisely WHY Obama can so easily contradict himself when you take two Obama statements on the SAME subject with only a few years between them!!!

AND JEB BUSH HAS THE EXACT SAME DISEASE!!!!!

Jeb Bush’s statements, positions, and pandering to illegal aliens, crony business, and foreign interests, and the “mushy” middle are nothing more than another Cynical “Means to Power” for this establishment type.

Jeb is Just another Obama in a Bush Family Mantle.

Shouldn’t they change the name from the “Daily Beast” to the “Daily Bitch”? And who “let the dogs in” anyway?

"His voice booms throughout the ballroom—speeding up, slowing down, soaring and winding down to a faux-whisper at carefully chosen intervals, like a televangelist or someone trying to sell you a set of steak knives and a Bedazzler at 3 a.m. on an infomercial."

The left is worried, very, very worried. It's no wonder. I saw the Hannity interview last night. Cruz was ON FIRE. He even spoke of "a shining city on a hill" The left is very, very worried.

“Hannity and Cruz now engage in verbal masturbation”...
Filthy little girl, now aren’t we?

[CyberAnt]

I’m totally against Jeb Bush. I’m still a real fan of GW, but I saw him change over the years (partially because of his liberal wife). I knew it was going to be difficult for him to stay on the conservative path after I heard him say that his wife chastened him for declaring, “...dead or alive ...” statement.

Laura is a lovely person .. but she’s a liberal; is pro-choice. She actually stole our warrior from us.

Therefore, I’m looking for a warrior who will not be influenced by a liberal wife. I’m hoping, at this point, that’s who Ted Cruz and Scott Walker really are.
