"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

CRUZ or LOSE!

It’s such a good segment. I watched it. Cruz is very comfortable, but what struck me is that he is so very quick on his feet. As always, he takes the complex (the global warming part of the discussion) and boils it down to a simple response that anyone can understand.

Ted Cruz is the man

He was greatly received when humbly firmly stating his position on controversial subjects.

It’s what JFK lacked in running as a catholic. The only way is to state ones personal beliefs and also state that the constitution demands and allows for personal convictions as well as democracy

One can be a baptist or catholic or Jew and still adhere to the constitution so a religious conservative CAN be in the White House and uphold the constitution

He did that

I love him but as he lacks a media type charisma he must stop pointing.

Go to cha school on the sly. Like plain should have gone to diction classes

This would be time very well spent

[be-baw]

He did fine considering that Seth Myers is a smug leftist condescending a$$hole

Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992. While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society's Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship. In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton). Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship, making him Princeton’s highest-ranked debater at the championship. Princeton's debate team later named their annual novice championship after Cruz.

With regard to debating, no one has better credentials than Cruz.

“After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.[6][39] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review”

He only got better with time.

[KC Burke]

I have a brilliant old buddy that despite placing in the top teams in National Collegiate debates and winning a speaker award ended up doing very little in life as far as I know.

The difference, I think, was recreational drug use.

“One can be a baptist or catholic or Jew and still adhere to the constitution”

What about Muslim? Lol

[Calpublican]

I believe our inept president was also an editor of the Law Review.

Found on the hypertext links in the article posted that there were videos on the page below.

Seth Meyers interviews Ted Cruz about global warming and gay marriage. That’s called an ‘away game.’

NO, he was President of the HLR. The President position is a popularity contest. The EDITOR position is for legal scholars. Obama never wrote a scholarly article in his life. He couldn’t even fake one

[Cboldt]

0bama wasn’t an editor, he was “president” of law review.

Alan Dershowitz comments on Cruz:

[Uncle Miltie]

GREAT appearance. No flubs. Funny. Nice. Reasonable. Extemporaneous. Perfect.

[CyberAnt]

And, what they left unsaid was that he was also a debater at Harvard; and a champion there too.

His Professor, Dershowitz (liberal), said Cruz was the most brilliant Constitutional scholar he had ever met.

I like Cruz’s personality just the way it is; a little irritated at the way things are - which fits nicely with how “mad as hell” I am.

[CyberAnt]

Yes; the editor who never wrote any reviews; at least that’s what I read.

Which should tell you he got the position because; just because. And not because he was a skilled or brilliant lawyer.

[knarf]

I just noticed that there is something "Texan" about his voice .... (Like I really know what "Texan" is ?? ) '''

not really a twang ... not really an accent ... but something in the pitch and his delivery

It's all a plus, IMO ... but just sayin'

There are some serious problems with today's Liberals and the phony story claiming Ted Cruz made a girl cry is just one of the symptoms. First, if Ted Cruz did make that girl cry, it is a logical fallacy to vote as appeal to emotion. In this case, it is Conservatives should not be voted for because when they talk little children cry; however, the girl wasn't frightened so even the logical fallacy of appeal to emotion is used falsely -- a falsehood built on a falsehood!

It just goes to show that when Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to the devil, he actually meant it. Devil worship or admiration is not a joke amongst today's Liberals, they actually create some bizarre counter reality in the hopes their lies will stick and they can keep their power to do even more awful damage.
