Sen. Ted Cruz plans to announce Monday that he will run for president of the United States, accelerating his already rapid three-year rise from a tea party insurgent in Texas into a divisive political force in Washington.

I doubt that he will run as an independent.

What we really need is someone who actually believes what he says and doesn't just say stuff because people wanna hear it.

The RNC is the party with the best ideas and all we need is a good leader.

We got a lot of good stuff done in the 1980s.

Ted Cruz is the only candidate who can actually fill Ronald Reagan's shoes.

The RNC needs to get rid of that passive pile of crap Rinse Repeatus, or Price Reibus as I like to call him. That dope is worse than get jiggy wit it Michael “I’ve never met a RINO I do not like” Steele

I am going to send him $1000, and that's a big deal for me.

I sent some money to Fred Thompson at some point in time. It was only $100, but I sincerely regret it.

Hopefully Ted Cruz is no Fred Thompson.

If you have to ask the question, you have no idea what you are asking.

An answer like that implies you don’t know.

I see no parallel between Cruz and Thompson when it comes to the issues.

Cruz is this generation’s Reagan, whom this country desperately needs to reverse course from the dangerous course set by the modern-day (but far worse) Carter. In view of the size of the potential Republican field, if we conservatives un=eite behind him solidly and quickly, he has a real chance to win.
