Sen. Ted Cruz opened the first major campaign of the 2016 presidential season Monday with a kickoff speech courting cultural conservatives and declaring that he will devote himself to "reigniting the promise of America."
One of several Republican hopefuls to rise from the tea party movement, Cruz spoke at Liberty University, the college founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, hours after a wee-hours tweet announcing his White House bid. The choice of the college founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell was meant as marker against potential rivals who are also counting on Christian conservatives to fuel their candidacies.

I posted this not because we needed another Ted Cruz announcement story, but because of Drudge's cool graphic in the link to the story!

The Leftist press was amazed he could give a 2 hour tailored speech without a teleprompter.

"The leftists sure don’t waste any time hammering home their talking points, do they?" Politico put out a tweet this morning to say that Cruz's father fought with Castro in Cuba.

Sell your Teleprompter stock.
Cruz can actually speak extemporaneously and make sense.
And it is a pleasure to hear someone speak without the sophmoric “Obama” pauses.

Sure.
And already there is one thread so far today here at FR questioning the citizenship of Cruz.
It’s gonna be a long campaign. Expect daily does of anti-Cruz agitprop.

- He's married
- To a member of the opposite sex!
- They didn't abort their children
- And just look at the flags those beautiful little girls are waving!!!

Here’s a safe bet. The liberal media will NEVER say the words “First Hispanic President” when speaking of him.
But if hillary runs, they’ll be orgazming over “First Woman President”
Filthy hypocrites.

You know how democrats are obsessed with being the first to break traditions.
Of course they are only traditions to conservatives - to democrats they are "barriers".

He probably couldn’t find an unrepentant domestic terrorist who’d let him use his living room.

Reignite (Reaganite) the American Dream.
This man may be the Anti-Obama Americans have been praying for.
He is Tea-Party bred, born, and raised.
He is the male, Sara Palin.
He is the American Dream!
