Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

CRUZ or LOSE!

CRUZ or LOSE!

I thought McLame got a Harvard MBA after the service, maybe that was W. Bush.

[MeshugeMikey]

SHe too is a Firebrand!..

[miliantnutcase]

Is she really a member of the CFR?

[Theoria]

W = Yale; Harvard MBA

[Vendome]

Very nice article.

Except referring to her as “nee Nelson”.

I don’t get that idiocy.

[Theoria]

She is a former member. She was a member for 5 years under the "term membership" program.

She helped craft Building a North American Community while there.

Maybe it's one of those things where I don't agree with my wife's politics as we don't see eye to eye. Maybe it's the same with them. At least I'm hoping...

Goldman has way too much influence, all round the world.

There is a saying, “once Goldman, always Goldman”.

[laplata]

That’s not good.

“Except referring to her as “nee Nelson”.

I don’t get that idiocy.”

Maybe only to indicate that she is not Hispanic by birth?

[DoodleDawg]

If Ted Cruz wins then I will definitely pray for Heidi Cruz. And if Cruz doesn’t win I’ll pray for the wife of the winner. Because what’s going to happen to them after the past 7 years shouldn’t happen to a dog.

During “1950’s domesticity,” there were intact families, fewer illegitimate kids, fewer people dying alone, and conversations around the dinner table. Life had its problems, especially for segregated blacks; but I’ll take domesticity over feminism.

From Wikipedia:

"Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy[36] from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992"

[Politicalkiddo]

It’ll be great to have a woman as FLOTUS again.

Yes, only a liberal could see a spouse's sacrifice to her family as a detriment. It takes character and strength to give up one's personal desires for the sake of others, and a more profound sense of fulfillment is achieved while doing so.

Liberals love to quote Ephesians 5:25 to slam Christianity's apparent sexist ideology, but fall to follow up with the rest of it, which states the man's role of sacrifice to the wife as Christ did for the church, IOW, his life. Both man and women share sacrificial roles in a true covenant with God. A covenant is the most binding of oaths, because it involves the spilling of blood (after Jesus' sacrifice, the blood spilling is metaphorical).

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Heh.

[Georgia Girl 2]

God can we just get back to a nice attractive well dressed first lady. Heidi welcome aboard.

[Sequoyah101]

Goldman-Sachs are the devil’s spawn as far as I am concerned.

I like Ted but you can’t sleep that close to a G-S managing partner and not have a conflict of interest rub off on you.

Not a benefit where I am concerned. She may not be on the ballot but her husband is. My wife doesn’t run me any more than I run her but I sure pay attention to what she thinks are good ideas.

[Rome2000]

Cruz is out to smash the system.

He may be Ivy, but he’s not a WAHINGTONIAN.
