TAXES

Cruz has proposed simplifying taxes with the ultimate goal of abolishing the IRS.

Paul has proposed simplifying taxes with the ultimate goal of abolishing the IRS, but recently proposed special tax breaks to favored minorities and fiscally irresponsible college students.
SPENDING
CRUZ RATED @ B-
Cruz ignores trillions in wasteful military spending, but has an otherwise outstanding record.
RAND RATED @ B

(SNIP)
OBAMACARE
CRUZ RATING @ A+
Cruz has demonstrated that he will go to any lengths to repeal Obamacare.
RAND RATING @ C-

(SNIP)

Cruz has a long history of defending religious liberty. Most recently, he boldly spoke out against the SatanicGBT community’s jihad and persecution of Christians.

ABORTION @ A
Cruz is unabashedly pro-life.
RAND RATING @ B-
Paul is pro-life, but has softened his stance and will likely continue to do so.
FIGHTING FEMINAZIS
CRUZ RATING @ F
Ted Cruz joined psychotic liberal Kirsten Gillibrand’s jihad against masculinity in the military (ignoring 200,000 years of human history) and sacrificing military readiness at the altar of feminazism.
RAND RATING @ F

Comparisons with an agenda. Watch out folks......
I don’t require a chart to answer this very simple question. No conservative should.
Cruz ignores trillions in wasteful military spending? How much has been spent on the military (wasteful and otherwise) while he has been a Senator?
Truly stupid grading system.
Cruz is the more conservative of the two, by a good large margin.

Rand Paul
Taxes: ... but recently proposed special tax breaks to favored minorities and fiscally irresponsible college students.

Obamacare ... reneged on his promise to help ... defund Obamacare ...
Illegal NSA Spying ... recently softened his position to placate neocons and low-information Republicans.
Interventionism ... recently abandoned non-interventionism to placate neocons and low-information Republicans.
...
More than enough examples of Rand Paul changing positions and pandering to groups.
If you don’t stand for something, you fall for anything. Paul doesn’t seem to take many stands. Instead he wobbles like a Weeble.
Randy just voted with Corker to allow The WH muslim to sell out the west to Iran.
He voted to lift the Iranian embsrgo by the US

Thank you traitor Rand abd Rubio !!!

I’ll have to take the ratings on the candidates that are listed on Conservative Review. They are much more comprehensive.
You see that 2nd dotted line on right side?
Any candidate right of that line with a black dot is eminently conservative.
I like them all in that group. I hate disparaging that group. They are, without exception, friends of conservatives. Which means Scott Walker and down in that groups are all good people.
I don’t believe this for a second - Cruz is so conservative he makes Paul look like a screaming liberal
According to whom? And how does he “ignore” it?
I think it’s more important to note that Cruz is by all accounts a brilliant constitutional and legal scholar. But what this means is lost on a lot of people.
Many people imagine the presidency as being like a one hour TV drama, in which at the beginning, somebody runs into the president’s office and says, “Mr. president, we have a *problem*!” And then, for the next 45 minutes, the president works to solve that problem *for good*.
Sounds stupid, and it is.
The reality is that the POTUS must always think in terms of tactics, strategy, history and the future. Which is a LOT harder than it sounds. And, as Clint Eastwood said in one of his movies, “A man has to know his limitations.”
But Cruz would enter the office knowing what he *can* do, and what he *might* be able to do. And he will have to use political tactics to do these things, as part of a larger strategy.
Much of a president’s time in office is spent “getting their ducks in a row”, to achieve a given result. They must manage the congressional process, and get assurances that what they are doing will survive legal challenges.
While doing so, they must keep their plans secret, as any hint will permit those opposed to him to muster defenses against the idea.
They also need to plan for things that may take a very long time to bring about, and won’t be brought about by them. This is called “getting the ball rolling.” And hoping that it has so much momentum that it will achieve that goal.
It is also very hard on one’s ego, after having worked very hard to get something accomplished, it is accomplished, but you not only do not get credit for it, but your worst political enemies might.
Supporters demand results on what they care about, even if only they care about it, and it is impractical or close to impossible for you to do. And they will curse you for the “failure.”
“You might have created unicorns, but they are not *magical* unicorns!”
Being POTUS is not an easy job. So it is better to vie for somebody who is smart and motivated, and not to be disappointed when they are not perfect.
Here is a good website for comparison:
https://www.conservativereview.com/
Liberty Scores:
Cruz - A 96% Conservative Rating
Rand - A - 93%
Rubio - B 81% (it was 80% until today)
The Conservative Review® Liberty Score™ grades members of Congress using long-term voting records. A letter grade is assigned to each member to help you quickly determine if a lawmaker is supporting conservative principles. The Liberty Score™ is one of the primary tools Conservative Review® uses to help separate rhetoric from reality.

Cruz an be many things, but the Press and entertainment media will ridicule and label him as a right wing gun and Bible toting mad man, who is running against a combination of Mary the Immaculate and mother Theresa who also has the ability to walk on water. For Cruz its going to be a rough up hill battle to take the high ground. If he can squash the Press he can squash Hillary. Looking for an open debate??? Dream on, cleared questions only for Hillary. She won’t answer the tough ones. She’ll benefit from the massive hype and myth that will be put out continuously for the next 22 months.
Besides, Rand has a bad haircut sarc/
