"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

I do not care if Senator or Governor or a business person, I want someone who believes in America, respects the Constitution, and will secure the borders and kick out illegal aliens. Give us back our country.

At last we have two, possibly three candidates that we can choose from. The sweet words from RUBIO is just that, sweet, sacharine words that mean absolutely nothing. As it stands now, we have TED CRUZ,and RAND PAUL, that are willing to buck the trend, and possibly a third candidate, SCOTT WALKER that appears to raise the ire of every body in Washington. Every time any one of these three speaks, every body in the Washington liberal “ELITES” have a complete nervous breakdown. They, the Washington “ELITES”, will defend their turf, to the last No Nothing voter. And, should any one of these three win, they’ll just bide their time, the same way they did when Reagan was elected. As soon as Reagan’s term was over, it was business as usual with Bush #1.

I support Cruz, but the last decent president we had who was a senator (and not also a VP or Gov, etc.) was Warren Harding (he gets a bad rap in the history books, but he presided just fine.)

All things being equal, I’d go with a governor. All things are NOT equal, and I support Cruz as my first choice (with Walker as an acceptable second). Also, Solicitor General is a big deal. In a way, that position shows moere proof of deep comprehension of issues that U.S. Senator does.

Excellent post!

When I hear Charles Krauthammer dismiss “freshmen senators” off-hand, I want to strangle him. Governor, Senator, business leader, whatever.

It boils down to a profound little anecdote attributed, I believe, to Abraham Lincoln.

He was asked, “Who is smarter, a man or a woman?”

His thoughtful reply: “Which man, and which woman?”

Of all the candidates, Cruz has distanced himself above his competition by leagues. He has boldly faced down the progressive dems without regard to fallout. Most importantly he has jumped into the arena to face our strongest milquetoast RINO leaders, McConnell and Boehner, to name two.

His head may be bloodied a little, but he has definitely earned my support and my money.

Let’s saddle up!
