Come on now, don't hold back ... what's your real opinion? ;^)

I'm with you, though -- I think Santorum is pride-filled, sanctimonious, and devious. For example, in 2011-12, he constantly used the phrase "family values," and even made the absurd claim that "family values" were necessary for a strong economy. Really, Rick? Then why isn't Mexico, where family values are fabulously strong and righteous, enjoying a thriving economy?

The truth is that Rick was using "family values" as code for "I didn't get divorced like Newt did" and also because he was too timid to use the term "Christian values." I asked a lot of Santorum supporters what the difference was between family values and Christian values, and not a single one even attempted to answer that question. Santorum's "family values" phrase caused pain and hurt good worthy people who for whatever reason either didn't have big families or if they did, weren't the types to dote on them.

Santorum used devious language then, and will no doubt use it again. Cruz, on the other hand, speaks straightforwardly. Cruz is the ONLY guy in the race who is worth voting for.

“Santorum used devious language then, and will no doubt use it again. Cruz, on the other hand, speaks straightforwardly. Cruz is the ONLY guy in the race who is worth voting for. “

I think Cruz’ straight talk and ability to articulate his patriotic message will put the other candidates to shame. As long as he is allowed in the debates! I just know the MSM, and Faux too unfortunately, are trying to figure out how to minimize Cruz. He scares them because he is the first real, unapologetic conservative in a long time....and he’s smarter than them and they know it ;)

When the time comes, I will proudly cast my vote for Cruz. He does a masterful job of spelling out conservative values in a way that makes sense to the average voter. Love...love...love Ted Cruz.
