Didn’t you read my tag-line? Along with calling people haters another very common line Trump supporters will use when criticized is “Well tell me then who are YOU supporting?” This is so they can turn the attention away from the topic at hand and proceed to spout their own dislike of your chosen candidate.

I have already posted on the accomplishments of Ted Cruz. I could write another post about what he has done and some of the cases he argued before the SC and won that made a big difference. One of them was when GWB wanted the US to bow to the International Court of Justice (Medellin case). He represented, pro bono, veterans groups in the Salazar v. Buono case while in private practise. This was the case of the crosses honoring veterans in the Mojave Desert.

He has shown his support of the military time and again, most recently fighting for and winning the battle to award the purple heart to victims of the Fort Hood Massacre.

He defended the 10 Commandments monument in the Texas Capitol in Van Orden vs Perry and won.

He presented an amicus brief defending the 2nd amendment in The District of Columbia vs Heller.

This is one way to vet a candidate. I could post another mile-long post listing his accomplishments and conservative actions.

I have kept records on the candidates and have used them to compare and have chosen my candidate that way. My guy hasn’t always been 100% right IMO. But as many Freepers like to point out, none of the candidates are Jesus Christ. I ask myself, who has been the most conservative? Who has aligned with my beliefs most of the time? Who has the best record to support what they say? How consistent have they been in their statements, actions, beliefs? I have a lot of other questions I ask myself as well. Who they have called a name or yelled at has never been one of my criteria. Just saying.

Really! that’s your list of big accomplishments? You and I are not even on the same planet. How do those combined justify or compare on any scale with Cruz’s vote for TPA or the corker amendment? Ether of which has a probable huge negative consequence for America? Do you believe Cruz voted for TPA or the corker bill because he believed it was the best thing for Americans. Or as I believe, that he voted for them due to pressure from his donors and the gope.
