It seems to me the only principled reason to be a Republican would be to stop, thwart and defeat Leftist ideas youre opposed to. Therefore, what better standard by which to judge Republican presidential candidates than by who is the most committed to actually defeating the opposition?
And who might that candidate be in 2016? Well, according to the man from whom much of todays conservative multimedia empire originates, that candidate is Ted Cruz.
If youre looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism, whose agenda is oriented towards stopping it, thwarting it, and defeating it its Ted Cruz, Mr. Limbaugh recently said on his popular radio program.
Let the record show that as usual, Rush is right.
In fact, I challenge anybody reading this to make an objective case there is a more principled candidate in the race than Mr. Cruz because you cant. I also work for an organization called Conservative Review, which gives regularly scheduled proctology exams to the records of politicians by charting how they vote on a full spectrum of conservative issues via our liberty scorecard. Mr. Cruz currently has our second-highest score at 96 percent, which is second only to Mike Lee.
Except Mr. Cruz does not just settle for voting the right way when its all said and done, but he fights back on our behalf against the corruption infesting Washington as well as the losership of the Republican Party.
...
Here is the bottom line: If someone doesnt have a proven history of fighting the corruption in Washington before getting elected, that probably means theyre unlikely to do it after they reach the White House.

I’m pretty sure Rush is a Steelers fan.

Rush is a Libertarian that makes money pretending to be a Conservative. Nothing wrong with that as long as you are wise to his shtick.

Budget: Cruz has made massive financial deals, has put tens of thosuands of people to work, has run a billion dollar business, and protected a bottom line. Next flight of fantasy...
Civil Liberties: Trump has said he'll round up and deport illegal immigrants, build a wall that is 60 feet tall along our border. This results in his red marker on civil liberties. No sale.
Free Market: The "FREE MARKET"... Nothing in life is free. The cost of this "FREE MARKET" has been tens of millions of U. S. jobs. Trump wants to bring them back. That warrants a red marker. LOL
Health Care and Entitlements: Trump has proposed a private sector replacement of Obamacare. He wants to reduce entitlements as part of getting the budget under control. This red marker is simply proposterous.
Moral issues: What moral issues? Good grief. Name one moral issue Trump has a problem with.
Second Amendment: This is simply a fraud. Trump has a paper on Second Amendment rights, and it's recognized as a good one.
Taxes, Economy, and Trade: Trump's tax position is good. His economic experience is second to very few U. S. Citizens. His trade view are more solid than any other candidate's.
In Cruz's favor, his free market mark isn't deserved either.
Trump is the go to guy because of his economic experience. He is solid on other issues as well, but second to illegal immigration, our national debt and related matters are vitally important and need to be addressed. Trump is the only candidate with the experience necessary to do that.
Cruz supporters are pleased to drop this bomb on the forum.
It isn't an accurate display on Trump. As such it's actually a smear on Cruz when his supporters tout it as a reason to support Cruz. What they should be doing is pointing out the obvious flaws in this ranking. And RANK is the proper word here....

Who knows who or what Trump is?
he current incarnation is fine, but he is 69 years old and has been all over the map ideologically in the past 20 years. Most people know what they believe by the time they reach 50 years old why has Trump so volatile in his views?
Does he really have deeply help beliefs. I certainly knows that Cruz has deeply help principles.
HE has a some votes I disagree with but he is someone I can enthusiastically support.
