It seems to me the only principled reason to be a Republican would be to stop, thwart and defeat Leftist ideas you’re 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 today’s conservative multimedia empire originates, that candidate is Ted Cruz.
“If you’re 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 – it’s 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 can’t. 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 it’s 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 doesn’t have a proven history of fighting the corruption in Washington before getting elected, that probably means they’re unlikely to do it after they reach the White House.

That’s GREAT
I am. I love a good laugh.
Agreed.
And Trump is an actor I have seen one million times before.
Capable? yes.
Trustworthy?
How Ted Cruz ended up with an elite banker for a wife is the part that baffles me. I wouldn’t trust anyone who works in the upper halls of Goldman Sachs.
Yet you trust Trump? LOL
I don't trust anyone who doesn't have good judgment of characters.
By virtue everyone on Free Republic should stand behind and support Ted Cruz since Free Republic is a so called “ Conservative “ forum.
However everyone does not see it that way.
There was a day way back when when most Conservatives would not compromise their conservative values.
That is the reason why this country is going down the tubes because we have strayed from our moral mornings as a country.
Ted’s wife does not roll around in lingerie in front of a camera
Exactly
It is. I'm glad you avail yourself of it, too. Maybe things will improve for you.
It’s more or less agenda driven....
Agendas , do not, or can be , have to be driven with or without ignorance....
You are one misguided soul. Arguing cases in front of the Supreme Court is not leadership - it’s just what an attorney does - and a darned good one at that. So, why don’t you go eat your cookies and milk? You are another sour puss on here - and as I said - a misguided one.
Or fence sitters...
Why does this keep getting reported as if Rush went off on a Cruz love rant?
He didn’t.
It was a completely unsurprising response to a caller “Roberto”.
The fact is still the fact.
...and it was the same ones that threw a fit when the Republican Candidate ended up Mitt Romney.... so many said they would NEVER vote for a RINO again.. and what are they doing/?? choosing a RINO in comparison to Ted Cruz...” because he can win, they say”.. same argument the GOPe put up when they endorsed Mitt..
Sure. So what. It’s like other hot news such as water is, wet!
The article does make me chuckle a little though…
“While Marco Rubio was becoming the poster-child for the “gang of eight” amnesty scam, Mr. Cruz helped to lead the fight to kill it.”
Uh huh, by adding an amendment to raise H1B visas from 65000 to 325000.
But he sure does hate Liberalism.
Being a Racketter is?
