5 reasons Ted Cruz is even more dangerous than Donald Trump
Salon ^ | Jan 25, 2016 | Robert Reich

1. ..........Cruz is a fierce ideologue: He denies the existence of man-made climate change, rejects same-sex marriage, wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, believes the 2nd amendment guarantees everyone a right to guns, doesn’t believe in a constitutional divide between church and state, favors the death penalty, opposes international agreements, embraces a confrontational foreign policy, rejects immigration reform, demands the repeal of “every blessed word of Obamacare,” and takes a strict “originalist” view of the meaning of the Constitution.

I would personally like to see Trump support Ted Cruz as the Republican nominee with all the enthusiasm he is showing now to defeat the socialist he has supported in the past.

Both men are dangerous, but a Cruz presidency would set America back decades, warns the former secretary of labor

Sounds good to me. Count me in. Pre-gay-marriage. Pre-abortion-on-demand. Pre-unsustainable-debt. Pre-socialized-medicine. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Sigh. The perfect candidate.

He's the Marry Poppins of Conservatism: practically perfect in every way.

“The champions of socialism call themselves ‘progressives’, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office.” — Ludwig von Mises

The above quote needed saying IMHO.

“Oh look, shorty Reich is angry.”

When he was Secretary of Labor his Secret Service code name was “FIREPLUG.”

Trump or nothing crowd are in line with salon dot com it seems.
Listened to Mark Levin rewind last night as I went to bed, quite a few trump supporters have changed to Cruz in the past week.

Yes I know Trump supporters will say they were only Cruz people pretending to be Trump, that would be the answer I would expect from them. They gave same reason as myself, just the lies and the viscous attacks against Cruz showed Trumps true character.

Cults are like that, Jehovah`s Witnesses for instance speak of former members that have left the cult, as never really being real JW`s.

Good news in the Q poll for Cruz this morning. That makes by my count 5 polls within the margin of error in Iowa this past week

Do editors even exist anymore?

This isn't the text of the Salon article.

POLITICO has a hit piece out on Cruz today as well:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/ted-cruz-2016-establishment-george-bush-213561

It seems the RINO strategy is:
1. Stop Cruz in Iowa.
then
2. Turn all guns to Cruz.

Hope they’ll keep in-fighting as well and a pro-scamnesty candidate like Rubio moves up.

Look at the headline on Drudge today. With a few million new Hispanic votes, the 50/50 balance will be tipped to Democrats forever. They then can REALLY move in the ‘refugees’ like we see in Europe.

We are getting a million new Muslims moved into the U.S. this year — 300,000 via ‘refugee’ status and the rest via legal immigration under existing laws.

That could be 3-5 million Muslims a year. Just destabalize the Middle East with the fake ‘Arab Spring’, cause chaos, bring them Muzzies all here.

Remember, according to Dems, the real threat to humanity is?....

Republicans:

Should be REQUIRED READING! Along with F.A. Hayek’s Road to Serfdom which was dedicated to “socialists of all parties”.

“1. Cruz is a fierce ideologue: “

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Basically every one is an ideologue some way or another. Oh, I get it, he is complaining that Cruz is a CONSERVATIVE ideologue. Well we can’t have any of that. If he were a communist satanist homosexual ideologue then that would be fine with Robert (the midget) Reiccccccccccch.
