Cruz has a very long track record. He has stood alone and also kept his promises. You can zero in on an extremely small number of things that some of us find fault with. But you have to keep it in perspective.
If you are waiting for a perfect leader, you will have to wait until Jesus comes back. Until then you may want to support the least bad option.
Why does the left, GOPe, and Planned Parenthood HATE Cruz above ALL other candidates?
Does Trump (or Cruz or Carson or others) have some plusses that Cruz does not? Probably. But I support Cruz because he is across the board conservative. He has made and will make mistakes, but he will make decisions guided by an ideology of conservatism. I like that.
A few very BAD choices can taint a candidate for life, or at least the length of an election.
In this case, the initial support of TPA, Corker, and Cruz’s (apparent) unwillingness to be bold on the immigration problem have tainted him in the eyes of many.
I am not waiting for the perfect candidate.
I have found the one I believe will be most effective and has the has the will to do the job.
I am aware of Ted’s track record going back to his work as an adviser to the Bush campaign.
The theme running through Ted’s advise to Bush and his votes on TPA and the Corker bill is one of globalism.
Increasing H1B visas and saying the reason for illegal immigrants coming here was because of poverty in Mexico. His solution to that was to increase the living standard in Mexico. How is that done? By encouraging American companies to move there.
TPA, the Iran deal, and open boarders are all economically driven with both cheap labor and opening new markets.
With Ted’s votes and his stances on immigration, when he was not running for office, tell me that he is very much a globalist.
He is, without a doubt, the most conservative on social issues but what difference will that make when we are no longer a country?
I would rather vote for someone who has facts, information, and reasoning ability than ideological purity.
