The progressive elites will try to do to Cruz what they did to Abbott
The American mainstream media, the Republican Party establishment and the Democratic Party are determined that Ted Cruz not be sworn in as the 45th president.
Anyone with that opposition must be formidable.
That he is. Campaigning against Federal ethanol subsidies in Iowa, a major corn producing state, and against all poll predictions, Cruz defeated the media's favourite, Donald Trump, receiving more votes than any Republican candidate ever had. Cruz is the candidate most motivated by his attachment to traditional American principles. For his opponents, these are principles to which lip service only should be accorded these days. But the principles under which a Cruz administration would operate are the very ones on which the American Republic was founded.
Cruz does not merely mouth the proposition that all men have been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, he lives by this. As Texas Solicitor General he had been one of America's most successful public constitutional lawyers, with a string of successes in the Supreme Court. Having memorised it while still a schoolboy, the Constitution remains his guide to the good governance of the Union. By this he means the Constitution according to the original intention of the Founding Fathers, not that fictional 'living organism' which is the tool of activist judges who claim it means whatever they want it to mean.

In 20 years here I have never seen such personal insults between Freepers, even in 08 and 12. Calling each other stupid and almost looking for insults when done is intended was not often seen before. Newcomers are here with personal agendas rather than to learn more. Cruz and Trump are very different people and I guess FR supporters reflect that schism.
I watched Trumps TV show one time and I detested him and everything about him. It amazes me that others think he is the messiah.
When he speaks I hear “hope and change, hope and change”. Just like Obozo!
Yuck, almost anyone but .trump!
Amen! Agreed!
Yes! He know her politics, and if he disagrees with them, it should come as no surprise to her (but I think he shares her politics which is why he sees her as an option for the USSC or someone like her).
All together now...
Were you there when they Cruzifed my Ted?

I have not seen one Trump supporter reference Trump as a messiah.
I see no one claiming he’s perfect.
We do think he is the best man for the position.
As for Ted, I cannot watch him comfortably for more than thirty seconds.
At ten to fifteen seconds in, I’m instinctively looking for a way to turn it off.
Cruz will never be president. He is unelectable, and frankly untrustworthy from a leadership perspective. His entire team is composed of BushBots I don’t want to see back in power. However he is a brilliant lawyer and should be Chief Justice, if there is a way to demote Roberts.
Myrtle Beach is thin pickin's for conservatives. He should have tried Greenville or Columbia.
But I will say the Super Pac's have gone after Cruz with non stop commercials. Showing all of Cruz's lies on Immigrations B-1 Visas and Eminent Domain he supported in Senate Debate ...
Really? Do the superPAC's have anything to do with your showing up on FReeper to bash Cruz? And just mention in passing Beef A and Beef B?
You'll benefit by going back for a refresher on coat-trailing.
That's insane. Camacho was the result of unselective breeding, who supervised a dead society, with no cultural or survival positive attributes. What's so darn funny about the movie is that it predicted the Obama administration!
PS: in the movie, a real unlikely and outsider hero and his mate, a women with an unlikely resume, woke everyone up and saved civilization.
Have you watched the movie?
Were you there when Don called my Ted a puss?

Everything Levin and Rush say is true. Make your case for Trump, but it makes no sense to attack Rush and Levin for supporting a conservative candidate and defending conservatism from left-wing attacks, even when it is Trump that makes them (free market healthcare let’s people die in the sidewalk). It makes no sense to attack Levin and Rush for making the same case they’ve always made and believing the same things they’ve always believed.. PERIOD!
Ok. I don't get it. Half the posts say the media hates Trump. The other half says they love him. So which is it? Or does it hinge on whether you are for Trump or another candidate?
Cruz reminds me of Eddy Haskell from “Leave it to Beaver”.
Were you there when Ted took out Gentle Ben?

I’ve heard that. I’ve heard mr. Haney on Green Acres.

Ronald Reagan was saddled with a bunch of Bushbots, led by Bush 41 Himself, and managed still to lead an effective administration despite the Bushbots' constantly trying to paint Ronnie into a corner and "Option 'C'" him to death.
As for Chief Justice Roberts, I'd just ask him upfront for his resignation, privately. Who knows, it might work. He probably knows more acutely than anyone, what it means to have a man at the head of the Court who's vulnerable to blackmail.
Then Roberts can write his memoir about being blackmailed by Obama, and let the fur fly.
But to recur to "Bushbots" ..... How, in a future Republican administration, or a current Republican national campaign, would one go about excluding "Bushbots"? Making sure that nobody with any ties to Bush 41 or Bush 43 had anything to do with the campaign, or the Administration?
Richard Nixon once said about Bush 41, that he was one of those annoyingly inevitable people (because he knew so many people high in the GOP hierarchy) that one has to talk to, and that the best thing he could think of to do with Bush was to appoint him to something, just to make him go away.
Which thought brings up, for me, that long phone conversation Trump had with Bill Clinton before he announced.
That makes me a bit nervous all by itself.
I did just that. Thanks for the suggestion.
But...
