Cruz also supports DOMA.
Abolishing the IRS. Count me in. I like Walker better but I will vote for ONE ISSUE! Abolishing the IRS is a time that has come. They have shown they are political and that should be their downfall. Plus I just got my tax bill. I am firing my accountants.
Cruz believes in America. Obama believes in Islam.
Obviously they find his positions so extreme that merely listing them will destroy him. What sort of evil menace opposes massive tax breaks that politically-connected corporations paid good bribes for, or a 10 million page tax code no one can understand, or political misuse of the IRS and education departments, or laws created by executive and judicial fiat instead of legislation, or an Affordable Health Care Act that increases costs, or spending ourselves into bankruptcy, or carving up viable fetuses just before birth? Is this Cruz guy sane or something?
The fifth-column leftist PublicBS propagandists use "firebrand."
You are muddled in your “requirements” for Cruz, or for a conservative candidate for President in general. On the one hand, you think that pushing the decision on “gay marriage” to the states is “cop-out” and you want the feds to mandate a behavior across the board. On the other hand, you don’t think Cruz’s wish to let states decide on common core opt-out is enough, and you want the feds totally out of education.
Do you not see the inconsistency?
And I cannot even tell what you meant by “I also do not think Cruz goes far enough on the subject of taxes.” What do you want, no taxes? Lower percentage? What? Just carping without saying why you disagree is meaningless...
I don’t think I am being inconsistent. The U.S. Constitution was created by men who had a Biblical worldview. That worldview is the foundation upon which our Christian republic was built. It is the prime reason why God had blessed this country so much. Allowing “gay marriage” anywhere in this country is an affront to everything the USA stands for. So just letting the states decide is not good enough. “Gay marriage” is an existential threat to our society and has to be stamped out. If don’t do it, we can expect great judgement from The Almighty.
I also think it’s not enough to say “oh, let the states opt out of Common Core.” The whole philosophy behind Common Core is corrupt and it is an abomination that the federal government has ANY role in funding schools. It leads to the very kind of financial blackmail that leads to mandates like Common Core.
As far as taxes go: I think any good conservative should (at the very least) express a fondness for eliminating the federal income tax altogether. Even if it’s unrealistic, that should be the stated goal.
But even given all of that, I never said I was unwilling to vote for Cruz - only that he is not a perfect conservative.

Allowing “gay marriage” anywhere in this country is an affront to everything the USA stands for. It stands in contrast with the very ideals embedded in the Constitution.
So just letting the states decide is not good enough. “Gay marriage” is an existential threat to our society and has to be stamped out. If don’t do it, we can expect great judgement from The Almighty.
We need a constitutional amendment.
I would add a lot more to the Ted Cruz wish list, but much of what needs to be done is constitutionally essential, but not what could be called crowd pleasers, that is, most people would have no idea what it meant.
Remember that by all accounts, Cruz is a master of constitutional law and theory. Not a fraud like Obama, Cruz is the real deal.
And if he can win the primary, it will be the year of the Tea Party.
I am too...I’m voting for him.
Exactly,...it’s time to stand up like a man, and vote for Cruz....no bullshit this time.
When I voted for Cruz over Dewhurst I almost broke the “enter” button on the computer ballot. It was my most proud vote since Reagan in 1980. Can wait to vote for him as POTUS next year.
“I also do not think Cruz goes far enough on the subject of taxes.”
Abolishing the IRS is pretty far, in my book. IN!
Yep....my first vote ever was for Reagan, and I’ve never felt as good about voting as i did then in 1980. I’m looking to get that same feeling again...this time by voting for Cruz!
AMEN brotha!
I intend to vote for him with similar enthusiasm!
