Another commie lib worried about the Republican Party while her party is out there like a bunch of vultures ripping America apart.

Same here. Conservatives have been referring to the Kenyan as the DemocRAT “messiah” for going on six years. Now the commies want to try it on Senator Cruz. The commie DemocRAT party will never be accused of being the party of original ideas.

Seems to me that Ted is not TRYING to be anything other than who he is. He is a man of principles. How shocking for this poor idiot that he has never met some one who says what they mean and means what they say

I like Ted Cruz, I really do, but I have a few problems with a presidential run. 1) He was born in Canada. 2) only his mother was a citizen at the time Cruz was born and 3) His father came to America at age 18 in 1957 but didn’t become a citizen until 2005. I just don’t see Cruz fitting the definition of a ‘natural born citizen.’ He’d make a great leader for Canada, tho.

According to a story from Ted Cruz’s college days, he spoke to a business group in support of Castro’s revolution, but when he heard about what was really going on under the Cuban dictator’s regime, he went back and apologized for his ill-advised and ignorant remarks.

Is it plausible that he would not have known of Castro's brutal repression?

I don’t believe Cruz used the words “godless obama administration”. I stopped reading right there.

Again? Really?

Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president? [Yes! And I support him! JimRob]

Someone has him confused with his father:

Cruz’s father, who was born in 1939 in Matanzas, Cuba,[13][14] as Robert T. Garrett of the Dallas Morning News has described, “suffered beatings and imprisonment for protesting the oppressive regime”[13][18] of dictator Fulgencio Batista. He fought for communist revolutionary Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution[19][20] when he was 14 years old, but “didn’t know Castro was a Communist.” A few years later he became a staunch critic of Castro when “the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent.”[13][21] The elder Cruz fled Cuba in 1957 at the age of 18, landing in Austin,[18] becoming a Cuban émigré, to study at the University of Texas, knowing no English and with $100 sewn into his underwear.

Lydia Webb is developing a case of CDS (Cruz Derangement Syndrome). This disease is akin to 0WS (0bama Worship Syndrome).

Lydia, please get off your knees, and wipe your chin. You will have plenty of time to use your pen to malign Senator Cruz.

This kind of snot-nosed juvenile slop shows the immaturity of the writer.

The writer apparently has Senator Cruz confused with his dad -- who fought against the Batista regime with Castro, then fought against Castro when he revealed his true Communist colors.

I've no idea where she got this particular story, though.

1. The corporation is only refusing to provide the abortifacient. The employee still has the choice to purchase their own.

2. The employee is forcing their belief on the corporation by demanding the abortifacient and that the corporation must pay for it.

3. Corporations have free speech the courts have determined. What about religious freedom. It is in the same amendment.

The employee also has the choice to obtain employment elsewhere or can seek employment with a company that provides the abortifacient if this is of the utmost importance to the employee.

That was either bad writing or on purpose by the writer.

It was the dad who did it.

“”His father, Rafael, as a teen-ager in Cuba, fought alongside Castro’s revolutionaries against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. He was jailed and beaten by the regime. “My grandmother said that his suit, which had started out bright white, you couldn’t see a spot of white on it,” Cruz said. “It was just stained with blood and mud, and his teeth were dangling from his mouth.” Rafael left for the United States, and in 1957 started at the University of Texas on a student visa. He continued to support Castro. “He learned English very quickly and began going around to local Rotary Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs and speaking about the Revolution and raising money for Castro,” Cruz said. “He was a young revolutionary. He would get Austin businesspeople to write checks.”

When Castro came to power, in 1959, the elder Cruz quickly grew disillusioned. His younger sister fought in the counter-revolution and was tortured by the new regime. Rafael returned to Cuba in 1960 to see his family, and was shaken by what Castro’s Communist dictatorship had wrought. “When my father got back to Austin,” Cruz said, “he sat down and made a list of every place he’d gone to speak, and he made a point of going back to each of them and standing in front of them and saying, ‘I owe you an apology. I misled you. I took your money and I sent it to evil ends.’ And he said, ‘I didn’t do so knowingly, but I did so nonetheless, and for that I’m truly sorry.’ When I was a kid, my dad told me that story over and over again. To me, that always defined character: to have the courage to go back and apologize.”””

Maybe you missed the McCain and George Romney campaigns as well.

It’s only okay for Marxists and Fascists to have messiah’s touting utopias.

Conservatives are evil and therefore not permitted to have them - according to the perverted thinking of the Left. Only government is god.

Truth is - there is no such thing as a political messiah, whether it be Ted Cruz or Ron Paul. Our problems are a reflection of our character gone to pot. A culture become wicked - because this nation and people are rejecting or indifferent to the TRUE Messiah and find nothing worth standing for besides self interests and emoting pap.

They have listened to a culture and leadership both political and religious to empower self, and feed the self, rather than becoming self-less.

We need The True Messiah - Jesus. And not rest our hopes in men or their institutions. No man or party can save us from where we find ourselves.

We need God first. Repentance second and pray for a leader who is a servant of the Lord, who seeks to serve, not one who seeks to rule.

When we once again become a righteous people - then the people will rejoice and liberty will flourish. Without such, only misery and the tyranny of men will rule such a people.
