Sad...

I don’t think that either Santorum or Huckabee can fill Ted’s shoes.

They are really frightened of Ted Cruz.
And Sarah Palin. And Reagan.

Looks like Cruz is in good company.
Hope the GOPE doesn’t throw him overboard to satisfy the media and go with a Dole/McCain/Romney hybrid.

"I can’t put my finger on it, but when I look at Ted Cruz I don’t get a warm feeling that he is sincere"

Personally I don't go by feelings, as a conservative I think.

Facts carry much more weight with me than emotions, you know those warm fuzzy feelings, liberals put so much trust in.

Just Saying!

Right.

Such pretentiousness is the handmaiden of bad writing. It is usually a compensation for (well deserved) feelings of inferiority.

Like a joke that falls flat, the effect is humiliating for the jokester but the uneasy embarrassment spreads to the audience.

CRUZ WILL NOT HIDE HIS PAST AND HIS GRADES EITHER.

“Feelings”

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I’ve never met you, girl
You’ll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms

Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ll never have you again in my heart

Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it
I wish I’ve never met you, girl; you’ll never come again

Feelings, feelings like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ll never have you again in my life

Feelings, woo-o-o feeling it,
woo-o-o, feeling again in my arms
Feelings

“Heather Digby Parton, Class “A” Certifiable nut case.”

You got that right! I’m going back to her site to read her “articles” purely for sadistic entertainment value that Lefties can be as stupid as that.

That’s a h#ll of a way to live, BTW. Does she check under her bed every night for any racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes, Islamophobes, or just plain nasty rightwingers?

Anyway, President Ted Cruz in 2016! If he makes liberals like her go all crinkly-toes, then he must be doing something right.

Talk about Snarky? That comment was uncalled for. I don’t have anything against Cruz. I am just going to keep my powder dry until I am convinced that he isn’t just another opportunistic politician. By the way, inasmuch as he is a Lawyer, does anybody know where he stands on Tort Reform in regards to our Health Care System?

I don’t get a warm feeling ...

Use your brain rather than your emotions. I can tell you that there are many people here in Tennessee that would vote for Ted Cruz in a nano-second. I’m one of them. Cruz is well educated, has a sound base of conservative principles and sound religious morals, speaks well (without notes or technological assistance, is quick-witted...and has the cojones to STAND for those principles against all comers. ...AND he does so as a gentleman. Classy!

I doubt it, as she probably "just knows" they are there...

I can’t put my finger on it, but when I look at Ted Cruz I don’t get a warm feeling that he is sincere. Maybe it’s his white silk tie that reminds me of Movie Gangsters from the 40’s and 50’s.

Funny, I get the same feeling about you reading your inane, negative posts about Ted Cruz.

Kind of like there is a lack of sincerity or authenticity.

Listening to some of the Cruz supporters on these threads kind of reminds me of the zeal of the former supporters of Retired Congressman Ron Paul. When you said anything that might be construed as critical of Paul you could expect a deluge of personal attacks. If Cruz ends of being the Republican nominee, I will support him, but until that happens, I will keep an open mind on all the potential candidates and will compliment them when I think they are right about an issue and criticize them when I think they are wrong.

You criticized his tie in an emotional moment of angst. Hardly a well thought out conservative position.

Every Cruz thread I read has you making a similar type comment. For someone who has nothing against Cruz, you post quite a bit about how you don’t like him. Perhaps you should find a board where the owner hasn’t endorsed Cruz.

Yes he supports tort reform: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ted+cruz+tort+reform

Your posting history says otherwise. Yet here you are attempting to sound both principled and reasonable, while you are actually neither.

Whatever your personal animus is with Cruz, don’t expect to receive a friendly reception with your comments here.

A lot of people use “blessed” to mean something like “stinking”. I don’t think they mean anything offensive to what is truly sacred.

I have a question....

If Obama is an illegal POTUS due to being born in Kenya to an American mother, how can Cruz be elected when he admittedly was born in Canada to an American mother?

Can’t bitch about one and embrace another. Its hypocrisy.

BTW, I absolutely adore Ted Cruz! I really want him to run.
