If Jebbie and Scott are leading in the polls, why even bother to attack a "second-tier, unlikely" candidate like Ted Cruz? Are the internal polls showing things that the public polls (that we are allowed to see) aren't? Or what? The comments, of course, are a laff riot.

The Huffington post is an e-rag.

A huge effort was made to define Cruz early and sideline him, problem is the guy just keeps perking along. He didn’t just go away like he was supposed to and all people have to do to figure this out is to hear what he has to say.

That’s the thing about Cruz too, as an orator he can give Edwards a run for his money without any of the associated baggage.

Unfortunately most people either don’t want to work at all, or are envious of the free stuff and big salaries of gummint employees. Few will take the time to realize the earning a lot of money as a gummint worker is different than earning a lot of money in the private sector.

I don’t see any problem with what he said. Actually, I doubt a conservative can win the Presidency WITHOUT placing the blame for “income inequality” on the leftist policies of an all powerful nanny government. It only serves to enrich those who have the inside connections to federal policy makers.

Cruz should be vetted. He has not been vetted like the rest of them. This is mandatory for all candidates if they want to run. Nobody gets special treatment. We are not having a coronation. Walker has been going through vetting for 4 years.....he is ready.

I wouldn’t take this attack to mean that Cruz has gained mainstream credibility. But it is an attack to paint him as an extremist. This will be his major challenge in this campaign regardless of how we view him here. The big question is not how he plays in Texas but can he generalize that conservative appeal to the rest of the country.

“Edwards ... Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)”

Au contraire, HuffPo. Cruz is not channeling these nitwits.

Edwards and Fauxcahontas, like all good little Marxists, want to level everyone by Stalinist tactics.

Cruz is calling out the Kenyan Fraud and his billionaire/millionaire buddies who have fed at the federal trough by means of federal government cronyism. It’s what the stimulus and other bloated government programs were designed for—picking winners and losers. The Fraud’s buddies have made out really well.

Cruz wants to do away with all that—even down to ethanol subsidies and other vote getting crony, taxpayer funded giveaways—by getting the Dist. of Corruption out of the market, lowering taxes, and cutting red tape. This is just the opposite of what the leftists want. They want the government, not the market place, to dole out the goodies. Cruz couldn’t disagree more.

I love what Cruz has had to say. I love what Walker has done. Neither is perfect. I just hope that when push comes to shove we can all rally around the one that can/will win.
