Who the bleep cares? What is Cruz's father running for? This is like that idiotic argument I heard someone make that Rick Santorum's grandpa was a commie.
This is a good question: What nationality is Ted Cruz?
This a lame question. Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother. I could at least understand you getting your panties in a bunch if was running for President but he's not.
And Ngat, sorry why don't you read the comments on this thread. Freepers are for Cruz and against the Cornyn Clone (at best!) Dewhurst, citizen legislator my hind. You and Hocndoc and maybe one other poster on this thread aren't. That's the dictionary definition of a minority. So you better come up with a different line than "you're mistaken" if you can't bring yourself to accept that obvious assertion. And what the hell are you doing asking Auh2oRepublican why he is "attacking Dewhurst" when you are attacking Cruz (with the Goldman sachs and Soros crap "not that there's anything wrong with that"). It's called politics, Mitt Romney didn't invent it. The difference is that Dewhurst deserves to be attacked like any other weak Republican and not one argument against Cruz made on this thread is anything but a bunch of horsecrap nonsense.
Again, you have nothing to back up your attacks on Lt. Governor Dewhurst. Nothing but groundless assertions.
And do see Cruz as a guy with a great future in the conservative movement if he will prove himself. He is just trying for too much, too soon. Just exactly like why Santorum flamed out.
And many times I have seen posters jump on the bandwagon of some unproven, appealing candidate, while just assuming the worst about a guy who has actually walked the conservative walk.
And who are you to call me on “attacking” Cruz, calling it “horsecrap nonsense” when all I did was ask if it is true what I heard that Cruz is a Princeton grad and Harvard Lawyer, if his spouse is a Goldman-Sachs VP, and if his Law Firm numbers George Soros as one of its clients?
I would think some people would be proud of all that. If true, why deny it? If it is not true, why then it surely is “horsecrap nonsense.” Is it true, or isn’t it?
Impy, it appears that you care very much. I was just curious, because it seems as though Cruz only tells a bit of the story.
Your comments about Dewhurst are just statements of opinion, nothing but pure emotion.
There is no evidence that Dewhurst is not conservative and the success of the 82nd Legislature is evidence of his leadership. Did you watch him in 2003 when the Dem Senators ran away to New Mexico? He was unyielding.
What is your definition of citizen legislator? Dewhurst served in the Air Force, then the CIA, then started a very successful business. After turning 50, he ran for Land Commissioner, then for Lt. Governor. Now, he’s running for State Senator - and probably won’t serve more than one term.
