Well stated. Ted stands against this:

“NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV QUOTE 9/29/1959]

REMEMBER THIS ?

Nikita Khrushchev September 29, 1959

Appeared before the U.N. AND BANGED HIS SHOE ON THE LECTERN?

“Your grandchildren will live under communism. “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; we’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”

Someone trained obama...........

Do any of these guys have better ideas? Or are they only interested in taking shots at Cruz because they resent the attention he gets?

I’m glad someone is standing up for America. I don’t expect to agree with everything he says, but at least he’s willing to push back against the congresscritter club. That’s more than I can say for 99% of them.

p.s. Where’s Rand Paul on this? Is he silent? Not getting any news coverage? Not fighting? Tired of fighting?

Name YOUR “presidential material”.

Name the person.

Then everyone else can just sit down and shut up.

Right?

Look what happens when you crash the establishment’s party. They get all bent out of shape when someone comes to Washington with the intent to change things as the voters expect them to do. I’m tired of the RINOS and the rest of the D.C. crowd. It angered me when I was listening to Rush this week and he mentioned that several of the richest counties in the country surround the nation’s capital. Yeah, what a shock. All of those tasty government contracts and the private companies in that area getting fat and wealthy at our expense. Limousine liberals feasting with our hard earned money. No wonder they hate Ted Cruz because he wants to break up their little monopoly.

House insiders say a handful of House Republicans cursed Cruz in the cloakroom on Wednesday, and a leadership source says angry e-mails were exchanged among GOP staffers who consider Cruz to be a charlatan. “Cruz keeps raising conservatives’ hopes, and then, when we give him what he wants, he doesn’t have a plan to follow through,” an aide fumes. “He’s an amateur.” Another aide says, “Nancy Pelosi is more well-liked around here.”

RINO establishment types who have no clue what the hell is going on outside of the hallowed halls of congress. Nancy Pelosi is the problem and these idiot moderate Republicans don’t want to accept that because they’re all one big happy establishment family and they don’t like it that Ted Cruz is there to break it up.

Trust me... he has a plan.

Also, I think this is good news. The more people trash him as they have been from both sides the better. I listen to that idiot Beckel talking about us like we’re crazies and I chuckle.

Ted Cruz will be the David... fighting everyone in DC...the Goliath....

In summary...what you say here in your posting is good news...

statements like the one you posted should be put up as a headline for all those who can’t understand what they’re supporting .

They bear repeating and often for all those who push , not bothered or want their open borders, homosexual marriage, lack of freedom of religion etc.

His voice bothers me. He also doesn’t have the look of lets say Paul Ryan. He’s like a kinder version of Jimmy Stewart. He looks more like your pastor rather than your Quarterback.

I don’t know...but you can say the same thing about Rand Paul, and the rest of them...

I’m hoping that his words, and his actions will grow on Americans. Hey, a week or two ago, Boehner was not in his court, now he seems to be a believer.

One more thing...I have this theory, that the guy with the best smile wins the presidency. I think Sarah would wipe up Hillary. Ted has decent smile, but not the knock out good looks, but then again, maybe he needs a good publicist, and make up man... and a little different hair do....

We have a long way to go...

“What’s a lurker?”

Someone who reads but does not post. They outnumber posters on any given thread by about 10-1.

I’m an ex Democrat who saw the light and bailed on them. I just get angry seeing these stupid GOP establishment types who just want to play the game and get along with the Dems. This is such a golden opportunity to blow the Dems out of the water and these damn RINOS are running scared again !! Liberals always play the class warfare card and yet they themselves are the elitist, rich crowd who is out of touch with average Americans. Ted Cruz is a breath of fresh air and not a poser conservative like John McLame.

The current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has presence. How’s that working out for the country? If we’re so concerned about a candidate’s looks, presence, and how he looks on TV then we’re no better than the low information crowd. That’s how they think. Some of you already have a defeatist attitude for Ted Cruz. Stop it!! He would mop the floor with Bill’s Wife and Uncle Joe in any debate. This lack of confidence even among Freepers is starting to piss me off. Conservatism has to prevail period. There is no other alternative. Our country’s continued economic viability and existence depends on our side!! Remember that everyone.

The presence which matters is the presence of Almighty God.

Some devoutly Christian candidates may get a bit chicken about asserting that, fearing the chorus of ravens that say “Nevermore” at some imaginary co-opting of the state by the church. Individual Christians acting like the lights they are, even when they serve in Caesar’s halls, is not the same thing as the church accepting an “opportunity” to own Caesar which will not turn out well for either the church or Caesar.

In specific, I hope he speaks well and explicitly of gospel based ministries while making it clear that they need to stay independent of government.

Just found the thread so perhaps this was addressed:

“Peter King said something to the effect, “I wish Ted Cruz would just shut up, and mind his own business. Stay the hell out of our business in the Senate, etc etc.”

Cruz is in the Senate, so, the business in the Senate is Cruz’s business.

Peter T King is in the House.

Another thing that should be done.The House should officially CENSURE the dims that walked out of the Benghazi Hearing as the family members of two of the Seals that were killed were getting ready to speak.

That was below despicable.
