If there was a star at Friday morning's session of the 2012 Values Voter Summit, it was Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. Cruz was the person that fired up the audience with a speaking style that mimics an evangelical preacher. Cruz was the speaker who - to the delight of the audience - refused to be ruffled by the several immigration-reform activists who heckled him during his speech. And Cruz was the one that Family Research Council President Tony Perkins called "a de facto leader of the Republican Party" in an interview with CNN.

Lead, Follow, or get out of the way....
I learned that lesson too late, but Ted Cruz didn't!
Hey there Becky Baby!
No, he is the leader of the CONSERVATIVE party. That’s why RINOS are attacking him.
Get yer terms straight, bimbo.
...the RATS are worried CRUZ is gaining popularity....the RINO’s are worried also. SO THEY (CBS) are putting him out front so the the crusty old RINO’s get their knickers twisted and “target” CRUZ for extinction....(CRUZ isn’t taking the RUBIO drink)
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
I like reading article about Ted Cruz but not from cBS.
He definitely should be. Get rid of Boner, and give this great man the position. He's earned it!
Ted Cruz - The new Speaker of the House.
I’d feel even better if Ted Cruz were the LEADER of a NEW PARTY.
Republican Party?
What the Hell is that?
Yes, he is. Dubya and Romney bugged out, leaving the field to a*holes like McCain, which is ‘unsustainable’.
Rove and the Bushes hate him because he challenged and beat their RINO candidate for the Senate seat.
He’s in the Senate — he should replace McConnell.
Now that you mention it, you hit it on the noggin!
W was, and always will be, a Texican.
You really gotta know that term to understand W.
Expat,
Not enough people nowadays, know what “bugged out” really means.
But you hit it right.
The rest of the gaggle of GOP politicians are out looking for their spine, guts, and gonads except, of course, for Gowdy, Gohmert, Lee who are patriots like Cruz.
Currently he seems to be the only leader in the party.
Being leader of the Republican Party is a losing proposition. The mutant snail who has legs and a brain can lead a herd of snails but it isn’t worth it. He can’t get them to move very much.
He is my leader.
