*PING* Ted Cruz to be “thanked” in TV ad campaign airing this Thanksgiving Day on NFL Football and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

[A CA Guy]

Lots or thanks by chance from Karl Rove and John McCain?

Why are almost all the ad buys in Texas?

[Impeach98]

For Thanksgiving we start in Texas - since the media was obsessing over where Cruz's poll numbers ranged in Texas following Obama's government shutdown (and also compared to Cornyn's poll numbers) and then we'll do states outside of Texas for New Year's Eve, as we'll be buying time in the New Years Eve countdown to Midnight Shows as the ball drops in Times Square.

This Thanksgiving buy in Texas is Stage 1.

I think I’d be worried if Rove and McCain thought this was a good ad campaign. What they are ‘thankful’ for, and what we all in the conservative grassroots are thankful for are two very different things.

This Thanksgiving buy in Texas is Stage 1.

Inasmuch as I admire what Cruz did, I think this style of advertising is more effective at raising money than it is at helping him convince those we need to reach. It's long on glowy adulation and short on information. My bet is an effective ad would do you better and it would only take 30 seconds, costing a half as much or reaching twice as many markets:

28 hour work weeks, higher insurance prices, millions lost health coverage, illegal waivers for the politically connected, no-bid contracts for a web site that doesn't work, a complete lack of privacy, massive bureaucracy, forcing the middle class onto Medicaid, a $5000 advantage for hiring illegals...

All of this when the Democrats promised us ObamaCare would be better and cheaper.

Ted Cruz warned us about ALL of this. Yet when the media were done with it all you heard about was "Green Eggs and Ham."

Get the truth about ObamaCare. Go to tedcruz.org (or some such).

Run it in swing states. What the group from which you are posting is doing, is risking looking like an ad agency hustling cash flow from the choir for feel-good commercials that don't work. In my opinion, they will alienate the people you need to bring over. I know you don't want to hear that, but it's just my opinion.

I was right about Arnold and his ballot propositions.

YESSSS!!!

We disagree on strategy.

Our strategy is to head off the efforts by the GOP establishment to make Ted Cruz "radioactive."

That's what they are trying to do with Cruz, with Lee, with Justin Amash. Only thing is that they probably never conceived ObamaCare would turn out to be as bad as it's been on so many fronts.

You'd be amazed - or perhaps you wouldn't - at how many conservatives and even tea partiers have felt scared off that they can't publicly support Cruz because he did so much damage to the GOP and the conservative movement, blah, blah, blah...

So who our target audience is people who should be pro-Cruz, or at least receptive to his message, who have been scared off by those who want to push the Tea Party out of the GOP for good.

Given that Matt Bevin just completely blew out McConnell in a Kentucky Republican straw poll, perhaps those fears are overblown media creations.

Thank you so much for the ping!


Special Ping to Sarah Palin's Awesome Ping List!!!

[Carry_Okie]

We disagree on strategy.

Yup. Best we not let the MSM define our strategy. Cruz isn't.

Here is that data on Bevin: Matt Bevin Takes over 80% of Vote in Kentucky Straw Poll. He didn't win by just a bit.

*PING* Ted Cruz to be “thanked” in TV ad campaign airing on Thanksgiving holiday.

You got it. Love that pic of Cruz and Palin from CPAC. Palin’s speeches at CPAC are for me the highlights. I’m glad she’s going there now (after deliberately avoiding it earlier on).

[MestaMachine]

This is fantastic. We be Cruzin’ here in PA.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Thank you for the ping and yep, what’s not to love about that photo?!

I thank Senator Cruz on twitter every day!

[onyx]

I thank and follow him on Face Book!

[bramps]

Walking the walk. THANK YOU!

[Guenevere]

God bless your efforts!

This Florida family loves Ted Cruz!

[expat_panama]

tnx fer the ping!

We need to keep reminding TX freepers about the March open primaries so Cruz can become the senior TX senator.

I wish those in the so called republican party would follow suit,I know that’s asking too much.
