What Cruz has accomplished is nothing short of spectacular.

He has single handedly put the business as usual crowd on their collective asses and turned the system on it's head and is laying waste to the status quo, armed with nothing but principle and courage.

And you compare him to Obama???

He is Sampson with a jawbone destroying the Philistines. A political Rambo.

Keep your eye on this one, it might just open.

Walker has a real problem with Comprehensive Immigration Reform and Amnesty.

Well you have a point. I just find Cruz to be Obama in many ways….the gift to gab and one term Senator. We used to forbid Senators from running or at least that was our hope. We need a Governor this time to win because we need someone who has accomplishments. But again you are right with your assessment.

And then you try to add insult to injury and CEMENT NathanBedford's point.

I see the campaign for President has begun.

You're just now realizing that? Where have you been?

The Establishment trolls have already begun posting on Free Republic.

So what exactly did I say that was wrong? A President Cruz could compromise? The Democrats won't filibuster everything he proposes? Can you be more specific please?

I’m trying to understand the point the poster is presenting, in that we need one with experience.
So to that point, the GOPe put up Romney, who clearly had experience. They put up McCain, another who had experience. They tried Dole, definately had experience.

I say we go with a man who has honesty and integrity, and yes, a level of experience that is tangible.

No one is going to change naps mind, it’s clear as day.

That's just plain offensive.

You are comparing a man who lied about who he was, hid what he really believed, and pretended he would do what he never intended to do, with what appears to be a principled conservative, one who wants to put conservative principles in to place, one who HAS actually stood for his beliefs, one who loves everything about America and stands for its founding principles.

I wouldn't mind if Walker was our nominee, but your ridiculous comparison is just odious........

Reagan was willing to work with the Democrats and to compromise.

Actually, that's not a true description of what Reagan did.

Reagan convinced the American public that conservative ways were what should be implemented to fix the problems we faced. The public let the dems know they agreed with Reagan. Reagan took every inch he possibly could from them, winning the vast majority of what he wanted. He talked with them, he lobbied with them, but never really WORKED with them the way you are describing.

I see no reason why Cruz couldn't do that as well.

You don't think the political climate in this country hasn't changed over the past three decades? The Democrats, and a percentage of the Republicans, in Washington would rather eat their own young than work with a President Cruz.

Of course the climate has changed. You miss the point. There is an opening the same size as Reagan walked through, which is the failure of the leftist agenda that is clear and obvious right now. A person capable of explaining conservatism to all of America, reminding everyone of the failures of liberalism, within this clear window, could be very effective.

The idea that you can't persuade America to back conservative principles by winning the argument over truth is naïve.

” - - - “In the 13 months I’ve been in the Senate it has become apparent to me the single thing that Republican politicians hate and fear the most … is when they’re forced to tell the truth. It makes their heads explode,” Cruz told conservative radio host Mark Levin. “The Republicans members of the Senate, they all wanted the perfect show vote.” - - - “

Yup. Well said Senator Cruz, well said.

Now if only a Republican US House Member would say something similar about the US House of Representatives, the Republican Party could shed its obsolete RINO ball and chain, and FINALLY give the voters a real choice in 2014!

Ted Cruz seems to be.. "a man with a PLAN."

Up to this point he's won my allegiance.
