You made no case you just slung mud and ran.

I on the other-hand made a case:

If you believe then you stand by that belief and the there is no threat.

If you don’t believe then there is nothing and no one to threaten you.

You made the claim of threat I merely asked you to prove it.

Nothing if he really were!

But this is not being against it, it supports it:

"I know this doesn't sound very Conservative. We gotta take care of everybody, not just the people up here. We gotta take care of everybody. Okay! Get used to it, Conservatives. I love you, Conservatives. Get used to it. Let's take care of everybody, please."

Its not government's job to pay everyone's bills

As the debates go on, Ted will get more time, and his popularity will steadily climb. The Donald's act will get old unless he starts talking substantively about policy.

Barnum and Bailey were a team.

Cruz needs to steer clear of Trump.

The real Donald will burst out eventually.

I think that we do need to try to take care of everyone, but not through taxes. There is always a place for charity.

With a Trump/Cruz ticket Cruz might be able to curb Donald's liberal tendencies.

Do you think Trump going to take advices from Ted Cruz?

 

 

Really. And does anyone think Cruz would align himself with the likes of Trump?

A lot of people on the right were saying that if Obama was not born in the USA then he is not a Natural Born Citizen. The left is going to use the hypocrisy of the right in going after Obama but defending Cruz who was not born in the USA to great effect. The left even went after McCain because he was not born in the USA. But that was ridiculous since his father was an officer in the US Navy, his mother was a US citizen and he was born (IIRC) at and US Naval Base Hospital in Panama.

Better get prepared for this line of attack, it is coming.

2Thessalonians 3:

[10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
[11] For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
[12] Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
[13] But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
[14] And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
[15] Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

[[Ever hear Trump say anything bad about Cruz?
Ever hear Cruz say anything bad about Trump?
Ever wonder why?]]

It’s because Cruz stands to pick up all the disgruntled voters who are going for trump when trump flames out or gets torn down by some scandal-

Cruz is much like trump inthat he commands the respect of people who are fed up with businesss as usual in government, only cruz is a professional while trump is a one shot wonder who will likely fizzle out as people begin to realize he really isn’t presidential material

There is no hypocrisy. Cruz was born with American citizenship to an American mother.

[[It’s just a question of my perception of him I guess.]]

the problem with Cruz is is his delivery- how he presents his ideas- people are turned off by him because he comes across as a used car salesman- he really does- just the way he presents himself gives that impression to a lot of people

unfortunately people are more interested in appearances than they are about actual facts and positions.

Mr Cruz is the most qualified person running, the smartest person running- and is the absolute right choice for president because he is them ost conservative patriot running- Yet sadly his presentation is hurting him because people perceive him as ‘trying to pull one over on us’ simply because of the way he presents himself

It’s the smile after everything he says I think that have people not trusting him like they should- Sadly this country is incapable of looking at a man’s record and voting on substance- IF they would just do that they would see a man who truly loves this country, a man who is prepared to fight for US, and a man who hates big government and WILL do everything he can to brign the power BACK to WE the people!

He’s for Canadian style health care which is just as bad

Yes it is. I have been saying all along that these 2 are working together to fight against the Establishment. Right now they are concentrating on Donald trying to get rid of him but it is not working. Just imagine their reaction when Donald wins and he brings aboard Ted Cruz as VP. I would love to see the reaction on the faces of Turtleface McConnell, John Bonehead, Linda Graham, and Juan McPain.

nope- you can look up the debate and subsequent interviews with trump- He’s stated that several times now by saying “It works wonderfully” in socialist country’s like Canada and Europe- He loves the universal healthcare system-

(We are talking about trump, right?) He has high praise for government run healthcare in those country’s (because he’s never had to be sent home with an infection to wait for several days because the system is so overwhelmed that you simply can not get in- I’ve known several people who ended up in emergency situations because of this supposed ‘wonderful’ healtch care- Trump hasn’t got a freakin clue if he thinks it’s a wonderful system!)

I guess you got me there. If someone can’t work, they should starve. Charity is only for those who don’t need it.

Very Christian of you, I’m sure.
