No kidding. From what I read nowhere did Cruz ever say anything about using arms to unseat the current government. He only mentioned the hypothetical need to arm the nations’ citizens against tyranny, including from the government. So why did Graham fly off the handle over that? Says more about Graham than Cruz.

Scumbag George Clooney did the voice-over for a documentary on the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination in Dallas on PBS.

Clooney’s voice, at the start of the program, showed 1963 footage of the Dallas skyline, making the comment that it was a “right-wing” city. He was clearly implying that conservatives were responsible for JFK’s killing, instead of the communist Lee Harvey Oswald.

Clooney is a “pizza chit.”

That’s why there all are of the JFK Conspiracy Theories.

Ever notice how nobody questions if Hinckley acted alone when he shot Reagan?

Actually, I’ve read that the Hinckley and Bush families were close. That Reagan wanted to do something upopular to to the Texas oil industry and Hinckley’s dad was a big oil guy. Don’t shoot me, lol, I just read it a few weeks ago. Didn’t say I believed it. .

See, they are unrelenting in their attacks and subterfuge. We are not. We need to be. My brother basically told me just shut up and vote years ago. And worry about your family. But that’s not enough. And if you are worried about you family, you need to do more than just vote. I will be actively involved in Ted Cruz’ campaign if he wins primary. Although in this friggin city, NY, don’t know how much I can do.

Barry did not connect. Cruz is to Ronald Regan as Stevie Ray Vaughn was to Jimmy Hendrix.

I don't think anybody is buying this invented outrage crap, especially the lies.
Americans have proven their 2nd amendment appreciation and respect by making
Obama Gun Salesman of the Year, for six years running.

Stuff it Salon, keep throwing crap until something else sticks,
this one isn't sticking any longer.

“...to agree whether the Second Amendment serves as bulwark against government “tyranny.” “

They put “tyranny” in quotes even when it’s not being used subjectively. Cruz isn’t saying “start shooting these DC tyrants!”, he’s making a general statement of purpose. The media clowns simply don’t believe that government can ever be out of control.

"Barry did not connect. Cruz is to Ronald Regan as Stevie Ray Vaughn was to Jimmy Hendrix."

Wasn't thinking in terms of charisma... Just that anyone who gets into the political spotlight with a belief in individual freedom, self reliance, individual responsibility, and the original Constitutional Republic will be subjected to the standard attack techniques...
