He's fighting the D.C. establishment and God love him for it, a true hero in my books.

Cruz is all alone taking on the media, RINOs, Democrats and other very powerful evils in this world. He doesn't deserve nor should he be required to endure backstabing by conservatives as well.

JRF, I was Navy and mess duty was the absolute pits. Even still today, I cook my mash potatoes with the skin on. I’ve peeled enough potatoes for 10 lifetimes.

But, on the same token as a fellow Texan, thanks for voting Cruz. I, so hope, Cornyn goes down. Have you seen the friendly Dewhirst adds lately. I guess he figured slinging massive amounts of sludge don’t work.
In my life, I’ve never seen such a negative campaign as Dewhirst did with Cruz.

Absolutely right. Just like Palin, Cruz is like a barometer for me. The two of them weed out the phoneys and pretenders by the reactions they receive.

Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it’s not so subtle. I well remember way back, when Chris Christie was first on the scene and still getting conservative applauds, someone questioned him about Palin. He reacted by contorting his face into a silly “gag-me-with-a-spoon” expression. All the evidence I needed.

Anyone ragging on Cruz or Palin is someone I know not to trust one single iota.

As a career military guy who learned that teamwork builds strength, I view Cruz as a self serving individual, totally void of principle. I would not want a person like this in my unit.

There are leaders, and there are followers. Ted is one of the former. You appear to be one of the latter. My bet is your main motivation for being in the military was that big fat pension when you left.

I have a question. Whatever happened to the National Review? There was a time that magazine was on the vanguard of conservative thought. Now, it behaves like Pravda to the political establishment.

IIRC, Sen. Cruz was born in Canada to American parents who were transferred there by his father’s employer.

I have been reading your comments for some time.
Is there any current politician that you believe in?

It’s time for you to retire from the internet...looks like you wouldn’t recognize a patriot if he bit you in the ass. Did you even read the article? You HAVE to be in it for yourself just to survive. Because of people like you...he can’t trust anyone.

True enough. However since his mother is a born US citizen, he is a US citizen and could constitutionally run for POTUS if he so desires. That fact has been well established.

He will never cave on the AMNESTY issue as he puts our Constitution above political expediency each and every waking moment.

We'll see. So far so good.

Turn off the TV and get out of the house. Join your local Tea Party and try to learn something new with that old retired army brain of yours. Ted knows teamwork just fine. . he also knows a leader doesn’t just do things based on prediction of results. . .he acts on principle. .i.e. because it’s RIGHT!. . .Heck, you probably said the same thing about George Washington when you were serving under him.

His only agenda is the advancement of Ted Cruz.

And you know this because?

That kind of derogatory statement with no proof, no evidence is flat out disgusting.

Do you really believe that? If you do, kindly seek help. I'm thinking more likely you are a troll for another candidate, or hopelessly ignorant.

Other than that, you're probably fine.

I was close—imagine that—LOL!

I really really like this man. I’ve spent some time with him, and as far as I can tell, he’s the real deal.

Another thing I like about him is that he is willing to go to places in Texas that don’t have a huge turnout—but he’s very approachable and will look you in the eye when he speaks with you.

He turned our for “Second Amendment Day” over in Austin, and gave the keynote address. That was the first time I have ever heard him speak. The event was held on the Capitol grounds in Austin, which is usually a pretty noisy place.

After he had spoken about 5 minutes, everyone was shushing the crowd so we could hear every word.

Also, I do think he’s a good speaker—sorta cuts to the chase, then sits down and shuts up. He was very approachable for all who wanted to speak with him-—and I do have a nice photo of him and I.

I had on my Second Amendment Sister shirt that says: “Firearms! The Ultimate in Feminine Protection”.

He loved it—LOL!

Thanks to all of you who flamed Old Retired Army Guy so eloquently. What an idiotic post from someone who knows NOTHING about Cruz or conservative principles and has probably been sent over from DU to stalk Cruz threads and post nonsense.

I guess he thinks that a “successful” politician is someone who “enacts legislation”. Well we need politicians who will BLOCK all the communist/socialist/fascitst legislation coming from the criminal enterprise in DC!!!! Not “enact” more spending/taxes/regulation/suffocating oppressive garbage on us!!!!

CRUZ 2016!!!
DONT MESS WITH TEXAS!!!

By the way, my dad was in the army for many years and would be ashamed of your posts and lack of knowledge about what constitutes a great constitutional representative!!!

Just as the lib/MSM continually bashed and ridiculed Reagan, they are doing the same to Cruz. Cruz seems to be our only hope.
