Ted Cruz-best vote I have ever cast in my life.
Rand Paul-one vote I will never cast in my life.
Rand Paul, just another example of apple/tree, he can ESAD.
For all the randpaul crazies, sameo-sameo.
The reason why you only hear Ted Cruz on the MS election, illegal immigration - any of the multiple scandals surrounding Obama is that the other potential contenders (Christie, Paul, Rubio, Romney - whatever wanna be third/fourth runner-up) do not want to upset the GOP (the ‘e’ isn’t needed any more) and lose all the behind-the-scenes election support and corruption.
This means IOWA, and it means New Hampshire. We’ve seen at least one sign of it in IOWA already; meddling in NH is yet to be seen.
Regardless of what happens in the two states, if I do not see a “Ted Cruz” on the ballot here in Georgia, then I’ll just not vote at all. I’ll sit it out as I should have done in 2012 when I pulled the lever for that coward Romney. No More. The GOP is dead to me.
Well done Mr. Ericson, well done. A highly refreshing read to start the day here at FR.
Hard not to become discouraged. You have to ask yourself, “Why would a person of integrity ever want to run for political office today?” given the corruption and pressure of a system that can very easily destroy you or compromise you beyond all recognition. There are still good people at the state level but at the Federal level something very sinister seems to happen to most all of them - and it definitely seem evil.
President Cruz.
I like the sound of that.
Cruz takes bullets from his own party for daring to challenge the system.
This sentence says VOLUMES about where our politics are today.
where are all the Freep Paul bots who have insisted for years that the Pauls were honest, earnest fighters for liberty and limited government???????? Some of us always said the bots were full of sh-t - now that it’s obvious, we can’t seem to find any of them……
They’re probably all spamming some online poll - a poll that will indicate that Rand will win the 2016 General Election 4 to 1.
One by one new senators have been co-opted, if they weren’t on their way already. Ron Johnson, Kelly Ayotte, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
Only Ted Cruz and Mike Lee stand with us. And the Establishment has systematically prevented any others from getting nominations in their states.
McDaniel is fighting and may prevail and the Kansas and Tennessee primaries are next month.
Cruz/west.2016!
Save America.
Screw Paul and McConnell. McCain lackeys.
Thanks for the posting
After only a cursory read of this Erickson piece I agree with Eric’s conclusions. Cruz is the only guy calling like it is. Rand Paul has wandered way off the conservative reservation and has gotten mired in a libertarian swamp.
Rand Paul is running as the anti-Republican. His goal is to destroy the Republican Party. Paul’s goal is to split the Party and take it over, by depressing voter turn out. Paul is trying to position himself as the Democrat’s Republican.
Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions, maybe David Vitter, are the only U.S. Senators whom you can count upon to stand for truth. Bob
IMO Rand Paul believes that he cannot win the GOP nomination without the GOP leadership backing so he is going all in with them in order to get nominated. I am now wary of Rand Paul for President not only due to his immigration position but he just seems to want to be President too badly.
You should not want to be President its a thankless job. You should only run for President because you believe you can help the country.
But who is following?
