"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

I would put the emphasis on sealing the border. Vast majorities want this, democrats fight it and amnesty is just too messy.

[RIghtwardHo]

Well, if that’s the case, do NOT vote GOPE. They are the biggest danger.

[Tailback]

This is a very smart move. This issue is a near 70% issue across the board. There are even dems that are anti amnesty/illegal immigration. I have a co-worker that’s a commie lesbian. She collected signatures to get a ballot measure in Oregon to not allow illegals to get drivers licenses.

This could even scrape off one half of one percent of the African American vote.

[Mariner]

It's time for Ted Cruz to be clear about what he would do with the 12mil or so illegals that are here now.

He says "no amnesty". Fine.

Legal status, or not? Will he deport those whom LEO encounters? Will he cut them off from all benefits via legislation he will sponsor and advocate?

Yes, or no?

[LongWayHome]

This is the “national question” everything else is secondary. We are being replaced by a new people. Let what’s left of the American people have a say on this finally. Smart move by Cruz...who I back 100%.

[GOPJ]

It's a winning issue for us. Americans are sick of open borders and the lies about ‘multiculturalism’...
