Look me up in six months and see who I’m pulling for. You are more than welcome.

I’m actually starting to enjoy his obstinancy: it’s making me realize more and more the implications and ramifications of this attempted trap by the CAIR hecklers at the speech.

ALL Nation’s, (even, or, especially, our) politicians have to ‘respect’ their citizenry’s anti-Semitism or lose support at the polls. Ted Cruz makes his alliance clear and unmistakable, and NO politician wants his Isaeli Alliance compared to Cruz’.

France is pushing their Jews out openly.

This Ted Cruz supporting t(r)oll is claiming France is the savior of Christianity. Like Wardaddy said, American Jews ain’t voting for Ted Cruz.

You know a man by his words and fruit. T(r)oll must be an Israel-hating ‘Christian’. Does Pat Buchanan FReep and I missed it?

Again, you respond with accusations rather than fact. You are failing to prove Ted right. Friends offer shelter in a storm.

Telling the truth about Arabs and their responsibility for the ailing state of most Arabs is quite Christian. How astute of you, despite your twisted mindset.

Your lack of knowledge regarding the History of the people called Arabs is showing.

What is actually scary is how Freepers do what you’re attempting

I’ve seen it before with Bush II....Sarah... Cain

A bit with Carson and now with Cruz

Cruz is my first pick.... has been for two years now...even over Palin

I think he got sandbagged here given the name of the group...and reacted by labeling his detractors anti Semites

And I question that entire scenario

First time so far since following Cruz

BTW....I am oldish

My fears are death of a child.....my wife leaving me and my own impending doom

Going broke too...that scares me

That’s about it

What Ted Cruz does is not important enough yet in the grand scheme if things to scare me

But ive noted the cult of personality infallibility you’re trying is alive and well

Proof you are an operative and not grass-roots.

Ted Cruz went on Megyn Kelly’s show after the speech and re-stated his reasoning for walking away from the Anti-Semites.

If you are a friend of Ted, why not ask him why he’s wrong? I’m sure he’ll have a few paragraphs for you.

By the way, in your poster, is the cigar pointed up or down away from his nose to avoid smoke in his eye?

My heart is pro Israel so I can take few arrows. Ted was not accurate.

He was certainly accurate in this venue, which gave shelter and voice to Hezbollah and Islamic extremism. These pseudo-Christians (or stealth radicals) at the conference chose to align with Hezbollah and perpetuate the blind hatred of Israel/Jews, along with anyone critical of Islam.

That sounds more like my enemy then my Christian brothers and sisters. What say you?

Its a bit early to be calling Ted a statesman BE

I mean....he’s my favorite too...but I think he waded into this not knowing this group wasnt going to rah rah Israel to his degree

So he called them anti Semites and walked off

This group applauded his first pro Israel remarks then got irritated as he kept at it ...according to article...

What’s the point in picking a fight with old Christian Arabs still miffed over grievances from 60 years ago?

I fail to see the idealistic point or political capital point

Which leads me to guess he thought given their name they would be fellow travelers about Israel

And they were largely...up to a point

I just don’t believe his staff said let’s go find some pissed off Christian Arabs to agitate and call anti Semites.....

Doesn’t make sense

Folks here keep saying truth

Is Ted Cruz now the arbiter of anti semitism?

Hmmmmm...not for me

Some people can’t realize Cruz is trying to save the America his detractors miss actually living in. Inexplicable.

They judge POTUS candidates with an American Idol or Sons of Anarchy mindset, mindless of the implications of what the Left has actually done and is will accelerate doing to destroy their America.

The left is frantically polling on this TRAP of a speech, and very soon will drop the matter altogether when they realize Ted has woken a sleeping Giant... but it’ll be too late.

Thanks, Left!
