Lame duck sessions need to come to a screeching halt.

Loser of elections need to be ousted from power as soon as their election is called.

States should amend constitution as such.

Lame duck sessions are being exploited by our power mad, dishonest government.

If your taking Flack, it means your over the target. Go Cruz! wait til the GOP controls things! I expect some real change soon. OR—if not—it will be time for us to make new party! Liberty Party!

If Cruz continues to concentrate on those things that are important to Americans, he has great chance. None of the other parties GOPe or Dem. want to do that at all. JEB not withstanding, they will all run from talking about amnesty, jobs, taxes, Obamacare and getting govt. out our your business.

If the GOPe talks about those things at all, they will lie. He should continue to call them out on their lies.

I wish I could believe that.

Very sadly America has become a country of lies, filled to the brim with liars.

America has fallen so far in love with the lie that America has become a lie.

Too many folks here seem to think that the Republicans with the election results will actually change things. Really?

We have one party pushing Socialism and the other party pushing big business or maybe call it big donors. Actually, both parties actions seem to blend these days. Money is their goal.

The folks in the middle - you and me, the voter are simply screaming at both parties with little effect. They know that the Democrat voters are too stupid to change and the Republican voters are too commercial to change so there you go..

Just how many years of voting for either party will get you the results that you expect? Do you really believe any of the politicians? You know by history that they continue to say one thing and do another so why are you voting for them?

It’s either time for a political revolution or maybe a public revolt to change things! It seems that it is NOT going to happen by itself. I love Cruz but just how is this one man going to change things without massive support?

He is the ultimate enemy of all politicians! How to change the other 99% of Washington is the key.

Do you think that “the powers that be” will become concerned with the Constitution's standards for a President in that he has to be a “natural born citizen”? Ted was born in Canada; held dual citizenship until a couple of years ago; mother was an American; father was a Cuban, becoming a naturalized citizen in about 2005. His name is being bandied about as a candidate, he's collecting money, but I can just see the NY Times, et. al., at the last minute becoming enraged, shocked, etc. that someone not born in America is about to become president.

Cruz is the shining light that exposes the spineless, complicit cockroaches and they hate him for it.

I don’t think R’s will make an issue of Ted’s place of birth.

If I understand the situation, he was born to an American mother who happened to be out of the country for Ted’s birth and that Ted is NBC.

As for the NY Times...who the heck knows w/ that group? What I have noticed is that the NYT does not have the power it used to have in forming public opinion.

Well I now know how you get double posts. Sorry about that. My two cents was certainly not worthy of two dang postings.

12 Lou Dobbs had a disgusting rant on Cruz tonight. Declared his show as being a “Cruz free zone” I was appalled and won’t be watching him again.

Just started getting FBN this year on cable and was really warming up to Lou Dobbs when I saw that WED night. I am with you now - no Lou for me.

My problem is is that I kinda want to watch him tonight to see if he reverses or says anything due to emails and complaints. On the other hand, I don’t want to turn it on.
