Ted Cruz Just Launched His Iowa Campaign

National Journal ^ | January 24, 2015 | Tim Alberta and Shane Goldmacher

[proust]

Cruz is going to take on the establishment, right?

...his wife's occupation shows that he's not really an outsider.

[1010RD]

Putting down Walker doesn’t build up Cruz. It’s foolish.

Walker is a great conservative and so intelligent he outsmarted the Dems in a Dem state and won reelection three times in four years. You’ll have to dig to find a comparable for Cruz.

Walker’s a great communicator:

Why help Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and the RINO crowd by wounding a solid conservative with lies and misinformation?

[SoConPubbie]

Walker has top experience fighting for conservative principles at the local level. Cruz as top experience fighting for conservative principles at the national level.

This is key!

In spite of the false mantra that the executive experience of being a Governor makes one better prepared to be POTUS, which we have multiple historical points of proof that is not so, the truth is that Senator Cruz already has much more more national level experience than Governor Walker.

[SoConPubbie]

Putting down Walker doesn’t build up Cruz. It’s foolish.

No one is putting down Walker by talking about what he has done or standing him up next to Ted Cruz and comparing them to each other. Far from it.

You're letting your emotions get in the way of a logical discussion of a comparison of the relative merits of two potential GOP POTUS candidates.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

EXCELLENT

[SoConPubbie]

...his wife's occupation shows that he's not really an outsider.

So?

They tried to smear Christ as a wine-bibber because he hung out with sinners and publicans:

Mathew 11: 18-19

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.

Judge a man/woman by his actions, not the people he associates with. If you judge Ted Cruz by his actions, you cannot find a better candidate, from a conservative perspective among the ranks of the potential GOP POTUS candidates. He stands head and shoulders above the rest of them

Guilt by association is such a penny-ante slimy debating trick.

CRUZ or LOSE!

You just did exactly what you complained about. Don't be hypocritical.

Why help Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and the RINO crowd by wounding a solid conservative with lies and misinformation?

I believe Cruz is a better communicator than Walker. Don't lie by calling what I said a "lie".

[Balding_Eagle]

Your were belittling him yesterday.

Perhaps you’ve stopped, which is as it should be, and we can just move on.

[1010RD]

So presidential candidates with national experience are best?

Obama, Kerry, Algore, Hillary... the hits just keep on coming.

[1010RD]

Walker’s a better conservative candidate. He’ll prove it during the primaries.

[1010RD]

Cruz is a top communicator. Walker, not so much.

I gave you proofs that you're wrong about Walker's communications abilities.

Walker's a top communicator.

Cruz is a top communicator.

The science is settled, FRiend. Enjoy your Sunday.

[1010RD]

Why tear down Walker to build up Cruz? That’s weak.

Walker’s an excellent candidate and super intelligent. He’s done the hardest thing a conservative can do, win in a Dem state. He did it not once, but three times in four years.

Don’t disparage a good man. It harms your cause.

No he isn't and No, he won't. That horse already left the barn when Walker started moderating himself and his positions and running away from the conservative fight when he decided to run for POTUS:

Scott Walker to tea partiers: Let’s focus on taking out Democrats, not our fellow Republicans

Scott Walker Says Gay Marriage Ban is Part of 'a Healthy Balance' of Anti-Bias Laws in Wisconsin: VIDEO

Scott Walker: Gay Marriage Fight Is 'Over In Wisconsin'

Walker Says Legislature Shouldn't Focus On Right-To-Work Bill Next Session

You haven't seen Cruz walk away from the conservative fight.

CRUZ or LOSE!

[Balding_Eagle]

Why tear down Walker to build up Cruz? That’s weak.

The tearing down is a symptom.

The posters who are reduced to the tear down do so because they don't really believe in their own candidates abilities.

It's not more complicated than that.

[1010RD]

Walker stated emphatically that Wisconsin has a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. That’s from the video.

He commented on an anti-gay discrimination law passed thirty years ago by Democrats.

Stop disparaging a great man. It hollows your support for Cruz.

If Walker is the nominee, Cruz will absolutely support him. If Cruz is our nominee, Walker will do the same.

Stop being petty and silly. You’re spinning like a lieberal here.

[1010RD]

Spot on.

[FreeReign]

Why tear down Walker to build up Cruz? That’s weak.

I didn't "tear down" Walker.

Don't misrepresent what said.

[FreeReign]

The tearing down is a symptom. The posters who are reduced to the tear down do so because they don't really believe in their own candidates abilities. It's not more complicated than that.

Go find such a person who "tears down" and post to them.

[Balding_Eagle]

I have

[FreeReign]

You and the other poster came on to a Cruz thread saying that Walker is the best candidate.

I responded with a comparison.

I even said that Walker was a top fighter for conservatism at the local level. On other threads I've even said that I like Walker a lot and if it wasn't for Cruz that I would seriously consider Walker.

Yet you think I'm tearing Walker down. As I said go find somebody who is tearing Walker down and don't waste my time.
