As the Washington Post reported Friday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas is spending some of that $4 million plus in campaign cash he has raised since his announcement for the presidency and has bought time for his first televised campaign ad. The ad, entitled “Blessing,” is clearly aimed at faith-based voters, touting Cruz’s religious faith and the relationship between religion and the United States. The ad will run Good Friday nationwide on the Fox News Network during an airing of Bill O’Reilly’s “Killing Jesus” and in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada during an airing of “A.D.: After the Bible” on Easter Sunday.
The message of the ad is short and to the point:
“Were it not for the transformative love of Jesus Christ, I would have been raised by a single mom without my father in the household.”
“God’s blessing has been on America from the very beginning of this nation.”
“Over and over again, when we faced impossible odds, the American people rose to the challenge.”
“This is our fight, and that is why I’m running for President of the United States.”
“I’m Ted Cruz, and I approve this message.”
The ad buy comes at a time when Cruz, once thought to be a long shot for the Republican nomination, not to mention the presidency, has leaped to the top tier of GOP candidates, next to establishment favorite former Florida Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. That fact and Cruz’s raking in of campaign cash, mainly from small donors, has caused some in the media to rethink their assessment of the candidate, according to Hot Air.
The way Cruz has accomplished this feat is to stake out some mainstream conservative positions on foreign and domestic policy.

CRUZ or LOSE!Courtesy BUMP
Thanks EEE!
Meanwhile, the Dauphin and the Senorita are at home conversing in Spanish and plotting how he’s planned out stealing the nomination by giving this country away to Mexico and points south.
“Lefty heads popping like overripe pimples” BUMP!
“begins”?
MSM heads have been exploding since he announced including the neocon A-holes at Foxnews.
Ted’s appeal to the Christian right is duly noted and greatly appreciated. It will definitely factor into my decision and I suspect into the decisions of many others. Good move. Win or lose, good move.

LOL
I agree with you that Fox News too frequently has some barely disguised liberals in front of the camera who, at times, just can’t control themselves.
However, on the whole, Fox News, in contrast to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC and CBS, is a Ronald Reagan while all the alphabets are Barack Obama.
In the media world, US Conservatives are NEVER going to enjoy a full loaf
at a major network, in my opinion. Thus, when a Fox News comes along, we need to maintain “some” perspective.
Some perspective - in 1998, I saw Foxnews’ Bill O’Reilly for the first time. My jaw dropped - it was the first time anyone anywhere on TV was saying out loud what I believed.
I get Foxnews and appreciate their ability to put a conservative point of view in front of the camera.
That said, I have also been witness to presidential election after presidential election where Bill Kristol, Chris Wallace, Krauthammer et. al. have shown no interest in the convervative who sought to restore our constitutional republic.
I think the only two Cruz supporters on FNC are Andrea Tantaros and Kimberly Guillefoille. Maybe Bret Baier. Completely ditched FNC a while ago.
We need to keep pushing the hypocrisy of the media, accepting without question SOME lifestyles (gay) over others (Christian). Is America really tolerant? Or just bamboozled on its way down the Communist goal list?
If Americans have been taught that gay is ok, but Christianity is wrong, I’ve got news for libs. You have zero tolerance for alternative lifestyles.
Is the media powerful, or what? We need to keep showing people what has happened.
Monica Crowley supports Cruz.
BTW, anyone, like she did, who can go on a liberal show, or a liberal show disguised as a non biased or conservative show, such as IMUS, and say the would like to see Cruz run for or be president, supports Cruz.
Slim pickins’ on Fox. Kimberly, as you say, Andrea. Some of the Rox ‘men’ who might support Cruz, who have feminist wives are not allowed to verbally support Cruz. Theyre out.
And Hannity has been supportive of Cruz, as far as I know.
Of course, Hannity, forgot him.
He’s been good. Mark Levin doesn’t count as a Fox guy, he comes on at the begging of Hannity, so ...but he is very good on Cruz, of course.
And Rush is always right.
I love this statement: “... to stake out some mainstream conservative positions on foreign and domestic policy.”
“OR: We’re sure he doesn’t believe this stuff .. he’s just saying it to get attention”.
I THINK THAT’S HOW POLITICO SEE’S IT.
