And Matthew Rozsa tell us that “Googling ‘Ted Cruz lies’ pulls back an astonishing 7,890,000 results

Is that the measure? Well, then...

LOL…the hilarious laugh line in this ludicrous piece is “liberals are open-minded.” Just look at how open minded the Left is about guns, abortion, immigration, government spending, taxation, education, religious freedom, homosexual marriage, etc. Check out the voting records of Clinton’s and Obama’s Supreme Court appointees to see how many times they have voted with the conservative members of the court.

This Leftist shill teaches someone’s children at Penn St. and rants at Salon. She accuses Ted Cruz of not knowing he’s lying as he explains a thousand years of history and government to brainwashed university products like herself, who know nothing but regurgitated Marxism. It’s like watching “Water’s World” imbeciles showing their proud ignorance to the world.

[Cruz is the only one who has the brains, the principles and the experience to save this country]

TED CRUZ stands on Truth as in (And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32)

The world doesn’t except the truth. It never has. It never will. This battle for POTUS will be won on our knees.

Cruz has executive experince in that the was the solicitor general of Texas and directed 4000 employees and 700 lawyers in that job. The job of President and that of a governor are very different and are facilitated in a completely different way. The President works through his Cabinet. Truth is, the only way to get experience as President is on the job. Cruz’s most qualifying characteristic is Leadership. He was born to lead and his genius I.Q. is just another gift that aids him in doing that. If you like his policies, you can believe he will follw through.

Global warming was the first “lie” she mentioned. More guns less crime was another. She is the delusional one.

I want a divorce from these people. We have nothing in common except our human form.

He also improved Texas by beating Dewhurst for Senate, spilling blood in the water that directly led to him also being defeated in a FOUR person GOP primary for Lt. Gov. two years later.

Dan Patrick now holds the most powerful elected position in Texas. Say what you want about Lt. Gov. Patrick: he’s not establishment.

And then there’s Texas Monthly moaning about so many Tea party GOP primary opponents running against establishment candidates because Sen Cruz’ candidacy gave them the idea they can win.

Ted Cruz did that. He has vastly improved retail politics at the State level. His election has transformed Texas politics. That’s exactly what we need at the national level.

Boy, I sure hope you all were able to persevere to this, one of my favorite lines, that almost always seems to show up in these lefty articles.

“To put it simply, part of what it means to be liberal is to be open-minded. That means liberals are open to information that might change a perception. In contrast, conservatives are defined as resisting change and as emotionally attaching more strongly to their beliefs.”

It’s just that conservatives know that there are some things that can’t be changed - ever, and liberals don’t. Romans 1:18 - 32 is full of examples of this and Psalm 2 tells part of the conclusion of liberals “open mindedness” and the certainty that there are NO absolutes.

Liberals believe that water “could be dry,” fire “applied directly to your skin “could take that sunburn right away,” wrinkles and graying hair “could be signs you’er getting younger (they actually made a whole move about this),” people who shout, “Death to America!” “could be wishing their best intentions towards us”, and my personal favorite, saved for last - sin “could lead to righteousness - but certainly not death or eternal separation from God.” Just a few quick examples.

As a VP I think he’d be great, better than great. Perhaps then progressing to President. But I still want (and need) to read more about him and everyone else

If I lived in Illinois, there is no way I would vote any former governors from recent years, too much corruption.

Being unsure about Ted in the heat of the battle ?

Rather go down in defeat with a leader who to some maybe untested, but loves his troops, than a snake who is a seasoned warrior, but stabs his troops in the back.

Now is not the time to be unsure or sit on the fense.

Either you choose Ted Cruz, or you choose someone else.

Many could not even make up their minds right before the elections.

as for others and I ?

We have already made up our minds, and we will lay on our swords as a figure of speech , if we have to, go down in defeat if we have to for our cause.

Now is the times that test men’s souls.

Not only does Cruz have more experience and knowledge (he’s much more intelligent) than O, he is not as “extreme” as O.
Cruz is a good choice to un-do what O has done to our country in just SIX years.
