Cruz: ‘I ain't running to manage Washington. I’m running to change Washington’
Livestream.com ^ | June 27, 2015 | Ted Cruz

Posted on 06/27/2015 4:48:03 PM PDT by MN_Mike

At an Iowa campaign rally Saturday, Ted Cruz's message to the faithful was, "Believe again." Cruz told the crowd at Drake University in Des Moines that the Washington Cartel's game is rigged, and the elites aim to keep it that way. But he said that the power of the people can defeat the cartel: "The game is rigged, and they want to keep it that way. People know it is happening and feel helpless to change it. But 'we the people' have a choice," the U.S. Senator and GOP presidential candidate said. His speech was frequently interrupted by applause, chants and cheers, but the line which got the most enthusiastic response was, "I ain’t running to manage Washington. I’m running to change Washington!"

CRUZ is this FREEPER’s No. 1 choice, if America has a chance. Why? He’s smarter than anyone, he’s not a bigot, he’s not a fool, he understands our country’s Constitution and he can WIN.

He should continue to set a good example and not say “ain’t” on the campaign trail.

Not enough to keep some here from trying to destroy him just the same.

He is way too intelligent, and doesn’t need to lower his standards for the LIVs.

Hey Ted, I agree...but:

That sounds annoyingly like O’bombers promise; to fundamentally change this country.

Ditto, ditto, ditto.....

I am making a contribution today.

If I make a contribution of $100 today can I be the embassador to Belize? Oh, wait. He's not a Democrat (and I don't have another four zeros to add to the contribution.)

Oh, well.

All very true. We the People CAN defeat the communists. We CAN make our enemies our footstool.

But since we can’t seem to ‘get it together’ on our own, we need a leader. A man who will lead us to the promised land - not do it for us - lead us. A leader who compels us believe because he believes.

Someone who fears no man and no woman. Only God.

“That sounds annoyingly like O’bombers promise; to fundamentally change this country.”

In all due respect to you that’s not the way I read him.

I see it as returning us to our rightful place in the world; once again being the land of the free and the home of the brave.
