It seems to me the only principled reason to be a Republican would be to stop, thwart and defeat Leftist ideas you’re opposed to. Therefore, what better standard by which to judge Republican presidential candidates than by who is the most committed to actually defeating the opposition?
And who might that candidate be in 2016? Well, according to the man from whom much of today’s conservative multimedia empire originates, that candidate is Ted Cruz.
“If you’re looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism, whose agenda is oriented towards stopping it, thwarting it, and defeating it – it’s Ted Cruz,” Mr. Limbaugh recently said on his popular radio program.
Let the record show that as usual, Rush is right.
In fact, I challenge anybody reading this to make an objective case there is a more principled candidate in the race than Mr. Cruz — because you can’t. I also work for an organization called Conservative Review, which gives regularly scheduled proctology exams to the records of politicians by charting how they vote on a full spectrum of conservative issues via our “liberty scorecard.” Mr. Cruz currently has our second-highest score at 96 percent, which is second only to Mike Lee.
Except Mr. Cruz does not just settle for voting the right way when it’s all said and done, but he fights back on our behalf against the corruption infesting Washington as well as the “losership” of the Republican Party.
...
Here is the bottom line: If someone doesn’t have a proven history of fighting the corruption in Washington before getting elected, that probably means they’re unlikely to do it after they reach the White House.

It was a lucky result of an internet search, LOL...can’t take any credit at all. Please feel free to spread it around.
Face it... some plain old don’t WANT to admit this, but Ted Cruz IS THE MOST conservative candidate we can vote on.......period!!! GO TED GO!!
What a awesome photo!!!
For Conservative Review ratings, they are compiling many years worth of actions, not one year, to prevent career politicians from voting conservatively on their re-election year to bump their ratings in order to fool their constituents back home.
I'm just doing it for the lurkers out there.
Never underestimate the fickle public and their desire for bread and circuses

The detractors need to ask Levin and Limbaugh why they think Cruz is so great.
The 2nd amendment is about maintaining the 1st amendment. That appears to sail over Trump's head. Cruz being a Constitutionalist, I wager connects the two amendments to each other. That rates a green dot for Cruz on the 2nd Amendment, in my book.
Coming from a Trumpster, the irony in that statement is rich, thick, and delicious.
Isn't there a thread where you can roll on your back in ecstasy over your celebutard candidate?
I just spread to my 950 Facebook friends. :) I have a lot of Ted supporters there and on Twitter. :)
I havent been able to find anyone around here who ..in the R column... who would vote for that boiserous guy from NYCt
Are we picking candidates based on looks now?
If we are, Trump is definitely out of the running.
Amen.
And you, as is often the case, don't have a clue what you're talking about.
To learn about leadership, I suggest you read Cruz's book. It would benefit you to become educated on the cases he has argued, the repercussions his efforts have had on other states, and his successful stands against Bush's attempts to circumvent the Constitution.
Now, admittedly, Cruz has never told anyone to eat their cookies and milk, or told them it was nappy time, so if that's the kind of thing you're looking for...well, there's always Trump.
It’s a good one, isn’t it?
Cruz is running the same kind of campaign that won him his Senate seat. He’s in this for the long haul.
Very true. We see it happening now, in spades.
Funny thing I’ve noticed...some of them really don’t like it when the topic turns to principles.
