The Conservative Case for Ted Cruz: Most Consistently Conservative Candidate Running
Legal Insurrection ^ | January 27, 2016

Posted on 01/27/2016 8:00:31 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

Ted Cruz is intelligent, articulate, and well-prepared to defend and protect the Constitution as the next president of the United States. He entered the national spotlight during his contentious 2012 run for the Senate, but it’s worth taking a look at his resume because it highlights long-standing and staunch support of conservative principles...

Clearly, he’d be the most comfortable freeping through the years.

I believe Cruz is the most conservative. I believe even Trump supporters know that. They do not want that as much as they want to win. Election cycles change. This is chaos. Very exciting.

What has this have to do with Trump and how FNC has been mean to him?

Stay on the issues

I'm a Cruz supporter, but I have little doubt at this point that Trump will be the nominee (short some GOPe meddling, in which case it will be Rube or Yeb).

If Trump does just a few of things he is promising (restore the military, close the border, require states to honor carry licenses from other states, same as driver's licenses), then I'll be satisfied. I don't think he's a true conservative, but it doesn't (shouldn't?) take a true conservative to see the basic common sense in a strong military and secure borders, and a good business environment.

TPA? Corker Iran bill?? Goldman Sachs “loan”?

Sorry, but those don’t seem “conservative” to me.

You can see how excited he was by her. You could see it in his eyes. You could see it in his … wherever.

The dork back in town. I hope not for long.

But what in Cruz’s past makes him qualified to be president?

Given his track record up until the last six months, Trump will likely break most or all of his campaign promises.

Yes, I heard. Just ask Joe and Mika

I believe the feeling is mutual between them.

Mika used to love Christie till that bridge thing now she loves Trump,.

You may be familiar enough with Trump, to know that he does indeed see a sexual thing in many of his relations with women, business, entertainment and now political. He said all the female contestants on The Apprentice flirted with him. He talks about his days as a swinger, and his experiences with married women. He had some kind of thing going on with Megyn prior to the first Fox debate, perhaps anticipating that she would be a moderator of a presidential debate in which he would participate.

He can run until he drops, but too bad—Cruz is constitutionally unable to serve as prez or VP per Article 2, section 1, clause 5.

As time goes by and he is further vetted, the Framers’ wisdom becomes clear: Ted’s a good man, all-in-all, and might make a good cabinet secretar ... but not US Attorney General since he doesn’t understand (or respect) the US Constitution.

We’ve barely survived seven years of another foreign-born scoff law, but Cruz’s fanatical supporters refuse to see this—like the Obamanites, like you GGG.

US Grade A, born in the USA, an American success story.
Restore the rule of law. Vote for an American. VOTE TRUMP!

If cruz skipped the debate, no one would care. That’s how irrelavent cruz is.

Last night she showed a clip of him from a few years ago telling her that she was the best of journalists.

Your theory is believable.

Her ‘pigs and dogs’ question dumped ice cold water on that.

However Mika might be available and willing for him. A bit older and not nearly as good looking, but she's not fat or ugly.

I just don’t think he can win the general. You have to have some charisma in the digital age.

There's a Freeper I admire who's running for President -- EternalVigilance is his handle, and Tom Hoefling is his name. Tom's running because none of the big-name GOP or Democrat candidates come close to representing his views on matters he considers vital to preserving the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

I was delighted when Cruz spoke up on the Senate floor castigating McConnell. But Sen. Cruz doesn't come close to meeting my minimum criteria for support -- which for me includes demonstrating that a candidate would uphold his or her oath of office to support the Constitution of the US. For example, Cruz says that children in the womb are persons, but he supports legislation that codifies depriving some of these persons of their life without due process. That's even a step in wrong direction from Roe v Wade opinion, which states that if the fetus is a person, then of course the 14th Amendment protections would apply to them.

I ask all Freezers: do you have a minimum standard for support, or do you try to choose the best from the candidates raised up by others? I urge you to consider raising up a candidate who represents your views on all the topics you consider non-negotiable. Check out tomhoefling.com

Oops - I didn't proofread that reply well enough. I meant Freepers, not Freezers. And BTW, Tom is being interviewed by Bob Enyart of Denver this afternoon, starting at 5pm ET. You can listen live at KGOV radio. And twice a week, you can join in with Tom, me and other God-fearing, liberty-loving, Constitution-conserving Americans on a real town hall-style conference call. We call it "America's Summit: Restore the Republic". It starts every Tuesday and Thursday night at 9pm ET. Dial-in number is 712-432-3566,,,340794#

The difference between a Cruz supporter and a Trump supporter is that Cruz supporters will go to the polls and vote for Trump if he gets the nom. The Trump supporters are mostly former Paulbots and fanatics who will gladly give us 8 more leftist years of Hillary or Bernie if their boy Don doesn’t make the ballot. Because they love America so much, apparently.
