U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows on Wednesday endorsed Ted Cruz for president, calling the Texas senator "the best-positioned leader to restore power to the people and uphold the Constitution."

"We are approaching a historic election that has the potential to fundamentally change our nation as we know it. Ted Cruz is the principled, conservative leader we need in the White House," Meadows said in a news release. "On issue after issue, Cruz has told the truth and done what he said he was going to do. It may not make him a lot of friends in Washington, but it is exactly what the American people expect of their leaders. Folks across this great nation are sick and tired of the Washington-way, and demand real change. Ted Cruz is the best-positioned leader to restore power to the people and uphold the Constitution at this historic moment in time."

"I've worked closely with Ted on a number of issues from pro-Israel initiatives to fighting for school choice, and I know that he always puts the interest of the country first," Meadows added in the statement. "That's his consistent record. I am proud to join with the millions of conservatives coalescing around his campaign, coming together to force Washington to finally listen to the American people. I look forward to working with Ted in North Carolina and around the country to make him the next President of the United States."

"You'd be hard-pressed to find a more principled conservative in the House than Mark Meadows," Cruz said. "He has been a champion for limited government and has the battle scars to prove it. As a small businessman, he is acutely aware of the challenges men and women face in the Obama economy and is going to be a tremendous voice for us on the campaign trail. I am thrilled to have Mark's support and am eager to have his help in the Tar Heel state."

How can one vote for a man that campaigns with the lunatic Glen Beck. If this is who Cruz picks as friends I want no part of him.

Nice, I hope Congressman Walter Jones follows suit sooner or later (though I know he’s also friends with Rand Paul).

The same way some people could vote for a serial adulterer — and a man who would be the first president to have owned a strip club (even Obama didn’t pull that one off). And, in addition, also vote for someone who abridges property rights (by supporting the Kelo decision), been a Democrat for much of his life, and has supported partial-birth abortion and gun control. Boy, his flips and flops are amazing. Glen Beck is nothing compared with what Donald Trump is himself.

How can anyone think Cruz is anything but brilliant. No grunts there. I have to go play back the video as I missed the first speakers that were on.

GO TED CRUZ......
