RE: Cruz -
“He’s dead, Jim”
“And Mr. Cruz has fired off statements, both on Twitter and through his Senate office, pursuing some of his favorite policy issues, including bashing President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran...”
Then why did he vote for Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran? He must be a mental case — “somebody stop me!”
Remember his website entry, he voted for it so he could continue to speak against it?
LOL...spot on!
His psyc unit in Canada will only allow LyinTed visiting hours between 1-2 pm and phone hours from 3- pm, M-F!
They have a lot of serious work to prepare him to run for the Canadian PM job.
He has a lot of work ahead of him. Cruz blew up so many bridges at the convention that even if he does win renomination and reelection then it’s going to be a whole lot harder than it could have been
Thank you for not damning Cruz.
I’m voting for Trump. I also think it is not helpful for FReepers to continue to trash Cruz. We need former Cruz supporters to get Trump elected. Time to stop the vitriol and simply support Trump.
Is he and Amanda still doing their strategy sessions before her CNN analysis?
Pray America wakes
Thanks Jim.
I had been seriously considering discontinuing my support of FR because of all the folks “who know and hate” Ted Cruz and post to that effect. I was concerned that you may be one of them. I will continue my support.
I still believe Cruz is simply being the honest man of principle. He pitted himself against those who I consider to be of questionable honor, integrity and faith who were willing to create and perpetuate untrue memes to take down any and all opponents. (I understand the argument folks have regarding doing the right thing versus doing whatever is necessary to win... people of faith have to make that kind of choice, knowing that The Lord will sort it out His own way.)
I used to appreciate the Conservative Treehouse and Sundance’s analysis of the elites’ long range plans. I believed their motivation was that of a true conservative. Once CTH and Sundance started misrepresenting Cruz... not so much, they have been a source of much of the anti-Cruz screed and have therefor brought their motives into question for me.
Cruz has long been in the cross-hairs of the elites on the purported left and right. Now these false memes are being propagated to take down a man of honor, in my opinion. I believe the hate is motivated by Cruz’s being a man with a true anchor in truth and ‘their’ desire to ensure that ‘they’ won’t be held accountable for their schemes and actions on this earth.
FR is filled with postings that propagate the hate that I fear it has been co-opted, despite your indication of support for Cruz.
If you want to rebuild your political brand, Senator Cruz, keep your word. If you want to be seen as a man of principle, which is why I thought you were doing this instead of anything so crass as forwarding your political career, keep your word. That’s not being a servile puppy, that’s being a mature adult.
Opinions differ and that is one thing that conservatives will disagree on.
As a NEVER Sen. Cruz supporter I agree.
Too late. His political career in Texas is finished. I AM a Texan.
Cruz is scholastic book smart. His college grades prove it. Beyond that, read my tag line below.
Yeah Cruz is rebuilding his brand. FUTC
Brand? What brand? Benedict Arnold is already taken.
Based on your repetition of oft stated and ill supported talking points, you appear to me to be someone who would well be replaced by a wall if I attempted to engage.
It’s not worth the effort.
If you cared to investigate more deeply and with intellectual honesty, I believe you would find that the memes you spout have good reason to question their basis in fact, especially if you could look at them dispassionately.
I’m near certain you do not wish to make the effort.
To me, those who are arrogantly attacking Cruz are the ones that have thrown conservatism under the bus.
(By the way, a pledge to “support” is not a commitment to “endorse”. It seems to me Cruz has supported Trump ever since he suspended his campaign.)
He chose ..... poorly.
