Maybe his colleages in the Senate don’t like him....but the question is do the voters in Texas like him? It would appear that they do. So who cares what Juan McAmnesty, Lindsey Grahmnesty, McConnell, and the entire cast of RINO’s think.

I’m likin’ Cruz, but not sold yet. I was likein Walker too but it looks like he jumped the shark on Amnesty. And there’s some murkyness out there with Cruz on that score too.

He’s got to say these criminal trespassers need to be deported....all of them. They can apply for resident alien status from their country of birth, and get in line, at the back, behind those who are already in that line. They will not be eligible for any sort of public assistance once they get here and for 20 years after taking the oath of citizenship.. This is not negotiable.

Eleanor Clift, as always, trying in her own way to put down a conservative. Referring to him as a “king” and that he’s “unfriendly”. If you read political columns and op-ed pieces long enough you can read between the lines and notice all the little buzzwords that writers use to get their little jabs in. The bottom line is Ted Cruz has got the lefties and their media arm spooked out of their minds.

...he is among the least liked members of the Senate

They keep repeating this talking point like it is a bad thing. As if one would need to be "liked" by Harry Reid, Chucky Schumer, Mitch "Chamber of Comm" McConnell, and McCain, to be seen as a good candidate.

the angriest wing of the GOP

That is just a mean and hateful thing to say. Are you a mean and hateful person, Eleanor?

Would you rather have the corrupt, sleazy, out of touch, and owned wing of the GOP?

I’m on the wrong planet. I don’t belong here. The angry, crazy tea party. Those idjuts just want to pay less taxes and balance budgets, how marginal and clueless they are! They aren’t like US, no, we are the great Americans who enjoy statism, and the tyranny of king like rulers. We actually love what we say we hate about the tea party. We love controlling people and protecting our favorites, and damn if we hate those ugly tea party people for supposedly doing that!

And they’re desperately going through their archives to dig out their most dastardly Anti-Reagan missives, and aren’t finding many that will fit.

Ted is opening the hearts of Americans far faster than the Left can find missiles to shoot those hearts down again.

One of my sons said, “I can tell when McLaughlin is on.” How so I asked. “Because all I hear is intermittent screaming at the TV.”

Eleanor Clift might well be one of the original lizard people. She’s as shrieky and over-talking as any T-Rex.

Senator Cruz has zero legislation passed with his sponsorship so far. But primary process is long ways away. Senator Cruz has plenty of time to woo the senators and congress critters and get a consensus going to pass some important and meaningful legislation such as abolishing the IRS.

Cruz doesn't have a chance in hell. He's a junior senator with no executive experience, opposition from his own party, eligibility issues and he's facing off against a pre-decided candidate with a powerful last name.

Never gonna happen.

Eleanor has been brain dead since the days of our beloved Pres. Reagan, whom she mocked and despised. She is totally wrong on every issue, so this article slamming Sen. Cruz is very encouraging.

We’d all like to file our taxes by postcard

Yeah, exactly.

but most of us realize how impractical that would be,

Well, somehow Russia and about twenty other countries have made a flat tax work.

and that it couldn’t happen unless the tax code were completely overhauled.

Yeah, exactly.

Let’s say you spent your Adult life living under the dragon, and were dedicated to learning the chinks in the dragon’s armor to slay it, the Dragon being the Fed.

Ted has studied for 20 years how best to bring down the Dragon. He declared for POTUS so he can do exactly that. You could use David v. Goliath as a metaphor if you choose.

Barack Hussein Obama has studied for 20 years how to bring down the American Eagle, and damned near succeeded, consider that.

You can’t be more wrong. Jeb Bush disgusts me with his pandering to illegals.

My current preferences are: Walker, Jindal, Cruz, Kasich.

I just like to find out where a man sits. I'm always upfront about supporting Cruz. I also like to say (because it's true) that I like and respect Walker. I don't criticize anyone. I just say the names of the people I like.

And I mention Bush because I know that no respectable person on this board can stand him. His name is useful because it insults people and gets them to name the ones they really like. I don't have to criticize Bush. I just say his name.

Here is an article in which the Clift Lizard claims Chris Stevens died by “smoke inhalation.”

I’d vote for a sheet of plywood if it promised to prosecute Obama and the first two levels of his administration if it won.
