Why Ted Cruz is the Smartest Wolf in the Pack
Patheos ^ | January 18, 2016 | Father Dwight Longenecker

OK. Right up front in case anyone is getting all nervous about a priest commenting on politics: This is not an endorsement of Ted Cruz. Stop biting your fingernails. I'm not telling you to vote Republican. I'm not saying Ted Cruz is a great guy or would be a great president.

However, I am commenting as an American citizen on what is one of the most interesting presidential elections in living history.

It interests me because Ted Cruz is one very smart guy. You only have to check his credentials: his history as a college debater, his record as a lawyer, and his savvy work in Congress to realize that he is not a dull knife....

ABSOLUTELY, and Cruz is principled as well.

Well, except for the flip flops and the failure to disclose loans properly.

Funny how so many anti-Cruz Trumpets have recent sign-on dates. If I were a conspiracy theorist...

Cruz is so smart he didn’t realize he was a Canadian citizen until two years ago?

If Ted Cruz was born in 1870 instead of 1970 he wouldn’t even be a citizen of the United States. It was a 1952 naturalization act of Congress that even made it possible for someone in his situation to be a citizen. How is that being a NBC?

Interesting article; I tend to agree.

I am surprised to see a Roman Catholic priest be so politically savvy, but I read the guy’s bio. He’s done everything but convert from Judaism.

Mine’s older than yours.

So keep your pious indignation.

You know, you're right. Anyone who has to take out a loan has no business running for public office. Only the extremely wealthy are qualified to run.

Is that you Donald?

Donald, are you trying to cover up your liberal agenda, like your anti-Constitution stance, including eminent domain.

So you’ll defend a 60 day wonder as long as he’s doing your bidding? How convenient.

I suspect that may be your opinion and others may have opinions that differ.
Is being the biggest snake all that bad?
