Ted Cruz Thread

[redbeard]

I have to disagree. We want her to run, for one, she's the easiest to beat, two, even the DNC knows she can't win so they're trying destroy her, and three, even the libs hate her.
So why would we want to help them destroy her?

Personally, I'm looking forward to a bloody slaughter in 2016, and if we get to bloody a Klinton, all the better.

Oh I don't want to destroy her yet! Just weaken her a little just enough to put her off her stride. I agree she is who we want to run against but I want to see her Favorability rating a little lower and more important is to get her un favorability up!

And the best part: When she goes down she will take the party with her. If there is a primary challenge she will napalm the village to get the nomination. She will destroy the weak bench the Democrats have. O'Malley, that guy with the large head (Webb). The clown (Biden) and the crazy Socialist (Sanders)...and that's it really.  She will kill a bench begging to be put out of it's misery.

I'm not sure whose following whom when it comes to circling the drain.  I believe the Dim arty is already dead, we're just waiting for the clock to run out.

   I've been defending Cruz since he ran for and won his current position.   So far, he's the real deal and I admire him for sticking with his values, no matter how much the RINO's degrade, marginalize, and ridicule him in an effort to render him unelectable. You can bet the left is working overtime to dig up anything that would knock him out of the race, however I believe Cruz is too smart for that.

   I also post on city-data forum and was recently banned from the Off Topic forum on the ultimate  bastion of  liberal beotches, Chronicle of the Horse.            http://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/forum.php

  I was banned from OT for defending myself, lol and am happy to just sit back and watch them eat their own.

Actually they are more like the headless chicken. It runs around a bit before finally tipping over.

An excellent point about napalming any potential challenger. It doesn't matter how bad a candidate she is. Just today another book is out which raises more questions about the foundation and her actions as Sec. of State. Judge Napolitano said the allegations are worse than those against Menendez. However, any bets on the DOJ pursuing?

The new "gotcha" question posed to the GOP candidates is... Would you attend the wedding of a gay family member or friend?

Here are some of the responses from the candidates:

Rick Santorum declared he would not attend such a ceremony because "that would be a violation of my faith." In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, Santorum stated that in the case of a homosexual friend, "I would love them and support them, but I would not participate in that ceremony."

Ted Cruz rejected the question as hypothetical and stated the real issue was whether the federal government would take authority to regulate marriage away from the states.

John Kasich told a homosexual friend he would attend his wedding.

Scott Walker said he had attended a reception for a homosexual wedding.

Marco Rubio told Jorge Ramos in an interview, "If there's somebody that I love that's in my life, I don't necessarily have to agree with their decisions or the decisions they've made to continue to love them and participate in important events."

The liberals will always push the social issues questions on the candidates because that is where they believe they can trip them up.

I thought Cruz offered the shrewdest response.  He will not allow them to drive the dialogue.

[WashingtonLives]

So here are two things the extremist leftists say: 1. "Cruz might do ok in the primaries, but cannot make it in the general election." 2. "Cruz is 'Palin' un-electable in the general election." 

I say....they live in a bubble of commie/socialist goobley-gook! This bubble is either exploding, or (more likely) IMPLODing. They are always looking so far inward....it will be an implosion. They do not often look beyond their noses and, especially, their FEEL-ings! LOL

I think a good answer would be.. "When it comes to this whole issue, I find it pretty hard to swallow"

I believe that is what many said about Reagan. We saw how that worked out.

Do they expound upon what makes him unelectable?

Chances are they simply throw out the sound bite and expect it to stand without substantiation. 

[WashingtonLives]

That is it. They just throw it out there, and think the sheep will lap it up. I still disagree about Palin being unelectable...she has more guts in her little finger than all the Rhinos in a row!

I was thinking the Pushmepullyou, but headless chicken works on sooo many levels.

As long as we're invoking Ronald Maximus, I think we ought to remember his eleventh commandment!
(George Herbert Walker Bush labeled Reagan's supply side economics as being "Voodoo Economics" when he ran against Reagan and Dole in the primary.  The left still calls it that.  Prior to the landslide election of Ronald Reagan, Republicans were depicted as Blue and White and the Democrats were the REDS!  The media, long before cable, talk radio or the internet changed that!  There was no push back becasue there was nowhere one could push back.

We are enabling the REDS to march us down the road towards stateism and Despotic control of one party, tyranical rule, if we give them ammunition to use against us.  Even our weakest links (RINO's) are Republicans, in the eyes of the media and the electorate.  Whatever we say can and will be used against us in the court of public opinion!  That's why Reagan cautioned aginst speaking ill of anyone with the Republican brand.  We are only diminished by it.  He said that when others railed aginst another Republican who was against us 20% of the time, he saw someone who was with us 80% of the time.  We don't want these people as our leaders, but we need to use them when we can and then get rid of them when we can.  It only gives fodder to the other side when we shoot ourselves in the foot by demonizing identified Republican Leaders as people who ought not be given power.  They paint us all with that same broad brush and it only goes to serve the interests of our real enemies.

Many of the differences between conservtives and RINO's are differences in strategy, as well as demonstrating the courage of one's convictions.  In 1964, Barry Goldwater's slogan was "Barry Goldwater: He'd rather be Right, than President"  He was right and he waas not ever President!

Somebody mention Ronaldus Magnus?
