Ted Cruz Thread

[wally]

I would like to remind us that RINO staff members monitor these conservative sites.

They constantly monitor the pulse of the grassroots.... to see how far to the left they can push us.

At this early point in the election process I believe the worst thing we can do is cede any ground to the Establishment.

NOW is the time to be strongly committed to the most conservative of candidates.

Saying that we will vote for ANY GOP candidate is akin to throwing in the towel before the Primaries even begin.

Why I cant see it?

They voted for OBama Twice!

Donn''t discount fraud, as well as the fact the base stayed home because they refuse to vote for another rino.

I probably say it to much but I think the MSM has a lot of power (Too Much) they report or in many cases dont report
negative things that should be reported.

Yep, without a doubt, leaving out pertinent information and obfuscation by definition, is lying.
However, data shows that network media is dying rapidly and losing influence daily, despite this loss in revenue and viewership, the left supporting them financially is bleeding them dry.
The entire left media in total, can't compare to FOX viewership, which isn't even right wing.
This is evidence that the leftist agenda is being rejected by the majority of the nation.

Someone said, Mostly old people watch the Networks but a lot of Newspapers are considered Mainsteam, like NY Times they all stick together. That includes leftwing web sites

Again, just because they have a majority in numbers, still does not equate to majority opinion.

So that makes it where the right has to work twice as hard to get there message out.

Agree, but we are getting the message out, coupled with the fact that the nation is still majority Conservative.

But yah, I agree with everything else you wrote

OK

It is sad to see how easy it is for the gay community to intimidate people.....

Cruz's dinner host apologizes for hospitality -  NYT: "Ian Reisner, one of the two gay hoteliers facing boycott calls for hosting an event for Senator Ted Cruz, [R-Texas] who is adamantly opposed to gay marriage, apologized to the gay community for showing 'poor judgment.' Mr. Reisner put the apology on Facebook, where a page calling for a boycott of his properties, the gay-friendly OUT NYC hotel and his Fire Island Pines holdings, had gotten more than 8,200 'likes' by Sunday evening... 'I was ignorant, naive and much too quick in accepting a request to co-host a dinner with Cruz at my home without taking the time to completely understand all of his positions on gay rights,' Mr. Reisner said."  Fox News Online

Yes,I heard this on Rush todday.  I also heard that Ted Cruze's main  financier of his campaign is an openly gay Republican.  The gay Lefties called him on it and he didn't fold; he doubled his campaign contribution!  lol...  I'm guessing it was problably him that asked this other gay guy to hoset the event.  He went all wobbly legged, when the media stormed his palace!

Thanks for that information wally.  I did not know that.

Still looking at the assertion, "Millennials (born 1980 to 2010) reject Cruz."  Nothing substantive now, but a couple of points of interests.
1. America's new Gallup is Pew Research. Americans soak up everything Pew publishes as if it were infallible. Pew relies heavily on telephone surveys, land line and cell phone. To the best of  my knowledge, Pew has never had anyone hang up on them or decline to be interviewed. But then, why would they?  There is no one who does not love Pew.
2. The term Millennials annoys many scholars, who feel it is a made-up term just because.
The defining event for Millennials is said to be Columbine.  Eighteen year olds are Millennials.
3. American grow more conservative as they age, and the trend proceeds in a stair step pattern. Generations tend to shift attitudes all at the same time. All of a sudden, it becomes cool to shift to the conservative. Millennials are on schedule for a shift, actually overdue, to the conservative.
4. This is important: the majority of the voting Millennials have passed through that stage of high vulnerablity to peer pressure, which, as we know, Obama played to the hilt. Obama had the whole damn bunch of them believing that a vote for him was cool and that their grandparents and parents were uncool, even racist, in his slick little coded commie ways.
5. Point is, the Millennials have grown past the point of easily persuaded, and there has been no
generation to replace it.  They came of age with I-pods and laptops, and have advanced to computer wrist watches.  The generation after them are now in elementary school. If the Millennials look up to anyone (sketchy supposition at best) it is the Gen X, who are now 30-60 years. That raises another point of investigation.

Conclusion:  Those who say Ted Cruz turns off the Millennials  have been watching too much NPR.
The left and the MSM will go all out to impress them, but will have to treat them like children. They are not children  any more.

Thanks for that information red_dirt.  Your inquisition has been enlightening.

[red_dirt]

You are welcome, Kroz. I'm really just getting started on the topic, but thought any information can get to the hands of the conservatives, the better.  Incidentally, those "population shifts" to the conservative continue to stair step through the entire life of a generation.  It is not what I had expected, that people become more liberal and government dependent as they age. To the contrary, people become less enamored of government as they age, and less vulnerable to peer pressure. 

It goes back to the claim that twerp made on discus.

I have been struck that Millennials do think differently. For example, roving gangs have made our cities less safe. The Millennials work in cities, often solo, and do not tend to travel in gangs. So, they have come up with this cell phone app which is essentially puts out an S.O.S. to other Millennials who have pledged to respond and support. They say, "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away." And, who knows what could be in any of those back packs?

He had better get a LOT of hispanic support because he is not getting much GOP support!
