RE: Ted Cruz...

They have been glad to answer any of my questions. You really do have to realize that we are in the game of politics, it is all about framing the message to who you are talking to. If telling every smidgen of information on every issue was effective then the super brochure would have push Ron Paul to the nomination.

If you are unwilling to realize that no matter how good someone is, if they don't win they are useless, I don't know how to help you. Ron Paul is the only exception to that.

I like Ted Cruz. While some prefer Addison in that race (and Addison is a great guy), Ted Cruz is the only one still in capable of defeating Dewhurst. (In case you forgot or never new, Dewhurst is the stinking scum wad that killed the anti-TSA bill in the legislature last year) Dewhurst has succeeded in getting every other major opponent to drop out of the senate race and pursue other ventures (I made the entire list in another post somewhere). Ted Cruz couldn't be bought out, which lends support to his character. He's a pro-freedom constitutionalist.

As to his need for funds, he's behind dewhurst in the polls and he needs advertising pretty bad. he's up against the Karl Rove machine. So, if you can shoot him a few dollars, it would really help.

Ok I don't care what you think about Cruz. I don't know a thing about him myself, but he has to be better than Dewhurst.

Frankly, I'd say don't spend money on Cruz, who is already getting lots of help from other groups (Tea Parties, Palin people, etc). Back someone with some money who really needs it and who is definitely one of us--like former Congressman Steve Stockman or former Sheriff Richard Mack, both running for Congress in Texas.

Such an establishment neo-con.... https://www.facebook.com/tedcruzpage/posts/463531393674028

From Ted Cruz's FB page

A federal judge blocked a portion of the National Defense Authorization Act that allows the government to detain citizens on U.S. soil without Habeas Corpus rights. This is great news.

Congressman Ron Paul, Senator Rand Paul, and I agree that it is vital to protect our nation, but this act is wrong and unconstitutional. Government power, unchecked, is always a threat to individual liberty.

When it's two liberty candidates dividing the movement, donate to neither. It's effecitively cancelling out each other, we need to get behind liberty candidates fighting against the establishment. Not amongst ourselves.

Instead, support Kwiatkowski or O'Connor. True liberty candidates with a real shot of winning provided they get funds.

Your vote will be thrown away on Addison, that is clear. And all of the big name libertarian Republicans have endorsed Cruz. Addison was polling at 1%. Then they stopped polling him because he was so low I guess.

The same logic that we tried to counter in Ron Paul's campaign: "I agree with Ron Paul but he's unelectable so my vote will be wasted. Instead I'll vote Santorum because he's better Romney and is the only one who can beat him."

Vote for purity, then your vote will never be wasted.
