Ehh fun emotional ad but no real substance much like the candidate

An Ivy League-type with a Goldman Sachs wife? Where can I sign up?

 

[William Tell]

Cruz likes corny slogans, about America, greatness, promise etc. He's such a lawyer too, I wonder if he knows how to talk without pausing for applause. So arrogant.

I thought the Constitution had a Natural Born Citizen clause and Cruz was born in Canada?

Don't tell me they gutted that part of the Constitution too!

I will not settle for Pepsi when Coke is on the menu. Ted not only won't win the nom, but could possibly keep Rand from doing so. Quite frankly, hes an asshole

. . .

Yup - Cruz can run he just can not be President or VP -
he could never be given the oath of office constitutionally.

Green eggs and ham man . . . Cruz will provide comic relief like Parah Sailin did in '08 - imho.

In 2008, they gut it.
It was made possible by our Oligarchy. The Founding Fathers warned us to preserve a government of laws, and not of men. Arrogant, lawless and lusting for power, government officials have abrogated their responsibility to the Constitution, the country and its citizens. It was a backroom deal among Congressional Democrats and Republicans, which created our current Constitutional crisis.

Congress and our political leadership always knew that Barack Obama was not a natural born citizen and, therefore, he was never eligible for the Presidency. Over the last twenty to thirty years, members of Congress, for both personal and partisan reasons, have unsuccessfully attempted to water down the natural born citizen clause by offering potential Amendments to the Constitution.

Political coup d’etat of the Constitution

In the Spring of 2008, however, politicians found an opportunity to create a precedent, whereby they could change the eligibility requirements for the Presidency without an Amendment. At that time, John McCain’s eligibility according to the natural born clause was being questioned. So, a deal was struck and the bogus and non-binding Senate resolution 511 was passed, which provided cover for both McCain and Obama. It was a political coup d’etat of the Constitution.http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/37929

Is Senator Ted Cruz really a "conservative"?

If Senator Cruz is a "conservative" who supports our founders’ brilliance and wisdom, then why does he support the socialist direct tax on profits, gains, salaries and other "incomes" which is a primary source of power used by our Washington Establishment to enslave the American People?


JWK



If, by calling a tax indirect when it is essentially direct, the rule of protection could be frittered away, one of the great landmarks defining the boundary between the nation and the states of which it is composed, would have disappeared, and with it one of the bulwarks of private rights and private property.

Can someone summarize why Cruz is so bad? I thought his record was pretty good in the Senate; I mean, not as good as Ron or Rand, but surely one of the better Senators we have.

He's the establishment "gobot" to our "transformer".

Ted Cruz’s Latest Stunt: A Presidential Campaign

Cruz is a skillful demagogue, and he’ll be able to put on quite a show during candidate debates, but that will probably take the form of accusing the other candidates of being sell-outs and attributing views to them that they don’t hold. That is normally how he responds to criticism from within his own party.

[...]

Relative moderates come away with Republican nominations in one cycle after another partly because conservative voters are always split five or six ways and usually don’t get behind a single candidate soon enough. Republicans have the same problem again, but it is even worse than usual because the field promises to be much larger than it has been in previous cycles. Cruz’s new grandstanding as a presidential candidate will mostly work to weaken other conservatives that have a much better chance at the nomination than he does, and his campaign makes it more likely that a relative moderate will come away with the win.

Cruz is basically the personification of the collective id of the Republican base at this point: self-regarding, self-promoting, self-defeating. Uninterested in careful planning and tedious, realistic policy implementation, but drawn to the instant gratification of a grand, doomed gesture. Prone to lashing out and blaming everyone but himself when the grand gesture inevitably fails.

He and the embittered rump of voters who highjacked and still use the "Tea Party" label really deserve one another. It's just a shame that everyone else in the party (except the establishment, of course!) has to suffer for it.
