Ted Cruz wins The Blaze's "Man of the Year"

I don't find Cruz to be all that awesome. Even Rand isn't where I would like him to be, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt just because he's Ron's son. I will not support Ted Cruz.
 
Glad to hear this. It's a well deserved honor for Cruz. I'm happy to have supported him in his campaign.
 
Infowars has hit the nail on the head about Cruz here, imo.

The establishment specializes in the old fashion bait-and-switch. It knows the people are sick and tired of government as usual and they want change. Obama was billed as Mr. Hope and Change. But once installed in the White House, he immediately continued and expanded the Bush agenda, that is to say the agenda of the political establishment. Barry, like his predecessor, is little more than a frontispiece, a teleprompter reader for the elite.

Now that we’re fed up with Obama, it is time for the next round of phony change. That change will likely be represented by reformulated Tea Party Republicans Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.

“The Republican establishment despises Ted Cruz. And that’s great news for the senator from Texas: It’s the most prominent sign that he’s the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination,” the National Journal opined last week.

The faux government shutdown with its intense partisan squabbling and meticulously orchestrated theatrics provided Cruz and the reformulated Tea Party Republicans with a stage to present themselves as the answer to politics as usual. According to the script, a staid GOP dominated by the likes of old guard John McCain and John Boehner is afraid of Cruz and the supposedly renegade faction of Tea Party activists in the House. But it’s all show business.

For all his allure as an outsider, Canada-born Ted Cruz is in fact an insider playing a role similar to the one Barack Obama played back in 2008 when his handlers portrayed him as the hope and change candidate out of nowhere.

Cruz’s insider connection is a family affair. His wife, Heidi, is a Goldman Sachs vice president in Houston, Texas, according to her LinkedIn profile. She also served as an economic advisor for the Bush administration. In 2011, a Cruz campaign spokesman portrayed Heidi as “an expert on North American trade,” in other words she is savvy when it comes to globalist transnational trade deals like NAFTA, the single most destructive government move against the American worker in history.

She was also a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations (see her bio at Claremont McKenna College), a position that expired prior to her husband’s attack on the globalist organization. In October, 2011, Ted Cruz reportedly characterized the CFR as “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty.” He previously called the CFR “a pit of vipers” during a speech delivered on October 13, 2011, to a Republican women’s group in Sugarland, Texas. Ben Smith, writing for Politico, attempted to associate Cruz with Texas residents Ron Paul and Alex Jones in order to pass him off as a rightwing conspiracy theorist on the same page as fringe libertarians and starry-eyed constitutionalists. He is, of course, nothing of the sort.

Like the domestication of the Tea Party and the expulsion of its more purist liberty-minded activists, the Cruz the warrior pitted against the establishment motif is another slick subversion directed at the political elite’s most puissant opposition – the real Tea Party and a threatening number of patriot activists gnawing at the edges of the political establishment.

On a totally unrelated matter, does any us US mag, free or ontrolled, publishes "Uncle Tom of the Year" rank by any chance?

Why? What has he done to garner an award when he has done nothing to advance libertarianism in comparison to the better senator or Edward Snowden?

There are 16 new Senators since 2012. How many of them are household names like Cruz? None. As far as doing anything "to advance libertarianism...", this is the Blaze a conservative publication with libertarian leanings. It's not like LRC gave him the award.

Again, a household name for accomplishing what exactly? All Cruz did was throw red meat talking points (talking about Obamacare) to a Republican base that was going to eat it up no matter what. There is nothing noteworthy about that.

Kurt Nimmo is the same clown who called Rand Paul a neocon last year. He's full of shit.

Alex Jones is a strong supporter of Ted Cruz and extensively covered Cruz's stand against Obamacare:

So Ted Cruz' wife isn't a Goldman exec with ties to the CFR and the GWB 'legacy'? How about addressing the allegations in the write-up instead of attacking the messenger? Hmm?
