yeah, everyone, lose with Cruz
lose terrorists
lose POTENTIAL terrorists entering our country to kill us
lose excess taxes
lose baby killers or at least support for them
vote for Ted Cruz, someone with integrity, someone who doesn't ditch his integrity just because he is "in" the Brotherhood known as Washington DC, a club that is AGAINST We the People
in spades
no wonder those fake Rs dont like him
I would rather not let a neoconservative take the presidency, and leadership of republican party funding. It was bad enough when the Bush RINOs had it; I think it is time to move on.

civility is a lost "art"
it is out of style. But some things, objectively speaking, never go out of style, as Cruz knows. I sometimes think he is the only one who still believes in being civilized, he and Huckabee. Fiorina hasn't said anything too off the wall or rude either nor has Carson, but Cruz is totally pro-life and also, I like the way he votes. I can't think of one thing I disagree w/ him about

1. Barrack Obama has an American mother and a Hawaiian birth certificate and yet he has been hounded by conservative birthers (including Donald Trump) for the past 7 years.
2. Ted Cruz has an American mother, a Canadian birth certificate and held dual American/Canadian citizenship as late as 2014, yet his constitution right to become president has never been challenged.
Personally, I have no objection to Cruz running as a presidential candidate - what I do object to is blatant conservative hypocrisy whereby the ground rules suddenly change when its "one-of-their-own!"

The establishment will throw all of their support behind Cruz if he wins the primary. True story.

what planet are you from?
did they do that with Huckabee or Santorum?
did Fox News?
as one commentator said, Fox News is not conservative but "corporatist"
and we have not had a real conservative elected since 1984. I have oftn felt that FNC is one of the biggest causes of that

One of the best things about Ted Cruz
I question why Ted Cruz, who has been critical of anybody and everybody, has remained virtually silent when it concerns Donald Trump.
It isn't as if Trump hasn't provided a string of controversial statements that have been widely denounced as unAmerican - including GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan.
After 2012 Election, Governor Jindal warned Republicans that unwarranted comments had labeled the GOP as the "stupid party" - and that was even before the arrival of Trump.

American politics is littered with anti-establishment presidents from "outside-the-beltway" who came to the Oval Office without the knowledge of how to get things done in Washington!
Federal power, in America, is distributed in such a way that only ''ïnsiders" with a working knowledge of the personalities, committees and the "behind-the-scenes" politics can get things accomplished.
Lyndon Johnson, the "insider's insider," was more successful at passing important legislation in the modern era than any other president before or since.

Huckabee and Santorum didn't win the primary. If Cruz is the nominee, the establishment that "hates" him will put their full support behind him. This is how politics works. Same old, same old every single time.

i was thinking you were referring to the IOWA primary. I must have half asleep or something.
In any case, i would certainly hope the establishment Rs would put their support behind Cruz
like We the People do
. He is the people's choice for president (even tho some of We the people are clueless as to why--well, just clueless Period and therefore don't understand why he should be the president):think:
He is a neoconservative, though he isn't a typical Rockefeller, like Nixon.so what about Cruz?
I think even if Obama's parents were illegal aliens, an as if; his citizenship shouldn't have been questioned. His English was to fluid, and it looks like a Koch brothers con job.
Fred Koch visited Russia when it was the soviet union. He is considered a conservative, though his understanding of unions seemed lacking. The Russians were not lazy, but he was out to bust ever union in the United States, because he believed like a socialist, American workers to be lazy.
How would "lighthouse99" police and enforce those laws that he envisions would ban abortion without "BIG GOVERNMENT?"

Not really.
The constitution states that the President must be a "natural born Citizen".
In the language of the time that meant a person born to two citizens, and excluded anyone born to a foreigner.
Cruz and Obama were born to foreigners.
Obama's father was a Kenyan citizen, Cruz's father had just become a Canadian citizen.
It is just as much a violation of the constitution for Cruz to run for president as it was for Obama to run.
The whole "birth certificate" thing was thrown up as a smokescreen to keep people off the real issue: a foreigner parent.
One of the best things about Ted Cruz
As I predicted, "the Donald" has already made Cruz's legal status as a "natural born" American citizen an issue.
All that is necessary to derail the Cruz campaign is to plant the seed of doubt concerning his constitutional status as a GOP presidential candidate.
Conservatives only have themselves to blame by hounding Obama for the last 7 years, only to have this issue to reappear against one of their own!

If Cruz wants to run for President despite his disqualification, then he has proven that he will not support the Constitution of the United States any more than Obama has.
Nothing about that makes him a conservative.
