Ted Cruz is in the race...
 
I am glad to see Ted enter the Presidential race. What a patriot!

I just hope we can all get behind Ted and take back this country, before it's too late.

If Trump announces soon, we might have a chance at 2016!

Guest 03-24-2015 09:21 AM

FactChecking Ted Cruz


Ted Cruz fact checks his speech to make sure there are no facts in there. So far he has been successful.

Guest 03-24-2015 09:29 AM

Has anyone seen Ted's birth certificate? Donald Trump seems concerned.

Not a problem as precedent has been set. None needed.

You're right. George Romney who was born in Mexico went through the birther routine.

It is harmful to the qualified candidates when someone with no chance of winning like Cruz muddies the water. Also, if gives the impression to most voters that no one in the Republican Party is guiding the best person into the limelight. Cruz may be a hero to some in the party on the extreme right, but is not well thought of by the sensible republican voter.

Did the Donald's investigators ever get back from Hawaii? He assured us that they would stay until they found something, and they've never been heard from again.

Guest 03-24-2015 01:12 PM

There are no sure things in politics and this is especially true with 20 month to go but Ted Cruz is off to an early start with strong tea party support. He is the most outspoken opponent of ACA with a strong stand on immigration. He is certainly the most independent of the GOP candidates which may play well with independents. Yet his position is firmly planted in mainstream of GOP voters on nearly all issues. He is a strong campaigner who has great appeal to Hispanics. Post election have confirmed that his belief that a strong GOP conservative is essential. Cruz despite what others believe can reach across party lines to disillusioned voters, He has a strong legal background and well versed in constitutional law and has a wife with an impressive resume'.

Liberals and RINO's will play him down but this is a guy with determination and moxie.

I welcome him to the mix because the more diverse the filed the better choices for us all.

Clearly his opening remarks touched on what is on voters minds. Do I believe he can accomplish all he imagines...no but he can run circles around Hillary

As per usual one is entitled to their opinion or how they personally see an issue.

However, using the thought process above, who was guiding which of the small army of democratic candidates running during the 2005, 2006, 2007 (seemed like forever) presidential campaign?

Guest 03-24-2015 01:45 PM

Guess this means the Tea Party's other favorite( another nut job), Bachman will be your vp choice. Wackos United. Bring it on!

Oncagain avoing the question asked. Changing the subject as usual. Being derogatory and disrespectful of other than your position.
A shameful representative for your party.
Do you have an emergency bracelet or identification on your person that states to be treated by a democrat only?

Kidding right? When has your beloved tea party been respectful of any position than theirs? Your party behaves as spoiled children. And Cruz is the biggest baby of all.

Just out of curiosity ... since you deem Cruz to be "extreme right" does that mean you would then logically describe Elizabeth Warren as "extreme left?"

Guest 03-24-2015 02:42 PM

And just in case you hadn't guessed, I have zero respect for the Tea Party. I believe they represent the very worst in this country!

This is too amusing. It seems that Senator Ted Cruz will soon be signing up for, wait for it, Obamacare. The family is losing their health care plan when his wife takes a leave of absence, so he is electing to choose Obamacare.

What a hypocrite. He doesn't mind taking health insurance away from 19 million Americans, but when he loses his insurance, he goes right for Obamacare. Let him go out and purchase insurance just like he wants the rest of America to do.

I thought members of congress were exempt from Obamacare maintainin their present program? Perhaps this story needs a fact check?

I get so :censored: tired of correcting your wrong conclusions or totally incorrect assumptions.
Just for the record which never seems to matter to you....I am not a member of the tea party. I know that diappoints you because it is oh so much easier when one fits one of your bash categories.

Can you not comprehend that just because one is entitled to be not in agreement with your position or opinion. We are also entitled to not be badgered and called names when something does not match up to your personal or your part's ideologies.
Your continual :censored: twisting of the subject to suit your purpose has more than worn itself out.

Do you behave this way in the company of others in your party? I would seriously doubt it.

Do you talk to a person's face the way you do in anonymity? Also extremely doubtful.

Converse. Disagree. Even dislike another's position. Nobody id trying to convert or change your position. So how about you doing the same. This BS is long past being entertaining.

Guest 03-24-2015 03:06 PM

I posted on #11 making reference to the Tea Party support and what came back were only derogatory remarks about the Tea Party.

I find many liberals act in total disregard of people's feelings and often go for the juggler in an effort to totally destroy a person over inconsequential faux pas. What i do not find are many conservatives piling on liberals but rather defending their right to disagree.

As to my #11 post I neglected to stay that because Obama has taken a hard left creating a widow maker perhaps this country needs a candidate to go hard right before we can all meet in the middle again?

Unbelievable. Yesterday he's on stage saying when I'm elected President, I will repeal every word of Obamacare, and all the while he is thinking 'where do I sign'?

He's like the old lady at the tea party rally with her tri-corner hat and her misspelled sign yelling 'keep the governments hands off of my Medicare'.

The difference is Ted Cruz is running for president. Elizabeth Warren is a senator from one of the most progressive states in the country, and she's not running for president.

Millions of people won't have health care if Ted Cruz gets his way, but Cruz won't be one of them. Obamacare allowed Cruz's wife to quit her job, which is so startling since Cruz singlehandedly shut down the government for 13 days last year, just to end Obamacare.

Did you actually read the article that you linked? Halfway through it states this -

"Cruz, as an employee of the government, will use the exchange to choose his employer-provided insurance. Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley pushed through an amendment on the Affordable Care Act that requires members of Congress to obtain their coverage via the exchanges. Congress pays most of the premium. But Cruz won't be getting any extra benefit under the Affordable Care Act that a member of Congress wouldn't have gotten before the ACA became law."

Doesn't sound to me like he has a choice, unless I am reading it wrong??

Seems kind of strange that he wasn't required to choose the ACA yesterday, but all of a sudden today he is required to choose the ACA for his healthcare.

The Ted Cruz that I know would say I'll go without healthcare before I'll join that piece of garbage. Too bad we have to wait almost a year to vote for this guy in the Florida primary.

Does that mean you recognize she is extreme left but would prefer not to be that open about describing her accurately ?

I'm saying that Elizabeth Warren is extreme left, but what would you expect the senior senator from Massachusetts would be? After all, she now holds Teddy Kennedy's old seat.

Warren will make a great Secretary of the Treasury for President Hillary Clinton, or OMB director. She will have some cabinet position if she wants it, unless she thinks she can do more in the senate.
