Ted Cruz Announces Presidential Bid

Keep telling yourself that. Obama is the most left wing president in history and that pendulum can swing both ways. If we can elect a far left ideologue we can certainly elect a right wing one. I am sending Cruz a check next week now that he has announced. I have always said that ultimately, Obama would be good for conservatism. I love how libs are telling us who NOT to nominate. You should follow the old adage, if your opponent is committing suicide let him.
 
Cruz is not taking any subsidies and is following a law he wants to see changed because you may not like a law but that doesn't mean that you don't have to obey it. He has no alternative at this time. I am loving the attacks on Cruz by the left. Brilliant, articulate and he can't be Sarah Palin'd. He also seems to thrive when he is attacked. He may not be the nominee but I am loving that he has entered the race.

Suck it, libs.

Most Liberals love that he's entered the race and will probably pull the debates even more to the right, maybe even far right; ) He is also really hated by many high ranking Republicans because of his antics and will be attacking him the most. Too bad GOP!

Doesn't feed trolls and would appreciate it if you

You don't have the slightest idea what 'left' really means, do you?
 
The things said about Cruz are the same things that were said about Reagan. The establishment hate him, that's great. If he is successful in pulling the candidates more to the right, even better. That speaks favorably to his abilities as a candidate. Gotta love libs who think that an extreme leftie like we have in the White House now is ok, but a right winger can't be elected. The best hopes for Dems hinge on two old white women and so far a woman veep candidate spells doom for a campaign. It has been tried twice now. Meanwhile, we have young candidates like Walker, Cruz, Rubio, Paul,Jindal. My friends the liberal flame is fizzling and a hard rain is gonna fall.

Yes I do and they look a lot like you because you think an arch liberal like Obama is mainstream.
You have proven that you don't have the slightest idea about much of anything. Can you even stake claim to any formal education? You come across as some crotch sniffing 18 year old with a skull full of mush.
 
I reember about 2 years ago when conservartives pundits predicted a landslide Romney victory...
Kindly, reference where I did that. I also remember predictions of republicans would never hold any majorities in congress again. How did that work out, huh? The government shutdown spelled Doom!!!!!

I didn't say you predicted a landslide GOP victory. I say your comments about a GOP victory being so sure remember me of Dick Morris and all these pundits who predicted a landslide Romney victory.

And I never said republicans would never hold any majorities in congress again.
Unlike many of you conservatives, I don't do bold prdictions based on nothing.

You're sure Republicans are gonna win ? Good for you but keep ome kleenex near from you : You Might need some on election night...
 
FOX NEWS FAUX NEWS!!! The left hates Fox News for one reason. It doesn't let liberal lies slide unchallenged. The left have cornered the market when it comes to indoctrination of the youth through our educational system and there is an avenue for conservatives to get their message out to the masses, that and talk radio. I didn't watch any 24 hour news channels for almost 3 years and there was so much belly aching about FNC by you whiny libs I decided to tune in again. Anything that gets liberal panties in a wad gets my seal of approval.

well Sammy did side with freedom and not tyranny so then, there's that.

I don't see you calling out those proclaiming the end of the republican party only those that you disagree with.
I have a decent track record of calling election trends and there are some here that were pounding their chests about how republicans were gonna lose seats anf I took them up on it and they were wrong. So in light of that, your little hissy fit is rife with irony.

Anyone with Google can look at election history and make most of the same predictions you've made, and I never said you were wrong about republicans winning seats last fall, as a matter of fact I agreed that you were probably right. What exactly would you have me say to those proclaiming the end of the GOP? While I don't agree with that assessment I do believe that the GOP is currently in decline and will stay that way as long as they embrace a socially conservative agenda. Our favorite former resident redneck and Asshat of the Year made ROMNEY! LANDSLIDE!!! predictions all through the 2012 campaign, you're starting to steal his gimmick.

In the words of O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and other cronies... you lost the country. But we will see, and then someone will have been wrong


Now the Republicans go to extremer measures, no holds barred, and they will go worse.
 
Soe conservative would answer you that the recent congres election proves they haven't lost the country. The truth is they have. But part of the democrat voters don't vote for congress elections but do vote for presidentiel elections. 'cause in congress election you vote for only 1 congressman. If he is elected he'll be just one ou of hundreds of other congressmen. But in presidential, there's only one president in the White House. And he's got about the same amount of power than the whole congress.
Not to mention the fact that many democratic candidate ran conservative campaigns that didn't appeal to their democratic voters and weren't conservative enough to appeal to republican voters.

I am.

You know, you used to be a halfway reasonable person with whom to have a semi-intelligent exchange of ideas. Now, you just seem like a bitter (your avatar!), myopic, mean and insulting asshole to be quite honest. I liked the old you much better. Just an observation and no personal offense intended.

How could anyone take offense at that? I posted a rather lengthy response to your concerns but it got timed out and I will not type it again.

I refrained from harsh criticism of Obama for 6 years but it is clear that the conservative viewpoint is not welcome here unless it is conservatism cloaked as a moderate.

If my attitude has changed, it is because of the constant belittling of conservatives that takes place here.

A poster that I am sure you like called a family member a crack whore a few days ago yet it goes unnoticed.

I regret you have that opinion of me but if espousing my views results in that then I am not going to lose any sleep over it. A lot of my comments are made tongue in cheek, sorry they get lost in the process
I am on vacation now and won't be posting until after Easter but I felt I should respond to your comments.

I wasn't necessarily referring to your posts directed at me (although, as a "lib", I do take offense when you tell me to "suck it". Don't worry....I'll get over it :1orglaugh) as much as I was referring to your posts in general. I can relate to your frustration but to sink to the level of the lowest common denominator is a much worse option than taking the high road. Name-calling and mudslinging are childish and usually indicative of a weak argument. It's much better to simply ignore those comments or find some other way to demean them rather than simply following suit. It makes you appear shallow and disingenuous. I also think I can tell the difference between genuine mudslinging and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. You've dealt out a lot more of the former in recent weeks. Again, not a personal affront but just an observation. I wouldn't make the comment if I didn't respect you. Enjoy your vacation.

This.

If the 2010 gains in the COTUS for the GOP led by the Tea Party bitching had no barring on the 2012 election.

Jeb Bush by the way will be the nominee. To the center GOP supporters know that a radical will not win and like Romney in 2012 they will show up in the primaries to assure a chance in 2016.
 
I find it hilarious that Cruz announced his run at Jerry Fallwell's "university" wink wink where they actually teach students that the earth is 6000 years old. Nice to see that several students who were required to attend Cruz's appearance or be fined were wearing Rand Paul shirts to show their dislike. I like some things Paul says but other are just fucking retarded, just like his father.
