I wish i could meet him in person, because I can't imagine someone like that is real, let alone have made it to the highest ranks of government...

There is actually someone who bought one of Cruz's potential domain names, and rather than selling it to his campaign for a high price, he is holding it hostage for a meeting with him.

3/24/2015 8:56:29 PM

Check out http://www.tedcruz.com

And http://www.tedcruzforamerica.com/ redirects to healthcare.gov.

I don't know if either is the one you're referring to, though.

Saps is a big fan of this dude.

3/25/2015 9:31:05 AM

^^.... You can meet him in person, he'll be speaking at a John Locke Foundation luncheon on April 14 in Raleigh.

Thanks for sharing.

Ben Carson is the one of the worst candidates to even think about running.

3/25/2015 12:12:29 PM

Carson became a republican because a young mother didn't want to accept help from her disapproving parents and was on public assistance, and he thought this was a "bad decision" for her to make regarding her own life, which made him become conservative so I guess he could force needy people to stay in whatever unhealthy situation got them where they are.

Cruz running for president?

Something tells me he's not a true believer in many of his positions, statements, and WTF moments and to some degree has been strategically batshit crazy to gain notoriety, knowing full well that there are enough people who *do* buy into his flavor of extremism to give him a shot. Hell whether you like him or hate him, he's a household name around the country, which isn't the case for most of his peers.

I still think he flames out well before the primary...

3/25/2015 4:59:12 PM

I don't know, him, Bachmann, and Palin strike me as the type that believe their own bullshit

Is a comparison with Joe McCarthy supposed to be a compliment or an insult?

Compliment

Was it ever determined that shoot is a real person? Because this doesn't seem real.

3/26/2015 3:50:33 PM

Which sentence makes you think like that?

3/26/2015 3:52:29 PM

almost everything you've written in this thread seems like it might be fake...the last comment about the comparison being a complement is maybe the most damning though

3/26/2015 3:56:11 PM

He's definitely a hater of communism. His father was put into prison by Castro for 30 years.
That's why he said: millions of Americans came to this country with nothing but achieved everything.
His father was like a refugee.

And that's basically why GOP choose him to be a nominee: to deal with China-Russia ally I think.

[Edited on March 26, 2015 at 4:07 PM. Reason : ;]

he's a nut-job, plain and simple, and it's mind-boggling that someone as dumb and crazy as him could become a senator, much less a presidential nominee.

[Edited on March 26, 2015 at 4:18 PM. Reason : ]

He's of course a freak. He talked for 21 hrs non-stopped to fight against Obamacare.

Woah, slow down there. GOP didn't choose him to be nominee. Up to this point, Cruz chose Cruz to be a contender for GOP nominee. And I think I can confidently guarantee Cruz won't be the GOP nominee.

Ted Cruz was in Rock Hill yesterday. Video below if anyone is interested:

http://pundithouse.com/2015/04/ted-cruz-stumps-in-rock-hill/

In sum - advocates for a flat tax, abolishing the IRS, repealing every word of Obamacare, defend religious liberty and the 1st Amendment, limiting the federal govt to its core functions, repeal common core.

Questions from the audience begin about the 21:50 mark.

hell, i'm much more for than against pretty much all of those things.

it's unfortunate that Ted Cruz is a fucking dipshit.

It's code for being anti-gay

4/6/2015 10:24:20 AM

It's actually not. But thanks for projecting your own insecurities and biases.

4/6/2015 1:49:02 PM

come on man, that's pretty much what it is, and has nothing to do with "insecurities and biases", that's a lame defense. what do you think it means?

4/6/2015 1:57:43 PM

Those are just boiler plate conservative platitudes.

4/6/2015 3:03:01 PM

Lol at the guy voting for the tea party calling me insecure.

4/6/2015 3:16:51 PM

wait. is common core even a law?

4/7/2015 11:37:03 AM

nope

4/7/2015 12:22:55 PM

An academic definition I guess.

4/7/2015 12:33:48 PM

as president he is going to force every state that adopted it to repeal it I guess

4/7/2015 1:53:16 PM

i'm pretty much undecided on common core, so regardless of it's merits or lack thereof, it's pretty funny for a guy like Ted Cruz to force states to repeal a state education model when he and his party are ardent defenders of states rights for things like intelligent design and trying to keep religion in public schools.

4/7/2015 2:28:55 PM

Ted Cruz only supports states' rights to abortion, gay marriage and secession.

4/8/2015 8:30:31 AM

no republicans actually give a shit about small or local government, they only say that when it suits them. as soon as small or local government is contrary to their ideology on an issue, they oppose it. you don't even need to look beyond our state for this to be obvious.

4/13/2015 6:13:09 PM

I spoke with someone this afternoon who attended the Ted Cruz luncheon at the John Locke Foundation. They confirmed he was neither crazy nor stupid. This came as a huge surprise given the image of Senator Cruz being portrayed online and by the media.

4/13/2015 8:53:29 PM

Yeah, I don't think 'gay jihad' is a term any intelligent person would use.

4/13/2015 9:11:00 PM

^^ they play to their audiences. Just look at Huckabee when he's on the Daily Show, he comes off as normal and sane. Or when Rubio was on TDS, he didn't say any of his nut things, he was fairly even handed.

We're probably going to hear some really, really nutty things from the republican politicians during the primaries, because the "low information" voters love that kind of thing. In the past week i've seen normal human beings, close friends, post about how we should ship all the illegal immigrants back far away from their homes on dilapidated old ships just like Eisenhower did (which never happened), and wondering out loud how we, as a country, are going to survive another 2 years under Obama, who is certainly really a kenyan secret muslim that hates America.

Probably the worst thing Obama said was about people clinging to guns and religion, and he (rightfully) had to walk this back.

Statistically, we're a country of poor, dumb people, and national elections really help demonstrate this.
