David Limbaugh is really losing it during this e******n cycle...Doesn't he even know or care that Ted Cruz is not even an American citizen? According to Ted's own Dad, both his wife and son were Canadian citizens when Ted was born in Canada. There was no dual citizenship in 1970 and Ted had to be naturalized if he ever wanted to become an American citizen. Where are his naturalization papers? ..Ted is bought by the special interests and is, in fact, the second biggest recipient of PAC money. We can't trace this money to the people who are really controlling the i*****l a***n candidate...Considering that Cruz is the "annointed king" of the anti-Semitic D******n cult and I would be weary of him. His false religion sees nothing wrong with lying and playing dirty tricks andTed has become a master in these demonic arts (Matthew 7:20)...Ted talks conservative to conservatives but has long record of passing liberal legislation and working with the Bush cabal in destroying our borders and ripping up our Constitution. He is as phony as phony can be.
David Limbaugh is really losing it during this e**... (show quote)


Where are YOUR naturalization papers? Soon you will need nothing, demonsupper. Your God has deserted you. He has no use for imbeciles.
Surely you can provide a link to the supposed statement that Cruz Sr. made about his wife being Canadian? You wouldn't lie to us or anything, would you, mortal morsel? Where is the statement? Where is the link? Where is anything but your lies?
You are a liar. Soon you will be demons**t.

A Donald Trump supporter told me she likes Ted Cruz but doesn't believe he is tough enough to handle the powerful forces he'd face in the general e******n and asked me to convince her otherwise.

Here is a summary of what I told her.

I think you overestimate the power of those forces -- a crippled Hillary Clinton team and weakened Democrats. And I gather you mistake Trump's toughness in business for the muscular resolve he'd need in public office -- while underestimating Cruz's steel backbone.

The only way to reverse the statism and autocratic lawlessness beleaguering America is through conservative principles. Trump has no conservative core, so no matter how tough he is, I see nothing to convince me he would fight for principles he barely believes in.

We need to start having confidence in our own ideas and quit being so scared of the media and establishment powers you seem to fear. We empower them through this weakness. Cruz has already been tested and passed. Trump, while reputed to be a brass-knuckles brawler, has already waffled on several positions during the campaign, including his signature issue of immigration.

Just as you implored me to respond to your email, I implore you to listen to your own heart. You've conceded that Cruz would be the best candidate in two decades. Why compromise yourself based on abstract fears about a media boogeyman or other forces that surely will oppose him? Cruz's strength and resolve are among his finest attributes. Look at what he has done against all odds already.

Few gave him any chance at first. Many have ganged up on him. The press has alternatively savaged and ignored him. Yet he has plowed forward and is within striking distance of Trump. He has done so by smart, disciplined organization and his consistent principled message.

Yes, Trump can be tough, but there are various kinds of toughness. The relevant kind is the strength to resist pressure to deviate from core principles. Cruz has held the same firm beliefs his entire life. This is who he is. He will not abandon them.

Trump, on the other hand, is pliable because he has fewer core principles that he couldn't abandon without great anguish. In his heart of hearts, he is either a moderate with many liberal tendencies or simply a pragmatic populist. For the life of me, I can't understand how people can ignore that Trump has never been conservative and that he's never even claimed to have a conversion. If you listen closely, he even mocks true conservatism and downplays Ronald Reagan's vintage conservatism. He not only has bought political influence all his life but also brags about it. Only moral relativists can distinguish the buyer of influence from the seller.

You might argue that it doesn't matter whether he's a constitutional conservative; we just need to shake things up. But please think through this. That the left and establishment GOP have created (and allowed) this deplorable mess does not mean we must aimlessly rearrange it with machismo. We cannot solve our many problems by introducing more chaos. The way to ensure America's resurrection as the shining city on a hill is through constitutional and conservative principles. The power of the people resides in an enduring Constitution, not in populist ear candy.

Our main goal should be to vastly shrink the federal leviathan -- not annihilate the establishment, though it will implode in the process as a direct result. Our main enemy is the out-of-control government that has sucked all of freedom's oxygen out of our system. We must reinstitute constitutional principles because they guarantee the principle of limited government. Many nations in history have had democratic participation, but none other has enjoyed our singular brand of liberty because they all have lacked structural limitations on government, the primary enemy of liberty throughout history.

As a constitutional conservative of deep and abiding conviction, Cruz is uniquely qualified to restore the integrity of the Constitution, from guarding our nation's borders and thus its sovereignty to shrinking the federal government and its unaccountable administrative branch to appointing constitutionalist justices to reinforcing the separation of powers to recapturing the principle of federalism and ensuring governmental powers are more evenly divided between the federal government and state governments to upholding the Bill of Rights in toto to unleashing the power of the free market, resulting in explosive economic growth, to rebuilding our military.

Cruz understands and embraces all these ideas and truly believes the antidote to America's ailments is constitutional and conservative principles. Neither "Constitution" nor "conservatism" is a red-meat sound bite to him. We don't want a president who will, like a liberal, employ an ends-justify-the-means approach to governance. We can't have a chief executive or commander in chief flouting the Constitution, even for noble policy ends. It's one thing for the left to trample the Constitution, but once the right starts doing it also, it's over and you can kiss this nation, as founded, goodbye.

President Cruz would not act lawlessly -- i.e., outside his constitutional scope. If elected by campaigning on a clear conservative message, he would have a clear mandate to implement a strong, conservative agenda.

I believe as an American I have a fiduciary duty to my country, and as a parent, I have a fiduciary duty to my children and fellow Americans not to squander this nation's future and their future by allowing my frustration with the ruling class to lead me to choose the wrong remedy for the mess we're in.

We need a particular kind of strength in statecraft. And that kind of strength can only be derived by a strong, unwavering commitment to principles. So in analyzing the toughness issue, please use the proper metrics. Donald Trump is tough in certain ways. But he is not tough when criticized, and blistering criticism is the standard fare of politics. Ted Cruz is the opposite. He would do what he says he'd do; he's already proved that. And what he says he'd do is the only remedy for this ailing nation.

:roll: It works both Ways!!! and we must decide one way or the Other. In my Opinion Trump Has more Fire under his tail !!! and he is not afraid to tell it like it is. Ted Cruz is to Mushy!! and can't follow up with what he should be doing to help Us. Now what's your Opinion?
Is Ted Cruz as Tough as Donald Trump? br David Lim... (show quote)


Ted Cruz is a f**e conservative. He says he believes in the Constitution, but he insists he is natural-born contrary to what the Constitution says. He pretends to believe in it, but in Texas, he told some defendants that when he and George Bush said it was against the Constitution and that had no constitutional rights. He is a sleaze-bag and a liar. That is all I need to know. He says he has points on all the issues, but a visit to his website shows different. Trump's website has addressed all of the issues. Trump was a citizen of Canada and just renounced his citizenship in 2014. He must not be our President, or the theory that Canada and Mexico are trying to squeeze out the USA and make it one nation won't be far away.

I would call them partly f*****t, and partly anarchists. Some of them are like the Occupy wh**ever dumbasses who were paid to show up, and had no idea what they were protesting and could not care less.
The Union protesters in WI that tried to give Governor Walker were the same. Many were not Wisconsin residents, Many were not even Union members, but were bussed in and paid by Unions to protest.

In the event Trump wins the presidency , he will do as much as he can to deliver what he has said he will. While making the political establishment ery very angry and putting many of them out of work. After 4 years of that, he'd will a second term in a landslide. , Ted, having learned, would have a good chance in 2024.....Inheriting a nation with less debt, lower taxes and more advantageous trade agreements and good relationships with our allies including Israel.
