What the... You may want to step away from the computer, turn off the talk radio, and pick up a book that isn't written by Jonah Goldberg. Maybe start with Das Kapital and then re-evaluate the statement above.

Wondering if Obama's "ivy league" degree (Does he actually have one?) impresses you, since Cruz' credentials exceed Obama's. Cruz is also a better speaker, and he doesn't need a teleprompter.

Descriptions like "moron," "dunce" don't mean much, as that's how the Left always describe their opponents. It's just so Alinskyesque.

How do you know they were "only there because attendance is required?" Do you know that they wouldn't have been their otherwise? I wonder why he got so many loud cheers and at least one standing ovation (if not more). Doesn't sound like they were showing any resistance to having been "forced" to attend.

Your remarks are based on nothing but hatred and without merit.

Well, we finally agree on something. Lying is a tool. And no one does it better than Ted Cruz:

"Cruz’s Politifact track record for publicly-asserted falsehoods is the second-highest among front-runners, totaling 56 percent of all statements they’ve looked at. The only other leading contender with a higher rating is Ben Carson, who has a 100 percent “pants on fire” history, the result mainly of his brief time in the national spotlight and only having given Politifact one assertion to check—that people choose to be gay."

The Truth Behind Ted Cruz

Cruz is a consummate liar. And irony of all ironies, his campaign video is titled "A Time For Truth." The thing is, for Teddy, that time never comes.

He just isn't likable.
Really? "McCarthy like behavior?" LOL You realize that it turned out McCarthy was right, don't you?

Are you pro-communist? Of course you are, if your a "Progressive." "Progressive" = Marxist/socialist/communist (all collectivists, which is what "progressives" are).

This guy has game, with no dirt to dig.
The realization that Hilary is going to be very embarrassed, is coming over them faster than Speedy Gonzalez, on meth.

You have anything with substance, details, facts, or supporting information?

The Cruz family ties with Fidel Castro will be his downfall when the public becomes aware of the facts.

I never read anything by Jonah Goldberg, but perhaps I should. Thanks for the recommendation.

Let me make a recommendation to you: Quit reading Daily Kos, "Think Progress" (funded by George Soros), and the "Southern Poverty Law Center" (funded by George Soros).

What bills in Congress has Cruz authored?

His father must have struggled deciding whether to name him Fidel or Rafael.
