We need more real men like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio. Real Americans.

McCain's got far more sense than Cruz. Cruz aggressively exposed himself as a useless idiot and a blowhard. What a fool.
McCain is the darling of the left, again.

this statement alone should show everyone the 'turned up side thinking" of the extream right.

to call a junior senator ...'a man who stands on pricnciple and a American Hero'.

and to call a man that served his country durring war a 'coward' is just bizzare.

This younger generation of Americans is mind boggling.

Not bogus...read up on it, it is quite interesting. Ayn Rand was a sociopath and her followers were also like-minded.
What garbage! And you are qualified to make such an assessment?

What makes you think Cruz is a "follower" of Ayn Rand? I see no mention of Ayn Rand in anything I read about Ted Cruz in his bio.

Cruz is very well educated and a graduate of Princeton University, and graduate of Harvard Law School "with highest honors" (avoiding the Latin term that this forum will not allow).

Referring to Cruz's time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."

Not all conservatives have agreed with Ayn Rand's political philosophy, even if they believe in capitalism. William F. Buckley Jr. denounced Ayn Rand, and decided that Rand's hostility to religion made her philosophy unacceptable to his understanding of conservatism.

You are simply throwing stones like the school yard bully that you are.

Only one of those is actually a natural born citizen. The Dems will need Rubio when it comes to the immigration reform.

This was a failed effort from the start, if he stood on principle to take sensible action on government spending he could have made his case, what exactly were his principles other than defund ACA, what were his plans. Running on a platform that does nothing but try to bring democracy to a standstill because you don't like ACA is not principle, it's madness. Name one sensible action that Cruz took to make us a better country.

This is a good point. How can anyone make such statements about Ted Cruz and not Obama?

For your information, I'm not of "the younger generation," and I am not a member of any "extreme right." What is "extreme" about standing for American freedom, and the ideas of our founders? The extremists are the "Progressives" (Democrats and Republicans like McCain) who are trying to destroy America.

"Progressivism" is warmed over Marxist/socialism.

I also served in Viet Nam. McCain may have been a vet who was held prisioner, but that alone does not make a hero, and much time has passed since those days.

I don't know what kind of man McCain was then, but he is no "man" now, and he is certainly no "hero". He is a weak kneed, "go along to get along" coward, who will not take a stand, and he does not speak for me.

McCain is a traitor to Republican ideas, is no conservative, but is a Progressive, like all the Democrats he stands with.

McCain is a traitor to the American idea.

You'd better do your homework. You're understanding of "natural born citizen" is incorrect.
