Senator Ted Cruz has announ
ced his candidacy for President of the United States in 2016… and the long knives have come out.
Rep. Peter King, representing the state of New York’s 2nd district, a Remocrat if there ever was one, described Cruz as a “carnival barker” and he remarked Cruz is not “experienced.” This remark, from a so-called Republican that sides with the Democrats more than his side of the aisle, should shame Mr. King, a disgrace to the Republican Party.
Another Marxist, Gov. Jerry Brown of Fantasyland (CA) said Cruz was “totally unfit to run” because he didn’t believe in global warming. Gov. Brown, when the reality of the weather doesn’t fit the computer models for global warming, are you ever going to admit YOU and others of your ilk are wrong – science is not a consensus – it is fact. Global temperatures have been cooling since 1997.
Jerry, you might want to fire up another doobie and get back to the hot tub in Sacramento – you’re out of your league and a two-bit governor of a state that is broke, bankrupt, kaput! I was in your state when you were governor the first time and you haven’t learned a thing. California deserves a throw-back hippie like you. Don’t bogart (apologies to Humphrey) that joint, my friend, pass it over to me! Yeah, right Jerry.
The liberal media jumped on the announcement as tantamount of going back into the “dark ages.” The “View” ladies squawked and squealed like they were hogs stuck with a knife about how much of an“idiot” Ted Cruz is. When the liberals start squawking about a real conservative candidate, that’s when I start smiling – their ox has been gored. That means they fear Ted Cruz like no other Republican candidate.
And when liberals, commies, and Marxists are scared, he’s the right candidate for the Republican Party. Don’t get me wrong, the Republican bench is strong and there are others that will jump on the bandwagon, but Ted Cruz is one impressive candidate.

U.S. Senate – 2012-Present
Cruz announced his candidacy after Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson said she would not seek re-election and won his seat over Democrat Paul Sadler with 56.4% of the vote.
Now he wants to run for President in 2016 and the liberal left is apoplectic over Senator Cruz. Good, because if they are out of their head crazy over Senator Cruz’s candidacy, he must be considered a huge threat to them. Let’s see what he believes and why it is so out of the leftist ideology:
• Border Security
• Uphold Second Amendment Rights
• Smaller Government
• Balanced Federal Budgets
• More Power to States
• Strong Defense
• Repeal of Obamacare
• Immigration Reform
• Tax Reform
And he doesn’t even need a teleprompter to get through a speech.
Yeah, sounds pretty radical to me! About time we had a real leader and president for all Americans in the White House. Go Senator Cruz!
