Seeing where this will go. Thus far, 55 signatures.

Ted Cruz speaking out against Jeb Bush's pandering remarks on illegal immigration -"It's not a felony. It's an act of love." :smack

Cruz’s larger point is that the emphasis should be on legal immigration rather than illegal immigration. :thumbsup :thumbsup :highfive

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Definitely hoping that he runs for president.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

If you pay attention to what Fox (Faux) news, who supports the GOP Establishment, is saying, they are excluding both Cruz and Rand Paul as viable candidates. We did see how they framed the narrative to push everyone out of the way for Mitt, forming almost every question to include Mitt. That gave the impression there were no other choices. Blatantly dishonest of them.

Cruz is, thus far, very honest and principled. He is brilliant and focused. I think that if support for him would grow, he could reach out to Independents and win. The Independents, today, outnumber either party and can be counted on to turn an election on it's head. They will vote for whoever they feel is the most honest and principled. Enter Ted Cruz.

Biden has recently stated that the Democratic Party could lose to Ted Cruz. And I could see him eviscerate Hillary in any debate. I think she would be very afraid to go up against him.

I LOVED how he looked at Trayvon Martin's mother in the face, at the hearing on the issue of Stand Your Ground, and told her how sorry everyone was for the loss of her son but that this case had nothing to do with Stand Your Ground. He is brilliant and you can't argue with that. I can see him "stand his ground" with Hillary any day. :thumbsup

This is up to 2,198. Just following out of curiosity. I'm not sure a lot of people have arrived to get on the Cruz bandwagon yet.

I know he talks a big game. Anyone know where I can look at his voting record? I thought he was born in Canada. So isnt a POTUS run out of the question?

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Started out at 55 signatures.

Now, he is up to 13,480.

Interesting.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Can someone answer my ?s. Where can I find his voting record and I thought if you werent born here you cant be POTUS? isnt he a canuck?

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Read the information for yourself and you can decide. His mother is and was a US citizen.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Of all the troubling aspects of the Obama presidency, none is more dangerous than the President's persistent pattern of lawlessness, his willingness to disregard the written law and instead enforce his own policies via executive fiat.

Sen. Cruz has been documenting the Obama Administration’s lawlessness and other abuses of powers in a series of reports, beginning in April 2013.

The Legal Limit Report No. 1: U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Department of Justice’s Expansive View of Federal Power
SCOTUS unanimously rejects Obama Administration’s arguments for expanded federal power nine times


The Legal Limit Report No. 2: The Obama Administration’s Lawless Acts on Obamacare and Continued Court Challenges
Repeatedly, the Administration has ignored the plain text of Obamacare, its “signature legislative achievement.”


The Legal Limit Report No. 3: The Obama Administration’s Assault on Texas
The State of Texas has been forced to file multiple lawsuits to prevent the Obama Administration from encroaching on powers reserved for the States.

The Legal Limit Report No. 4: The Obama Administration’s Abuse of Power
A catalogue of power grabs regarding national security, Obamacare, the economy, executive nominees, free speech, privacy and more.

New Emails Show Need for Special Prosecutor to Investigate IRS Targeting
Sen. Cruz: Statements made by President Obama and Attorney General Holder “facially inconsistent”

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today sent the following letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking that he reconsider appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the illegal targeting program conducted by staff at the Internal Revenue Service in direct communication with the Department of Justice.

Sen. Cruz first requested that a special prosecutor be appointed to the case on January 22, 2014. On March 10, 2014, Attorney General Holder declined to do so. Now, in light of credible evidence that has surfaced indicating that the Department of Justice may have been involved in that illegal program, Sen. Cruz is asking Attorney General Holder to revisit appointing a special prosecutor with the independence and objectivity to fairly investigate the matter.

In his letter Sen. Cruz wrote:

Hey! what about your OTHER GUY??

Mike Pence????

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

I am not against Mike Pence. He is setting up a great track record for a run and I expect he will. He is doing a great job as Governor of Indiana! :thumbsup

Many people have stated they don't know Ted Cruz. Hence, the purpose of this thread.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Well, ive got a problem. my BIG issue with BHO... and an issue I still believe is a major source of problems for the country was BHOs lack of experiance. He was a jr senator with less than 100 days on the job.

Cruz has a couple years under his belt as a senator but no other major experiance that I know of.... I LIKE HIM A LOT as for as his principles and the way he operates. He is polished and has a lot to seriously like. but I am still not sure I want another guy who lacks certain chops.

If you remember that was my issue with Pence last time around. He has taken serious steps to fill in those gaps and I could really get behind him now.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Yes, and I do agree with you - it is going to be a Governor, it always has been.

I would much prefer Cruz to be our Governor in the near future.

Back to Mike Pence. I knew that he had a good Conservative record, but was concerned about his mannerisms that so closely resembled GWB. Without saying anything to my son, I showed him a short clip and he remarked, "Wow, he reminds me of GWB." LOL!

Now that he has some experience as Governor, I have noticed he has become more of his own man. I am very happy to see that.

He is more charismatic than Scott Walker, who I am also not totally opposed to. It looks like they are trotting Mike Pence out very slowly. I would be all for him, of course. He has done some great things in his state, recently, ending the death tax. :thumbsup

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Has anyone who wants this blow hard as their POTUS actually looked at his voting record? Or are they going by how he talks the talk? What was the point of him voting against aid for hurricane sandy victims? Voted NO on reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. Voted NO on protecting ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

This guy is all talk. When it comes down to it he will be your typical GOPer. For corporate welfare, doesnt care about protecting our environment, and doesnt care about the poor or assisting them. He is a joke. All talk.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

He voted NO on Sandy because of the PORK involved.

He voted NO on the Violence Against Women act because it is a STATE issue and not a FEDERAL issue.

He voted NO on the The National Endowment for the Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes Act because it is another Federal take over of our waterways (including ponds, ditches and gullies) as well as land - "develop a scheme for oversight of oceans and all the sources thereof..."

Do your homework before dumping a biased opinion, please.

I think fmc is a plant here. You know they are doing that on forums.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Thanks, I didn't know it, but from the posts, I can see the poster is biased without educated research. So, really this last post shows the person is not an intelligent plant.

And if this person is a plant, they need to be booted - muy pronto.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Why cause I dont agree with you? Cause I am not a GOPer? And who is they?

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Ted Cruz is in the same boat Obama was in before 08. All talk. No experience. Go on his voting record. I dont like it.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Says the guy who believes in the Benghazi scandal.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

These are the questions that Sen. Ted Cruz wants answered regarding Benghazi:

• Why did the State Department repeatedly refuse to provide additional security as was requested by personnel on the ground?
• Why did the United States not have military assets in place to protect American men and women on Sept. 11, 2012, when there was increased terrorist activity in the region?
• During the Benghazi attack, why didn’t the United States send in forces to protect the four men who lost their lives?
• In the 19 months that have followed, why has no one been apprehended, and no one been brought to justice?

http://blog.heritage.org/2014/05/06/...ions-benghazi/

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Stevens himself denied two times, last one being a month before the attacks, additional security.

No forces could have gotten there in time. Thats been proven.

I have no idea on the other two points in your list.

Again, Benghazi is an intelligence failure, not a massive cover up like some think.

I'll wait and see what Trey Gowdy has to say after all of the depositions are taken.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

Seriously? You really believe that?

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

No reason to not believe it. Its been proven by military personnel. What possible reason would Obama have for not sending in help that could have reached them? Why would he want them to die and not think twice? Nothing would have gotten there in time. I'll wait for your reasoning. Likely it will involve "He hates America." "He is a muslim." Rhetoric.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

You strike me as the type who believes what they want despite the facts. Thats the whole Benghazi witch hunt crowd in a nut shell.

I dont have any preconceived ideas about about Benghazi. GOPers do and they arent going to be happy until they have milked this thing for every last political gain.

Re: It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President
 

The facts dont add up to what the GOPers want them to not matter how hard they try.
