A month ago I predicted a Cruz-Rubio ticket. Now that Cruz has overtaken Carson to run neck-and-neck with Trump in the Iowa Quinnipiac University poll, Cruz is looking a lot like a winner. Here are my top 10 reasons to back him.
10. He really knows economics--not the ideologically driven pablum dished out at universities, but the real battlefield of entrenched monopolies against entrepreneurial upstarts. As Asheesh Agarwal and John Delacourt reported in this space, he did a brilliant job at the Federal Trade Commission:
"Cruz promoted economic liberty and fought government efforts to rig the marketplace in favor of special interests. Most notably, Cruz launched an initiative to study the government’s role in conspiring with established businesses to suppress e-commerce. This initiative ultimately led the U.S. Supreme Court to open up an entire industry to small e-tailers."
Anyone can propose tax cuts. It takes real know-how to cut through the regulatory kudzu that is strangling America enterprise.

I want someone who believes in national sovereignty, personal freedom, protecting our borders and not Goldman Sachs. With a Goldman Sachs insider wife, how does Cruz reckon all that?
ReplyDeleteDon't ask me. :)
DeleteA natural born citizen would not have another citizenship to renounce.........
ReplyDeleteLike Obama.....Ted Cruz, Rubio and Jindal are not, and I repeat, are not going to ever be ELIGIBLE for the Presidency and why in our Patriot of hearts would we ever allow them to be????
Our Founders ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS were actually made very clear to us and there have been FOUR SUPREME Court Cases clarifying their intent and why especially they were so strict with the Natural Born clause opposed to that of Citizen at Birth...
To be eligible, one must be born of PARENTS [plural] who are CITIZENS [plural] of the same country, meaning; you must be birthed upon American Soil.
Queen Noor, also known as Noor Al-Hussein, is the window of King Hussein of Jordan...A devout Muslim now deceased..
Together King Hussein and Queen Noor have generated 4 children....Princess Raiyah bint Al Hussein, Prince Hamzah bin Al Hussein, Princess Iman bint Al Hussein, Prince Hashim Al Hussein
Queen Nor is an Native Born American citizen of two American Parents who are also citizens of the United States of America, who became a Muslim convert and each of their children have been practicing Muslims from birth...
My question is, would you allow them to run for the Presidency of the United States of American, or would you protest them as you did Baraq Hussein Obama????
Keep in mind all of you, since many of you are encouraging Senator Cruz, Senator Rubio, and Senator Jindal to run for the presidency of the United States, they according to YOURS, the Democrats and Republicans idea (redefinition) of Natural Born Citizen are ELIGIBLE, and since Queen Noors and King Husseins children fall under the very same Natural Born definitions as these Senators do, then they too, are ELIGIBLE for our highest office?
Remember...Queen Noor is an American by birth… If Barack Obama and Ted Cruz are both eligible to be President and if all it takes to be President of the United States is just one American parent [singular] -not- parents [plural].... then by what legal means could we prevent Queen Noor’s Jordanian born Muslim children from running for President if they wanted to? She has four children. And they are all devout MUSLIMS.....
As will the 12 million Amnestied Mexicans anchor baby's...
Rubio and Jindal are not Natural Natives, they are Citizens at Birth...We often refer to those like them as anchor baby's because neither parent were Naturalized Citizens when they were born upon American soil....
Rubio & Jindal are Citizens at Birth and their parents are Naturalized Citizens.
That being the case, by redefining the requirements our framers made for Natural Born status....
The amnestied parent-parents of the many anchor baby's in America will be Naturalized making them American Citizens of the United States, and since their children were born on American soil, they, by YOURS the Democrats and Republicans redefinition of Natural Born will be eligible to run for our highest office...
Do you really believe our Founding Fathers would have allowed this???
I would have thought that Obama was a good enough a lesson for all of us, of what an outsider can do to damage this Republic, and that Patriot Citizens would be moved to be more aggressive in requiring their President be eligible....But by the massive support I see of Cruz and Rubio getting, I can see that we have not learned anything...
Think about it for a moment...12 million amnestied border jumpers and their anchor baby's being eligible to Preside over your CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN....
4 Supreme Court Cases on Eligibility...

May well be, but in my view, unless there is a Trump/Cruz ticket, Hillary wins.
DeleteJeff, I agree with you 99%- However, an exception must be made for those persons born elsewhere of parents who are both American citizens with unquestioned allegiance to the USA due to military or diplomatic service. John McCain was vetted by the Senate when he ran in 2008. Funny how the Senate didn't do a similar formal vetting of Obama where the real questions remain unanswered. No doubt the GOPe traitors wanted to float their equally ineligible guy to the top of the heap (Rubio, Cruz, not so much Jindal).
DeleteMaybe this is all a precursor to eliminating entirely the Natural-born requirement and allow anyone born in our country to run for POTUS. There are plenty of naturalized citizens who love this country and are totally loyal. There are natural-born citizens who don't love America or what it stands for - these people are the NWO/Globalists (Bushes and Clintons are in that group). My mom was a Canadian citizen when I was born here in America. She loved America as I do, but I am not eligible to run for POTUS. Dang!
I might add as well that the basis for the requirement of Natural Born Citizen were made very clear by our Founding Fathers as a qualification to become President was to eliminate foreign influence at the highest level of our government. The Founding fathers intent was to insure that the security of our nation would not devolve to anyone with loyalties other than to the USA.
ReplyDeletePeople just don't understand that when our Constitution was written we were still under threat of invasion, as was the case with the wars against Britain in 1812-1814 some 36 years after the Revolutionary war...
The founding Fathers knew that Britain still held quite a lot of influence over Her new government, and that they needed to provide a protection against that influence and installed the Natural Born provision ...
Thanks.
DeleteNot only does he not qualify, I wouldn't ever vote for him even if he did.
ReplyDeleteTed Cruz said he’d ramp up tensions with Russia and China if he became America’s commander-in-chief – risking nuclear war to pursue America’s hegemonic agenda.
Sounds like another McShame.
I didn't see that. Thanks.
