    His signature piece of legislation is a lie, its over a year behind schedule, and its already costing people their jobs.

    Obama and pals promised the world, and provided only pain and suffering.

    but hey you keep leading the charge !!!

    Let's see him run. I have no doubt that he will fail. Even if he was American born and as white as driven snow, I do not see him being able to win a national election against even the weakest viable candidate. He has too many extreme stances for the average American to swallow and too many negatives in some peoples eyes from his family history to get anywhere past state elections. I really dont care where he was born or who his dad is personally, for me it is all about his positions which might give a tea party crowd chubbies, but not this guy.

    Well I gladly voted for the lesser of two evils (Romney) but what can I say? The polls show what the polls show. Sorry if that upsets your little world view.
    Not nearly as many white people voted in 2012 as 2008...what can I say? About seven million less (and Herr Obama received nine million less votes than in 2008......).

    It seems that unlike you, not everyone was willing to swallow another crap sandwich after the first big bite in 2008.

    Reality is what it is. I sleep fine either way.

    How much are you willing to bet? Bet on Cruz' "Defund or Shutdown" plan not only happening....but "strong-arming Obama" in surrender?

    Mitt's $10,000 wagering money??? :)

    So YOU voted for Romney....but you believe "millions and millions of white people who think just like I do"....didn't?

    Birtherism is only fun with Cruz...in that it proves the Birthers are hypocrites or racists. He's eligible....the President more so...but Cruz is too.

    As for him as GOP Nominee in 2016?.....40+ states. That's what the Democrat would win, a Democratic city councilman from Salem's Lot, Maine could win....45+ if it was Hillary even giving Cruz a run for his money in his home-state of Texas.

    Why are you dishonestly putting quote marks around a remark I never made? Are you that desperate to "win"?

    If they indeed think exactly as I do they would have voted as I did. But they didn't vote at all, and pollsters have determined it was largely out of dissatisfaction with Romney's weak brand of conservatism. Grow up.

    I assume it will be like 2012 when you and your guy ran in the Republican primary.

    But when you didn't get the nomination walked off in a huff were never seen again.

    Couple points here

    1. What primary should Gary Johnson run in? He is a Republican.
    2. I was not a Gary Johnson supporter until later in the primary when I was given no other decent choice for president.
    3. I would have voted for Gingrich way before I voted for Romney or Obama.
    4. Gary Johnson never expected to get the nomination. Unlike Bachman, Cain, Paul, Santorum who actually thought they had a chance.
    5. Gary Johnson ran to spread awareness for true conservatism more than anything.
    6. I will gladly vote republican if we are given a good candidate, I would also vote democrat if given a good choice. Its all about the issues not the party.

    What videos or one sentence posts do you have that pertain to Cruz who is the subject of this thread?

    What is your obsession with Cruz? If he is such a nutcase and going to bring down the GOP and is nuts, etc...why do you post about him 15 times a day?

    When you didn't get your way you took your football and went home.

    Romney was not my first choice either but he was better than Obama.

    How MUCH are you willing to bet that Ted Cruz's "Defund or Shutdown" plan is enacted.....not even succeed....but that the GOP Leadership agrees to follow it?

    I agree, Obama is not a big enough man to defund the program. He will throw countless cash into it and hope the news media doesnt just say "is all this extra cost worth the program, what are we getting for it?"

    For the illiterate among us...I was not a Gary Johnson supporter until towards the end of the primary and I never expected him to win. The idea that I was mad and took my football home is just BS. Obama is a failure but I am not sure that Romney wouldnt have been worse. At least we know what we had with Obama, Romney has been a flaming liberal, a staunch conservative and whatever in between would get him what he wanted. Not a man I can trust.

    I'll try again: Is the paragraph WITHOUT QUOTATION MARKS supposed to be a quotation of Cruz?

    If you want to look at it that there's no way of knowing what any candidate will do till they get elected.

    Sorry, but i don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see that Romney would be a more conservative president than Obama.

    Perhaps someone who wants to "bring down the GOP" would NOT draw attention to the negative aspects of the very thing that he wants the opposition to embrace.

    Would not that person WANT his opponents to fail? Curious electric.

    Even a rocket scientist can be wrong. Romney may have caused more harm in other areas also or been just as bad economically. We have had this discussion before and I will say one last time...my vote is my vote and I will cast it for who I think is the best candidate, this is my right and my duty. If this upsets you that is your problem, I will not be coerced or bullied into voting for someone I do not want as president no matter how hard you try.
