Rick Perry Endorses Ted Cruz
« on: January 25, 2016, 08:52:14 AM »
Rick Perry Endorses Ted Cruz for President

 Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is throwing his support behind a fellow Texan -- Sen. Ted Cruz -- in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

The Lone Star State endorsement marks one of Cruz's most high-profile backers and aims to give his campaign a much-needed boost just one week before the crucial, first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa.

"Of those individuals who have a chance to win the Republican primary, at this juncture, from my perspective, Ted Cruz is by far the most consistent conservative in that crowd," Perry told Politico on Sunday night. "And that appears to be down to two people."

Perry, who gave up his own unsuccessful presidential bid in September after just 97 days on the trail, had been plagued by stagnant polling and lackluster fundraising.

The former Texas governor had been a vocal critic of Trump, especially during the final weeks of his campaign, calling the billionaire a "cancer on conservatism" and bashing his "nativist appeals."

"He knows he's going to surround himself with people who do have that experience, and I'm very satisfied that on Day 1, he will be ready to be commander-in-chief," Perry told Politico.

Cruz's campaign has suffered blows in Iowa over the last week. His leading rival Donald Trump locked up the endorsement of 2008 vice-presidential nominee and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in a memorable speech last Tuesday.

Sen. Marco Rubio, currently in third in recent Iowa polling, nabbed the coveted backing of the Des Moines Register newspaper, which has thrown its support behind the eventual Republican nominee since 1996.

And two recent Iowa polls have shown Trump stretching his lead to 11 percentage points in the Hawkeye State, with Cruz's advantage among evangelicals slipping away.

Trump also leads the Republican field by double-digits nationally and in the nation's second contest in New Hampshire, so his opponents see Iowa as a crucial state in which to stop the real estate mogul from gaining early momentum.

Cruz, who has received support from prominent conservative Glenn Beck, served as solicitor general during Perry's administration in Texas, but Perry originally backed his own lieutenant governor David Dewhurst over Cruz during his 2012 run for the U.S. Senate.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Cruz as VP?  I highly doubt it.  Honestly, I don't think Cruz would accept.  They started out on friendly terms; the two of them got together and put together a rally against Obama's IRAN nuke deal.  They never attacked each other during debates nor really in the press.  Then Cruz climbs in the polls overtaking Trump in Iowa.  Trump has been relentless in attacking Cruz ... he is now out to destroy Cruz.  Ironically, he at one time stated that he would pick him as his VP, so much so that he had his lawyers check into the birther situation and admittedly found that Cruz was eligible.  Yet, he attacks him. 

Because of Trump's recent statements and actions, I am 100% convinced that Trump has been and is nothing more than a siphon for the Democrats.  Making statements such as he needs to become more establishment so that he could get things done and he could shoot someone and his voters would still support him shows his true colors.  From the very beginning he proclaimed that he was anti-establishment, but yet now he is saying that he needs to become more establishment?  Really?  Then talks about shooting someone?  This is the idiot people want running this country?  His purpose was nothing more than to make sure a conservative like Cruz didn't get in.  RINO's like McConnel, McCain, Ryan are scared to death of Cruz. They know that Cruz will NOT pander to the leftists nor to the RINO's.  He would put an end to the 'blame game' that BOTH parties hide behind.  Cruz will break up the Kingmakers in Washington.

I see Trump no different than Obama.  Obama, an unknown duped people into believing that he would bring about the 'hope and change' that this country needs.  Trump is duping people into believing that he will make America great again?  Really folks wake up.  Both men want nothing more than to make themselves great.  I tried warning people about Obama and no one listened; no one bothered to check his record in the senate. They only went by what he said and not what he hid. I was right. Obama has been a disaster.  I am trying to warn people about Trump; unfortunately he has no record to check.  The only thing people can judge him by are his actions; his crass personality and his attacks on people -- do you think he will treat the American people any differently?  He was born into wealth, took the money, found loopholes in the tax codes and created businesses ... businesses that became flops and he was billions of dollars in debt over--- if it wasn't for him making back room deals with banks he would have lost his wealth. He will be no different as president -- he will make back room deals with the left (he already stated so) as long as it gets him what HE wants.  If not, like Obama he will use his mighty pen.  Trump will continue us in the same direction.  He talks about immigration and Muslims ... but ... he is ALL talk.  He will do what his cronies in Washington want him to do...as long as it makes Trump great.

Looks like you hate Trump. At least you did not compare him to the Devil.  :lmao:Trump will pick Cruz as his running mate and the two will make a great team.

What the he'll is it with the Trumpbots that any little criticism of The Donald means someone hates him?

Everyone here that has criticized him has also at one point or another has said they'd vote for him if he's the nominee. 

You're supposed to be critical of the candidates for your party on substantial issues during the primaries. 

That’s not hate. That's using your brain.

Just knee jerking to every critique with "you just hate Trump"  is dumb and shows you really can't defend him on the issues.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

When you have to resort to calling supporters of another candidate such as Trumpbots, cultists, worshipers, idiots, etc. that's not exactly called using your brain. It is called tunnel vision. When you have Libertybell comparing Trump to Obama, that verifies that some Cruz supporters are bat shit crazy.

I am not going to waste my time on what Trump said 10 or 20 years ago. People change their opinions.

You claim he is a gun grabber. Truth is that is not so; his two sons are hunters and he has a carry permit which is difficult to obtain in NYC.

News flash: Many voters are tired of ALL politicians and that includes Cruz. Nothing you can say or do will change that.

Excuse me.  You are entitled to your opinion as am I; but to call me bat shit crazy for my opinion is offensive and uncalled for!  I think you have your head up your rear end; but I have refrained from saying it till now. 

Cruz is not a Washington insider.  If he was, they would have welcomed his rise in the polls and helped him.  No they went with a liberal who they know will play their game.  IMHO Trump is no different than Obama or Hillary. I believe we have a coup going on ... Trump is part of that coup.  Cruz, the most conservative candidate is being crapped on by the establishment of his own party.  At one time he was beating Trump in Iowa ... what does the establishment of Cruz's party do ... they crap on him.  Trump was meant to take out the conservative candidates; especially Cruz.  If the election doesn't go to the DEMS expect Trump to pick someone like Bush or Christie.  This was nothing more than a charade by the GOPe.  You know sort of like when they ousted Boehner and every was so excited then they put Ryan in ... Mr. conservative himself right?

Opinions are like A-holes. Everybody got one. However, you are the first one that states that Trump is no different than Obama or Hillary. Why don''t you just include Lucifer while you are at it.

Cruzz is a Senator; so that makes him an insider. He knows that if he does not win Iowa or come in a close second,  it is all over for him. He will be shooting for VP and Trump and Cruz will make a great team. No way in hell will Trump pick Bush or Christie. That is a rear ender if I ever heard one. BTW, you are excused. :-)

I don't need you to excuse me.  I'm stating my opinion.  Trump is no different than Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, and Reid and the rest of the DEMS and RINOGOP country club.  He's been party of the 'establishment circuit' for quite sometime...

Here is a history of Trump’s voter registration since 1987:

* JULY 1987: Trump registers for the first time from his Fifth Avenue penthouse. The real estate developer, 41 at the time, reports having previously been registered from his boyhood home in Queens (though his prior party affiliation is unclear). Trump enrolls as a REPUBLICAN.

* OCTOBER 1999: Trump dumps the GOP and enrolls as a member of the INDEPENDENCE PARTY.

* AUGUST 2001: Trump enrolls as a DEMOCRAT.

* SEPTEMBER 2009: After eight years as a Democrat, Trump returns to the REPUBLICAN PARTY.

* DECEMBER 2011: Trump lasts two years before he again abandons the party of Ronald Reagan. He eschews the GOP in favor of siding with no party. On his registration form, “The Apprentice” star checks off the box marked “I DO NOT WISH TO ENROLL IN A PARTY.”

* APRIL 2012: Trump registers as a REPUBLICAN.

Not to mention his praises and association with the Clintons, especially Hillary:

Unfortunately, you are correct. As much as I want to like trump, particularly because of some of the things he said about immigration and due to his being totally not PC, the reality is that hes spent a lifetime as a lefty liberal.

Has his position changed? Maybe. Maybe not. We already know he can be bought. His statement about Iowa ethanol subsidies proves it. Yeah hes not taking money from special interests, but hes using the potential of doling out public money to buy votes in Iowa, FROM a special interest. Its really not any better. Ethanol is a bad bad deal. It can not survive without subsidies. Because of that, it should be allowed to die rather than be propped up with taxpayer dollars. Anything less, is BIG GOVERNMENT.  Subsidizing that which can not exist without subsidies , is the textbook definition.

 I'm not even going to vote this round (I'm in a very safe precinct, and other reasons), but if I were, this is where I'd be thinking:

Theres really only one uniquely high priority, which sits above ALL others when it comes to the next election: Supreme Court nominations. Who would President Trump nominate as a justice? Thats a very uncomfortable question to ponder.

The ONLY one I'd trust to nominate USSC justices, is Cruz. Keep in mind that we are just 1 vote away from losing the second amendment. 1 vote away from lefty approved restrictions on speech. One vote away from a change that could last well beyond the rest of our lives regardless whos at the reins.

And you and a couple others here have a very bad case of that.

Not hardly.  Batshit crazy is completely ignoring a candidates voting and donating past and his stances on issues that he's suddenly flip flopped on as late as the summer of 2015.

You're basing your blind devotion to Trump on the fact he's a bully and he's said he'll toss out all the Muslims and build a wall.  The last two I'm all in favor of.  After those two things...he's really got nothing other than a bunch of fluff about doing "great things with great people".  And when he's questioned about his past record and stances on issues...he lashes out and starts a leftist style character assassination of the person that dares question him.  Just like his flowers. That's not a plan...that's not a campaign strategy.

That's all hat and no cattle.

Quote
I am not going to waste my time on what Trump said 10 or 20 years ago. People change their opinions.

But yet you'll do exactly that to Obama or any Republican not named Trump that's running.

Ok we won't go back 15 or 20 years ago.  Lets go back to more recent stances and things Turmp has said and done.

Quote
The real estate mogul and "Celebrity Apprentice" host has made more than $1.3 million in donations over the years to candidates nationwide, with 54 percent of the money going to Democrats, according to a Washington Post analysis of state and federal disclosure records.

Recipients include Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.), former Pennsylvania governor Edward G. Rendell, and Rahm Emanuel, a former aide to President Obama who received $50,000 from Trump during his recent run to become Chicago's mayor, records show.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trumps-donation-history-shows-democratic-favoritism/

Quote
Records show that in June 2006, Trump donated $20,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That was in addition to the $5,000 he sent in April 2005 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. At the same time, Trump Jr. gave the two Democratic committees a total of $22,500.

While the Trumps spent nearly $50,000 to elect congressional Democrats, they donated only $1,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRSC).

But perhaps the worst outcome that election for Republicans was that Pelosi and Reid became Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, respectively. The pair made a formidable team and did heavy lifting to ensure that Obama was elected in 2008 and that much of his agenda — including Obamacare — was put in place.

<snip>

Topping the flamboyant former TV celebrity’s roster of Democratic benefactors is scandal-plagued New York U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel. Records show the Harlem-based Democrat has received $26,250 in Trump cash since 1989. Trump Jr., has given heavily to Rangel as well.

New York Sens. Kristen Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer have received $7,950 and $7,900, respectively, in Trump money. And two liberal lions, former Massachusetts Sens. John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, received $5,500 and $5,000.

Trump also arguably helped enable Obamacare in another way — albeit before the health law was a twinkle in any liberal’s eye. Trump supported two of its most ardent supporters in Reid and New York U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner. He donated $7,400 to the Nevada Democrat. Among those contributions is $2,400 Trump gave Reid ahead of his contentious 2010 run against Sharron Angle, a tea party favorite.

Trump also gave $4,300 to Weiner, a dogged supporter of Obamacare who was forced to resign his seat following a sexting scandal.

And lets not forget his love for Hillary

Quote
New York real estate mogul Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka have donated a combined total of at least $105,000 to the Clinton Foundation, records show.

“Donald J. Trump” is listed on the foundation’s website as giving between $100,000 and $250,000 to the charitable organization.

“Ivanka Trump,” meanwhile, is listed as a donor who gifted between $5,001 and $10,000 to the nonprofit.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/242088-trump-gave-at-least-100k-to-clinton-foundation

Quote
In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton “terrific” again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

And on Fox and Friends on Wednesday, Trump explained why he donated to Clinton’s campaigns.

“I’m a businessman. I contribute to everybody,” Trump said. “When I needed Hillary, she was there. If I say ‘go to my wedding,’ they go to my wedding.”

http://time.com/3962799/donald-trump-hillary-clinton/

He has a record of supporting letting "refugees" in from Syray...as late as this last summer.

He's pro gay marriage...didn't have a problem with repealing DADT...he wants to start a tariff war with Mexico and China which would kill what little is left of any forward momentum in our economy.

And now he's talking about making deals with Congress.  The very establishment types you say people are tired of.  He's out there bragging about how he's got establishment types asking to join his campaign.

His negatives are in double digits and the bulk of his support right now isn't coming from Republicans.  It's coming from Democrats.

But hey...don't let the facts...things that seriously need to be debated in the primaries...get in the way of your blind following of The Mighty Donald Trump.

You claim he is a gun grabber. Truth is that is not so; his two sons are hunters and he has a carry permit which is difficult to obtain in NYC.

Never said that.  Check your facts.

News flash: Many voters are tired of ALL politicians and that includes Cruz. Nothing you can say or do will change that.

People are tired of politicians who lie to them or pretend to be something they aren't.  And they certainly don't want someone who is perceived as an "outsider"...to suddenly start engaging in leftist style attacks and rubbing elbows with the RINOs.

Has his position changed? Maybe. Maybe not.



And one he's in the WH is not the time we need to find that out LOL!

With all those negatives, he should be in last place instead of first.

 Voters are tired of so called conservative politicians who say one thing and do another when they get to DC. Many have decided to give an outsider a chance to build up the military, bring jobs back home, halt immigration from M.E. countries, secure our southern borders, improve the economy and take back our rightful place as the greatest country in the world. We should be doing more for our own people that are suffering instead of pissing money away on refugees, foreign aid, more wars, funding a large share to the UN and world trade organization and letting other countries to screw over us on trade. Those principals will make America great again.   

I believe Trump will be the Repub.  nominee because he has a positive message to the country. I think he will pick Cruz as his VP and that they will make us proud. My message is one of getting this country back on track. A third Obama term with Clinton would be devastating.

It is a positive message. However, if Trump does not pick Cruz as VP, I will the first to dump on him like shit on stink.

I do have some concerns about S.C. picks. My two favorites are Judge Napo and Judge Jeanie Pirro (sp). Hopefully, Congressional Repubs will not allow another  turncoat like Roberts to be confirmed.

  Theres really only one uniquely high priority, which sits above ALL others when it comes to the next election: Supreme Court nominations. Who would President Trump nominate as a justice? Thats a very uncomfortable question to ponder.
 

My money is on Hillary.

Well count Jerry Falwell Jr. as another Trump endorser as of today.  Almost done with Iowa, New Hampshire and possibly the primary contest depending upon outcomes in those two.  Assertions hurled at Trump and his supporters are beginning to sound a lot like sour grapes.  Some of them have been downright ridiculous.

I may be back after the first contests.  Don't feel particularly welcome here these days which I guess was the point for non Cruz fans. So probably not.

Oh now, madam, don't do that, don't be that way.

Ted Cruz 2016.  Reigniting the Promise of America!!!
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Exactly. I don't even know what words to use, to describe how crucial it is to not have any more lefties appointed as USSC justices.
