Obviously I found this after my last post...
Hmmmmm. Paul/Cruz or Cruz/Paul. I could get behind that ticket. ;-)

ETA: Is the death of the Republican Party really such a bad thing if it is replaced by a party that truly believes in and adheres to Constitutional principles? I'm not going to shed any tears over the loss of the GOP as it exists today. They're almost as bad as the Democrats.
Sure...but I still have my reservations about Rand Pauls' libertarian political pedegree...There are some issues that I, as a conservative have some dissagreements about that political philosophy...

And I am unapologetic about those dissagreements...Thats why, on political positions, I find myself not getting too excited about his potential future campaign to lead this country...

My crystal ball says he won't win Texas either in a primary...I think he might be close, but it will not win him full delegates/electoral votes...

RottenApple wrote::iagree: Cruz has done more to try save our Republic in his limited time in national office than many (if not most) lifelong Republican congress critters. It's hardly his fault that he's fighting an uphill battle against both parties. The fact is that right now, about all he can do is stand as a roadblock. Democrats are actively destroying this nation, and Republicans are passively (and in some cases actively) helping them. He's been a rock and, should he run, he's got my vote.
What exactly ha he done???

I do agree with you that he is a fantastic conservative and has voted as I would on some issues...I too would support a run for the office...

You do make a great point in that he IS a roadblock (I like that, we need more folks like him who are unconcerned about the political fallout from being an obstructionist)!!! That to me is the most significant thing he is doing...Much to the chagrin of the republican party leadership and the democrats in general...

Re: Ted Cruz for President 2016?

Ok, before anyone accuses me of throwing cold water on this, I preface my following comments with my absolute support of Ted Cruz in his visibility and actions so far in his first term as Senator from Texas...

First...He will not get enough national support from the establishment "elite" republican leadership in the party...

Second...That will translate into lackluster name recognition, much less enough support from the voting base...

Third...The democrats would love to see him run, and will actually support his attempt to do so...Therefore the other candidates running will be watered down enough to where the bid for any republican against a new cadre of democrat candidates will be weaker than the past two general election cycles...

The same will apply for just about ANY republican desiring to make a run on this...That goes for your Rubio, Rand Paul, and any other person being mentioned in the near future for the job at 1600 Pennsylvania...

So far, I have not heard of anyone else besides those two being smoozed by supporters this early in the game...
