Cruz has the same qualifications as Obama did. If I haven't said it before, fuck that, I ain't voting for him.

In a country of of more than 350,000,000 you mean to tell me we can't come up with TWO people worth voting for instead of choosing the lesser of two evils? Fuck that.

You can. Vote libertarian. And don't give me any of that crybaby "but they don't have a chance to win" crap. If everybody would get off their ass and vote for who they REALLY wanted, we wouldn't be in this mess. Its like the people complaining about DLC with video games, yet they keep buying it. As long a

Cause after that dirty kenyan I want to see the lefties squirm like the worms they are. While he's running, you watch and see if they don't come out of the woodwork to talk about how he shouldn't be allowed in because he's from canada. As if kenya is such a better country. Oh, I've got a better one. We ought to forge him one from Hawaii.

Um...wanna recheck Cruz's resume?

You know, the emerging conservative leader in the US Senate- same one the GOP old-guard spent million$ trying to defeat-
that one:

• Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, and had the longest tenure in Texas history.
• Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.
• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court
• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States
• Described as a 'superb' constitutional lawyer, the man's considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all last week when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him answer the frickin question.
• In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms.
• Cruz presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools and the majority of the 2003 Texas redistricting plan. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.
• Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission
•
• Domestic Policy Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
• Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation
• Ted Cruz is currently junior US Senator from Texas. In order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%... 
he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

• On November 14, 2012, Cruz was appointed vice-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He is now spearheading efforts in the Senate to have Obamacare repealed root-and-branch...

Like The Great One Mark Levin says, re. this new wave of stand-straight-up patriots -TC, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, et. al: 'They're not perfect, nobody is- but they're damn good'.

He's not, but he's 547x better than mccrap or romney. 8 years of him sitting there telling the left to go get fucked is 8 years better than what those 2 douchenozzles would have done. Which is give in and give a rip about all their whining and crying.

[bcoop]

So now Rubio has announced he is running.
