Dennis Miller for President

One needs to go to the real center, not the left that the media currently portrays as the "center" in relation to the extreme left.

[badhattitude]

Like reasonable and conservative can be in the same sentence.

[Avenger]

Not in the liberal lexicon. But in the real America I think the majority is at least fiscally conservative, if not culturally conservative. Despite the left's best efforts to dismantle what makes us successful.

Heck, even the ummm,... trying to find PC wording here,.... uhhh,... legume harvesters?... that the left claims the racist Republicans hate are usually solidly Catholic and socially conservative. They have a work ethic and (most) seek the American dream. Yet the 'pubs aren't stepping up to deal with the immigration issue that they should be owning. They're so mired in petty party politics they can't see their Götterdämmerung. (Just so you don't have to run for a dictionary like I did to spell it, that's "Twilight of the Gods")

Jaeger meister to you too.

I'm not overly spiritual and I'm certainly not religious. I don't care about gay marriage and many of the causes the religious right takes on. What's worse cutting off the head of someone who doesn't share the same religious beliefs as you or taking a viable human and sucking it out of a woman with a shop vac and throwing it in a dumpster?

One is Islamic terrorism but in this country under federal law abortion is legal even a moment before giving birth. Anyone who thinks that's just fine shares the same indifference to human life as the terrorists do. For me that's a big deal although I do wish they would put it aside during the election which is pretty much what Trump has done.

Don't know how I got this emailed to me, but fuel for the fire. For those that don't know, Cuccinelli was former Atorney General of VA and ran this last race for governor. The wonderful GOP abandoned him because he wasn't establishment enough. His opponent, a carpet-bagger yank McCaulif had the full backing of the dems and Bloomberg and Clintons (and unlimited money). Cuccinelli did not lose by much (the libertarian made him lose) "Cuccinelli lost his gubernatorial election bid to Terry McAuliffe on November 5, 2013, by 56,435 votes, or 2.5% of total ballots cast.[2] The Libertarian Party candidate, Robert Sarvis, received 146,084 votes, or 6.5% of the vote total."

The GOP needs to flush out RINOs and NeoCons.

The current AG in VA is democrat and just announced that VA won't recognize 25 conceal carry permits from other states. Hopefully the VA assembly will squash this. The asshole governor made exec order a couple months ago stating no open-carry of firearms allowed in state buildings. In VA one that isn't a fellon can legally open carry with no permit. I particularly enjoy this stuff, because it finally gets the silent majority out to fucking act. Other than shitty ass northern VA, VA is a pretty conservative state. North Carolina has been infilitrated by yanks and is horribly liberal.

My Fellow Virginians,

I am one of countless Republicans exasperated with how the Washington Republican “leadership” has failed to even try to advance our basic principles, to say nothing how they continue to violate their own campaign promises. Like many others, I believe Washington is a politically incestuous den of crony government – and that’s bi-partisan. We have many challenges as a country, but we will never confront most of those challenges unless we elect a President who is willing to swim against the current of corruption of Washington.

While many Presidential candidates are trying to make the case that they won’t be captured by Washington, only Senator Ted Cruz has the consistent track record to prove it. Does that make him appear to not get along with the Washington leadership? Yes. Does the leadership dislike him? Yes. In the mainstream media, this conflict is portrayed as a bad thing. I think it’s a good thing. The folks that don’t like Senator Cruz in Washington don’t like him because he’s an unapologetic Constitutional Conservative that doesn’t back down. I can live with that… in fact, I can get pretty excited about that!

The intensity of the Republican grassroots’ anger at the GOP leadership is THE major reason that Donald Trump continues to perform well in polling. It was also part of the successful launch of Dr. Ben Carson. That anger isn’t just a reaction to President hateful muslim traitor’s destructive policies; it is a reaction to the Republican leadership’s unwillingness to lead like Republicans. While I respect Donald Trump and Ben Carson, only Ted Cruz has had a consistent record (after getting elected) of challenging the Republican leadership and President hateful muslim traitor’s disastrous policies. Lots of people talk about fighting Washington, Senator Cruz has done it.

On foreign policy, the GOP seems to have three groups: the “neocons” on one end, the “Paulites” on the other end, and then a group in the middle. Most of the GOP candidates are neocons. I used to be a neocon too… until I figured out that neocon polices don’t work and cost far too much in lives and treasure. I would also note that the neocons are the most willing to “conveniently” read the constitution in ways that dramatically tip the balance between liberty and security…away from liberty. This tendency is particularly true with regard to their willingness to trample the Fourth Amendment (requiring government to get a warrant based on probable cause to search or seize your property).

I have come to believe that we cannot have a knee-jerk reaction to enter every armed conflict, but should preserve our strength and political capital to be aggressive where it matters most to American interests. Examples poor foreign policy actions include working to remove Muammar Gaddafi in Libya (in 2011) and Bashar Assad in Syria (which has not yet occurred). Although they may be loathsome human beings, our efforts to remove national leaders we don’t like in the Middle East often brings much more catastrophic circumstances with regard to America’s security, as we have seen in Libya where ISIS and Al Qaeda have greatly grown in strength since 2011.

Over the last 15 years, America has spent trillions of dollars that we don’t have on foreign policy ventures, most of which have proven bad investments. We need a President frugal enough to actually count the monetary cost our foreign policy. Ted Cruz is in the middle group of Republicans on foreign policy issues. While it may be rousing to hear emotional, warlike rhetoric from some candidates, I believe such strategies are proven failures and I want my next President to break the cycle of foreign policy failures of the current and past Presidents.

One of the reasons the GOP establishment and big corporate interests dislike Ted Cruz is because he has fought amnesty in immigration. The threat of terrorism and the debilitating drain on our resources from unfettered immigration show clearly that we must have a President who will stand strong for American sovereignty on immigration and against the big corporate interests that control the congressional leadership of both parties.

Ted Cruz’s consistent resistance to the growth of Washington power has also extended to the budget. The Fed just raised interest rates ¼ of 1%. That equates to almost $50 billion more dollars of interest payments on our national debt every year. And the Fed has signaled that it expects a full 1% increase through 2016. That means that our nearly $20 trillion national debt will squeeze out almost $200 billion of money from our national budget in 2017 just to pay interest on the debt! Wow, that’s a big number!

hateful muslim traitor has already eviscerated our military. The increased debt payments will make it much, much harder to find the money we need to repair hateful muslim traitor’s damage to our military. Among the top Presidential candidates, only Ted Cruz has shown the commitment to cutting the federal budget in the aggressive way necessary to attack our federal debt. That debt is one of the greatest threats to our children’s future that the next President will face.

One way Ted Cruz has demonstrated his commitment to conservative principles is by the type of people he has hired in his Senate office. He believes ‘personnel is policy.’ Many of the people Senator Cruz hired for his Senate office came out of former Senator Jim DeMint’s staff. Compare his hiring history to others in the top tier of the nomination contest and it’s no contest. This is part of Cruz’s consistent, conservative track record. He will bring in to his administration dedicated, patriotic conservatives to help shrink the power of government in our lives and in our economy.

And while I could go on to other reasons why Ted Cruz should be our next President, I will end with this: Ted Cruz has shown – starting long before he ever ran for the U.S. Senate – that he is committed to the first principles of this country. He is a full spectrum conservative who knows and has fought to protect our Constitution. He doesn’t protect the parts of the Constitution he likes, and he doesn’t protect the Constitution only when it’s convenient. Ted Cruz fights for our whole Constitution - all the time. This commitment to our Constitution will be reflected in how he uses the executive power of the President and the judges he nominates.

Ted Cruz has been a consistent, full-spectrum conservative who has a strong track record of fighting for -and bleeding for - our first principles. Many candidates “talk conservative” during campaigns, but their actions don’t match their campaign rhetoric. No other candidate can match Senator Ted Cruz’s strong conservative track record.

America is at a tipping point. It is not enough for us to get a Republican President in 2016 – someone who will simply preside over the decline of America. We need a Republican President who will undo the damage done by President hateful muslim traitor and who will take on his own party leadership to finally reign in the power and reckless spending of Washington.

That candidate is Senator Ted Cruz.

For liberty,

Ken Cuccinelli, II

The comments section (written two years ago, but saying exactly the same thing....like they know the future) shows why VA lost the race for Governor to a carpet-bagger. RINOs are the reason. The establishment and Karl Rove are the reason for the loss. www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/rove-cuccinelli-lessons-gop/2013/11/06/id/535282/

Exactly right. We have a similar problem here in NY. The party has completely given up on the state. I think we had a good chance to get rid of Cuomo. He had pi$$ed off most of the unions here, especially the teachers and cops. Every gun owner in NY would have voted against him, and we had a halfway decent candidate, but the party wouldn't give him any support at all. I know that for a fact because I know his Long Island campaign manager.

Trump, the Tea Party, it's all sounding a blaring warning horn to the RINOs. Yet they keep going toward the light like moths.

I remember Cuomo sr. You couldn't find anyone who voted for him but he always got elected. FL's talking about open carry.
