I just posted a piece on Ted Cruz. I invite readers of neoneocon to visit Pesky Truth and check out the post, “Who is Ted Cruz … Really?”
Here’s a link: http://peskytruth.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/who-is-ted-cruz-really/
BTW, I’m a Texas, voted for Ted, and sincerely hope to vote for him in 2016.

Having said the above, I note that Susana Martinez gave a terrific speech at the Republican convention. Nowadays she is prudently staying under the national radar, but if she gets reelected by a landslide in 2014—especially if the rest of her party continues to blow races they should win—, she won’t be under the radar anymore.

1. I posted the following at LI back on January 7th:

What a brilliant individual. He emanates it. Listen to how quickly, how seamlessly, he reconfigures the questions.

My guideline is that, before seeking higher office, a politician should be reelected to their current slot by a greater margin than they were elected by.

Cruz heads my list of potential exceptions.

Cruz is the only person who comes to mind who could turn American conservatism back into a governing coalition. My concern is whether conservative politics and the country have gone past a point of no return. Case in point:

2. Ann said ‘objectified’?! The horror! The horror!

And here I was thinking that the language police were all on the PC Left…

Feinstein and others like her, make a lot of money via special deals from their Senate committee influence and intel.

America didn’t care about it before. I doubt Americans will care about it when Feinstein uses that money to kidnap, execute, and torture their children to death either. They’ll just blame it on blacks, whites, Palin, or Cruz.

“According to the Demos, the following are stupid: Ike, Reagan, Dubya, Sarah Palin”

No, like Reagan Palin is stupid *and* evil (to them, not me!!).

“As for Senator Feinstein, she “looks good” against her loathsome CA senate colleague – Barbara Boxer – not to mention Senators Reid and Durbin, among others.”

That’s the most that can be said for her at this point. I don’t think Ann is entirely wrong about her, but sadly like the rest of the Democratic party Feinstein has mostly assimilated to the “Hive”. If you resist you will get drummed out of the party (e. g. Joe Lieberman).

As I mentioned in the 2008 elections, it doesn’t matter to me who acquires leadership and power over the United States of America. Whether it’s Palin or someone else, doesn’t matter to me.

All that matters to me is that the person with the power has the ruthlessness and will to destroy the Left.

That is all. Policies, politics, platforms? None of that matters. Because none of that will matter in the 2nd US Civil War.

Even if Cruz doesn’t get destroyed absolutely, it just means that to acquire power in the US, you need to graduate from a Leftist controlled institute. Which already favors Leftist concepts and is not a particularly optimistic assessment for a country’s future rulers.

No need to hide Cruz’s undergraduate and Harvard Law grades.

My only cautionary concern about Cruz is that people like Hugh Hewitt referred to Mitt Romney as “incandescently bright”. Well that bulb burned pretty dimly in the 2012 election. So Cruz will have to demonstrate some real political skills or ruthlessness to make him the top candidate.

An idea that has come to me:
The left uses the race card to shut down the right and everyone else so why don’t GOPers/conservatives pick one black on white crime each week, that’s only 52 per year, highlight it, promote it on talk radio.

A regular drumbeat of public acknowledgement of the massive black on white crime wave in the country would be I think an effective push back to the lefts phony chants of racist, racist, racist.
