Just names that come to mind this morning.
U.S. Coast Guard veteran, 1964-1968

Will Rogers never met Barack Obama. He would not like Obama.

Conservative values will never again win. The ruling elite will see to it.

Not just the ruling elite.  I have serious doubts about whether we have a population capable of it.  The Free Sh1t Army has metastasized for generations.  At this point whoever promises to keep the freebies coming wins by default.

The only thing that is going to defeat the current order is Reality, and it is unavoidable that it's going to happen. The question is not if it's going to collapse, but what sort of time scale and how survivable the undertow will be.

I would vote for Palin, Cruz, or Paul, for all the good it will do.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

This is a poll, folks. Please vote and explain if necessary, or if you feel like it.

At this point I'm looking at Cruz, he seems to be the tea party darling, plus is gaining some favor with others.

Not that it matters...hitting the trifecta in the thread title is tough to foresee in latter day America...I chose other, only because I think a total outsider, a stealth candidate of impeccable character who would possess the principles we share and shuns political parties and runs as an independent may be the only viable chance to enjoy success.

There was an  event when Palin was runnin g for veep she was a fantastic speaker...and I really like Rand Paul and I could vote for him too, but my heart is currently with Cruz.  I think he has a lot of hope. With him as President or V.P. and Governor Walker or Rand Paul in the other spot, we might have a shot.  As long as there are still a few good men out there, we have hope.  We just have to find a way to get to the majority.

My vote had to go to Senator Cruz. So far, he is the only person who has stood by his convictions, no matter what the cost. He put his political career on the line, (with the filibuster), and his vocal opposition to the nonsense that goes on in DC. The only way he will win, is if we the people MAKE him win. We have 2 more years to take America back, or should I say, 2 more elections. If the democrat party somehow steals this November's elections, or the 2016 one, I see no way out... peacefully!
I know that, here, I'm preaching to the choir, but we patriots have got to reach our friends and neighbors, the lady at Dunkin Donuts, the guy at the gas station... everyone you can, talk to them, ask them questions about their government, if they're happy, or better yet... do they believe they're as free now as they were before Obama.
I believe Cruz WILL keep his promise!

The Democrat-Media Complex will completely and utterly destroy anyone...they came out from behind their curtain in 2008...if they can pounce on their sometime media darling McCain and a moderate like Mitt RomneyCare a real conservative can expect Palin type treatment times a factor of ten.  I think Cruz and perhaps Paul can stand up to that, but even if they can do an end run around the media, the rest of the apparatus will be in full fraud, lie, cheat and steal mode...they won't even have to try to hide it, in fact I think they are beyond pretense anymore and in the full-blown intimidation phase of thise undeclared war...they have been behaving like criminals from the rank-and-file and now all the way to the POTUS himself...and nobody is stopping them.  Assuming any election will be fair or honest is insane.  Thinking they will be held accountable (a few, after the fact and the deed is done) is useless.  People have to start moving beyond foolish thinking, the America they once knew is dead or near enough so...now is the time for a rebirth of the Sons of Liberty, let the sons of bitches play their games...and may the stronger prevail.

I would bet most in Low Information America have never heard Cruz, just what others have said about him.  Cruz alone, has the debate talent to stand up to anybody. 

Being right isn't any special talent.  Anyone on that list, or in this thread is right.  Being right, standing on stage, and being able to explain such to a low information audience, over the cacophony of bulls**t, is a very rare talent that Cruz alone has.  The very talent that made Reagan win.

I am still sticking with None of the Above. I will lend no credence what-so-ever to the GOP.  They exist only as a pressure release- to give the populace something to do to make them feel like they resisted the agenda, only to find that nothing is done to reverse it. LET THE DEMS WIN.  Let them be at the helm when this thing collapses.  They are the ones most likely to engage in heavy handed force and to start the civil war - which is THE ONLY WAY we are ever getting our Freedom back.

Even if a conservative were to win the White House, the ruling elite would NEVER let him accomplish anything. So I'm like you. Let them burn.

Yes, but I'll tell you what I would absolutely LOVE to see...a candidate whom once they get the nomination, starting right at the convention speech and throughout the election...use that pulpit to absolutely destroy the Left and their supporters.  I want bold statements highlighting the real agenda of the Left, referring to Leftist leaders as radical progressive national socialists, referring to their supporters with scathing rhetoric like "I wouldn't expect an Obama-voter to understand..." and "...the slaves the democrat progressives bring onto their handout plantation are a disease..." just rip their asses from one end to the other 24/7!  They are gonna be demonized, marginalized and cheated anyway...might as well get every penny worth of flesh and make it clear beyond a doubt who and what is destroying this nation.  And when it all goes sideways perhaps more than otherwise expected will see who is to blame and act accordingly.  I really would like to see a candidate do this just fricken once before I die!!!

I have withdrawn my consent to be governed by anyone who has been in politics. They are all suspect and will negotiate away my rights if it suits them.
Ill support the first person who can lead a proper revolution or insurgency, so long as they are liberty-oriented.

I have been telling my soon to be ex-wife that her lawyer and therapist are not interested in her, just that they can make more money off of her and with that mind set they are forcing additional litigation or therapy.  Just like these RINO's all they want from you or me is additional time to continue raping all of us for their own personal gain!!

As in some of the earlier posts - the one thing Cruz has going for him is a good and building packing from the Tea Party.  I'm hoping they don't cave to the media lies.  At least when they were starting there was pretty good representation nation wide and if it truely has been increasing I think he would have a chance with the dems and the rino's.  IMO Ross Perot in the 90's had a one track mind thinking his money could bye himself into office setting himself up as savior for his own glorifiaction.  America didn't by it and as noted the only thing his campaign did was to allowed the Clinton's to continue destroying the country.  Hopefully America has learned and the Tea Party isnt another fluke, they now have taken 5 years to get their act together.   ::praying::

Shytt ---- Went to bed and couldn't sleep.  Got to much today, so what do I do - surprise surprise, I lay there thinking, about politics and 'who'.  As I have stated I thought Ted Cruz had a chance - but stupid me --- I forgot   ::oldman:: he can't run for President -- born in Alberta, Canada disqualifies him and I doubt America and/or the Tea Party would allow it, [a little item like the Constitution stops it] especially after the thing we have now.
