Rafael Cruz: People Are Persecuting My Son Because He’s Telling The Truth, Just Like Jesus

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Friday, 1/29/2016 4:00 pm

In an interview with conservative radio host Dana Loesch on Tuesday, Rafael Cruz, father and campaign surrogate of Sen. Ted Cruz, declared that his son will save America after Obama “practically destroyed” it and that the harsh criticism that his son has faced on the campaign trail is just because people don’t want to hear the truth. When Loesch asked if it was “difficult to see people go at” his son in the campaign, the elder Cruz replied that Jesus had prepared his followers for just such persecution.

Conservative Group Tells Iowans Gov't Will Become 'Corrupted' If It’s Not Led By Christians

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Friday, 1/29/2016 2:39 pm

Sen. Ted Cruz scored a big coup in Iowa last month when he won the endorsement of Bob Vander Plaats, the head of the Iowa Religious Right group The Family Leader and an influential Republican power-broker in the state. Vander Plaats has since been crossing the state to campaign for and with Cruz, even engaging in a Twitter spat with Cruz’s main rival, Donald Trump.

Cruz has been attempting to recruit conservative evangelicals to his side by running explicitly on his personal faith and his Christian-nation views, a strategy exactly designed to appeal to a person like Vander Plaats, who earlier this week urged members of his group to convince their fellow churchgoers to caucus in Iowa because the government’s “God-given purposes easily become corrupted without Christians engaged and guiding it.”

here on earth? If yes, please count to 120 before answering so I have time to move away from my computer!

For your own sake, please accept the truth to your bosom: The Anointed One will become President so he can carry out God's will. It is ordained. You now have the Word.
