Sen. Ted Cruz urged archconservatives on Sunday to help nominate a Republican from their own ranks in 2016 or risk losing a third consecutive national election. The unspoken message: someone like him.

Cruz called GOP nominees like Mitt Romney in 2012, John McCain in 2008 and Bob Dole in 1996 "good, honorable and decent men" but not conservative enough. All lost their bids for the presidency.

"If we nominate a candidate in that mold, the same people who stayed home in 2008 and 2012 will stay home in 2016 and the Democrats will win again," Cruz told hundreds of activists at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention.

South Carolina will cast the South's first primary ballots in 2016, shortly after the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.

While Cruz was speaking he was subliminally telepathing "pick me, pick me, pick me" to the audience.

1. He actually believes that he is the fulfillment of some

alleged Bible prophecy. Very dangerous man.

4. Secularism is under assault in America. Why is Cruz's religious beliefs off limits if he wants

his religion to guide his policies?

Dominionists should be loud and proud of their beliefs, you would think.

Look at the Wahibi in Saudi Arabia, see the future according to Cruz.

18. somebody needs to ask him

to say a "hail Mary"prayer. Watch the reaction you'll get from him - that will expose him for what he is. He hates Catholics and defines religion as what he believes in.

16. Tell me what he really believes after lying stops paying so well. n/t

2. People on his side didn't stay home.

Republicans don't understand they are out of touch with the mainstream and us white folks are getting outnumbered. ( finally, thankfully)

3. Et tu, Brute?

5. He just wants to be the first US dictator, will somebody just give him a chance?

He isn't asking for much, just do what he says.

9. That's very polite of you, to add "tator" to the end of his descriptive. . .

7. I was wondering what was causing the stench that was in the air here today. n/t

8. Ever notice, when a Republican loses, or his term expires on a negative note (Bush I & II). . .

the postmortem always begins with that same old canard: "He wasn't conservative enough!"

And the truth is, they are all touted as paragons of conservatism, the very embodiment of "everything the country desperately needs (right up until they fail, and then it can only be because they didn't "keep the faith," and not that the ideology itself is at fault).

10. Yeah we need a Christian Dominionist Taliban in this country .. that'll straighten things out.

[Fred Sanders]

11. "Cruz Blisters Obama.." Is that what the media are calling the rantings of Christian extremists now?

Blistering? How about some 'blistering' expose of the man's extremist religious beliefs that drive his political policies, that could be revealing. Ask him about his views of secularism?

12. Cruz is a blister.

Actually, a boil on the ass of the republican party.
