Iowa
Related: About this forumCalgary Ted visits Iowa
Ugh.Conservative purist Ted Cruz addressed the concerns of any Iowa Republicans who reject him as too rigid, arguing he knows exactly how to unify the GOP and turn the country around.
The answer: “Restore historic economic growth.”
Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas who has visited the presidential testing grounds of Iowa three times in less than three months, told an audience of about 600 at the Republican Party of Iowa’s annual Ronald Reagan fundraising dinner: “We need to come together.”
“And let me tell you, growth and principles are ideas that unify Republicans,” he said. “They are principles and ideals that unify the evangelical community, the liberty movement and the business community. Growth and freedom are principles that bring together Main Street and the tea party.”

God. The whole thing makes me sick. Especially all the idiots kissing his ass here in Iowa.

(4,396 posts)2. has anyone looked up the process of renouncing Canadian citizenship
You just can not say you do not want to be a Canadian. It can take up to a year. Google it.
While you are at it check out the expense and hardship of renouncing american citizenship. Google it.
Democrats should be at every Cruz event with placards demanding he show his Canadianship renouncement papers.

Enjoyed it too. I know several Canadians from my travels who I still consider friends. They are amongst the nicest people I've ever known.
