John Howard, Cruz made his announcement at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University. Are these the young people you speak of? If not, please explain.

And some of the ‘younger people’ in that mandatory audience were clearly sporting red Rand Paul shirts. I guess when mandatory attendance is dictated, they had to find some way to rebel/push back (even if it’s simply a wardrobe choice). LOL!

You said it, Steve St. John!

Hey, John Howard- the ‘younger people’ in that audience were forced to attend. That’s right it was mandatory. Imagine trying to pull that crap in a real college?

d d – re: deception – that’s one of the primary campaigning tools of the Republican Party!

I think I remember Seannie campaigning for Rudy Gui911iani. Did him a lot of good, too.

I love what I see from the younger people, let’s deal with facts and be fair and balance.

He blew it. He should have waited until next Wednesday to make his announcement… April Fools Day.

Since it seems likely that Palin won’t be running at least our comedians have been gifted and blessed with her male counterpart.

Let the comedy begin!

Will KKKlannity ask to Rafael Cruz to see his long sheet birth certif. just like he did President Obama,just to be fair and balance.

KKKlannity’s lips will be chapped after he completes his patented BJ infomercials with all of the GOPiggy wannabes like Teabagger Ted, Frothy Mixture Santorum, Gomer the Huckster and Jeb “I’m not my idiot brother” Bush.

A full hour of Dumber and Dumbest?!?

Watch out McCarthy Cruz — there are COMMUNISTS hiding under your bed!

;^)

Will he be questioning his eligibility to be President. After all he is Canadian born

Good luck Ted. I guess the birthers won’t have an issue with you since you’re so lily white.

Yeah, Hannity hearts Cruz. While pompoms may not make it to the set, it will no doubt be a slobbering, supportive love fest with Hannity setting up just enough of the, ahem, “tough” questions for Cruz to easily swat away.

Btw, just in case FOX “news” didn’t tell its viewers about one of the reasons why Cruz chose Liberty U for his announcement…a guaranteed large audience as student attendance is mandatory. NYT and the LAT both are reporting the “manadatory attendance” as well.

“I strongly object to Senator Cruz’s choice of venue for the announcement of his 2016 presidential bid: as is well-known by Liberty University students but considerably less well-known by the general public, all students are required to attend convocation every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sen. Cruz is a friend of the Liberty University administration and has spoken at convocation in the past. As such, he knows that all students are required to be in attendance. I bear no ill will toward Sen. Cruz, but his choice to announce his 2016 presidential bid at convocation at Liberty University is a starkly deceptive one. Should the general public be unaware that all students are required to attend convocation, it would seem to the average viewer (as this will be televised and is already being widely publicized) that 10,000 supporters came to Liberty University to hear Sen. Cruz’s announcement. However, every student in attendance has no say in the matter. Students will either attend convocation and lend to the illusion of widespread support for Sen. Cruz, or they will be subject to administrative punishment—specifically, four reprimands and a $10 fine—if they are absent. While Sen. Cruz has every right to run for president and to announce his candidacy, it is a highly deceptive, albeit politically savvy, move on Sen. Cruz’s part to make his big announcement here. I do not support this action, and I am not alone in my belief that such deception is wrong.”

Will Hannity be sporting pompoms or just slobbering?
