[quote]Asked by a questioner at The Heritage Foundation whether he falls more in line with Paul’s worldview or that of Sen. John McCain’s, Cruz planted his flag firmly in the middle.

“I consider myself somewhere in between those two poles,” the freshman Republican said. “There is a balance that I would characterize as somewhere in the middle.”

Cruz referred to Paul as a friend and lauded him as “fearless” while heralding McCain as a hero who he respects “immensely,” but he attempted to forge a third approach to foreign policy that he believed reflected American public opinion.

“I agree with Rand Paul that we should not intervene militarily in Syria. But I also agree with John McCain that if Iran is on verge of acquiring nuclear weapons, that we should intervene militarily … because it’s in the vital national security interests of the United States.”[/QUOTE]

I'm somewhere between Karl Marx and Ayn Rand on economics.

Bachmann then extrapolated that story to 2016, saying that it's "up to us" to communicate with Him.

“If we repent, if we cry out to God, we have no idea what the Lord God will do for us in 2016," Bachmann said.[/QUOTE]

Why Iran? North Korea isn't getting threatened with intervention.
