Sen. Ted Cruz said Tuesday that it is possible to write a ban on travel from Ebola-stricken West African countries while still letting medical personnel and aid get through.
Despite intense pressure from members of Congress to impose a ban to stop the disease from entering the U.S., Obama administration health officials have said a travel ban would actually hurt because it would hinder efforts to stop Ebola in West Africa.

I don’t care about Africa. STOP THE MADNESS!
This is real leadership instead of the slacker POTUS we have who is “phoning it in” from the 19th hole. Compare and contrast.

[ I don’t care about Africa. STOP THE MADNESS! ]
Cruz is simply deconsrtucting the lie from Obama about how the travel ban would stop ANY aid to the African Countries...
The day he announces is the day I start dialing for dollars.
Only one person is standing up and saying this. ONE.
Where are our brave Republican representatives? Can’t Boehner put down the bottle long enough to address an issue of life and death?
Damn them.
I was driving in the rain half listening Tues night, but Mark Levin hinted the political long-knives will be out for Ted should he run and he said something I hope I heard right, as he noted he ought to consider running regardless of the GOP which to me means going independent / conservative. Mark tonight hinted of bolting, and taking all of us with him, he is that pissed with the E-GOP establishment.
They divorced us a long time ago, maybe the day is coming when we finally move out...
IMHO I think Ted has got the moxie and Conservatives are fed up enough that if he left the GOP and ran against a RINO ( Christie , Romney again ) the GOP might just might get their comeuppance as all off us set up a 50 state apparatus and volunteer are butts off for Ted.
