SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, returned home to a rousing welcome in Texas on Saturday after his attempt to derail Obamacare with a shutdown of the federal government led to sharp criticism of his tactics as reckless and futile.
"After two months in Washington, it's great to be back in America," Cruz joked in speaking to a crowd of about 750 people in a packed downtown San Antonio hotel ballroom.
Cruz was greeted with an eight-minute standing ovation in an appearance organized by the Texas Federation of Republican Women. People in attendance, many of them wearing red to show their support for keeping Texas a conservative-leaning state, lined up to greet him.

It’s a good thing that “elections have consequences”, BOTH ways! The good people of Texas sent Cruz to the Senate, ‘nuf said.
They’re the only ones with any adherence to the Constitution.
lol....

“After two months in Washington, it’s great to be back in America,” Cruz joked
Funny thing, I was watching Fox News Sunday today, and all the pundits who were saying how stupid Cruz’ strategy was, now say that “surprisingly” it turned out to have benefits, because the Pubs are now “shaping the debate”.
How unexpected.
Thanks Cincinatus’ Wife.
“........8 minute standing ovation”
Texas gets it.
The MSM wants to pretend that one guy shut down the government but it wasn’t Harry Reid, what a joke
Apparently Jebbie and George P. are fighting over Cruz. George P., a candidate for land commissioner, is wanting to say nice things about Cruz, but his dad is furious, considers Cruz a menace to the kind of GOP Jebbie wants. And imagine some on our forum once though Jebbie was a “real conservative”.
Jeb makes me want to barf.
I’m guessing the Castro brothers and their La Raza supporting mom weren’t in the San Antonio ballroom with Ted Cruz.
But, but, but Ted Cruz has been accused of being against women by the SRM.
Heck, they were too busy fainting and others had to let medical personnel to the scene.
Just remember back when Cruz was running for this office...
If Dewhurst had won, would we be having this conversation???
I hope everyone remembers that Cornyn weasel’d his way into the “nay” vote crowd, and some may look upon that as a saving grace fo rhis “effort”...
I’m calling bullsh!t on that...Cornyn played it safe, can say whatever he wants to in the next election cycle...He is dead to me as a principled republican elected official...
Time to show his ass the door...
I really hope we get to call Ted Cruz the “senior’ Senator from Texas next year...I’ll do my part...
YES, ME TOO.
Now that's what I call some serious love. I don't recall another politician ever receiving a standing ovation that long.
Ted, the country's behind you every step of the way. Bravo!
That guy will get a visit from the EPA soon, saying all those cups are a health hazard to wildlife and the local community, along with an audit by the IRS.
