Cruz to Obama: Don’t Peddle Obamacare in Texas
National Review Online ^ | November 6, 2013 3:44 PM | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 11/07/2013 7:38:44 AM PST by SoConPubbie

Texas doesn’t want to hear anymore of President Obama’s “false promises” about the Affordable Care Act, according to Senator Ted Cruz. He’s urged the president to drop his plans to visit Dallas on Wednesday to deliver a speech on Obamacare.

“President Obama should take his broken promises tour elsewhere so Texans can continue focusing on the solutions that have allowed our state to become and remain the nation’s economic and job creation powerhouse,” Cruz said in a statement. He went on to list a series of unfulfilled promises the president has made, all related to health care.

Emphasizing that the law has “no place in Texas,” Cruz called for a full repeal of the ACA, saying only that would ”empower Americans and their families” to find more effective health-care options.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The last time a President went to Dallas in November it didn’t end well.

This country needs more whacko birds like Ted Cruz to stand up and tell the truth to the American people.

Washington’s right to impose its will on the peasantry was positively settled in 1865.

There won’t be another serious challenge as long as there’s plenty of sports! sports! sports! to keep common minds operating at a grade-school level.

This boy has balls.

He is right too. People are tired of listening to the Kenyans lies.

Obama has gone back to traveling all over the country on our dime again. I saw this months schedule this morning, he is going all over spreading his manure.

Austin is the bastion of libtard idiocy (along with a couple of areas in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio) in an otherwise conservative state.

Yep....just like the 1967 and 1972 Israeli/Arab war settled it all. Remember, "War is politics by other means"

I was thinking the same thing, but had a post similar to it pulled by the mods several months ago.

Cruz is calling for "full repeal" of ObamaCare.

This is the whole point and the only point. The media and its pundit guests and panels have reduced themselves to the promotion of "fixing" ObamaCare instead of REPEALING it.

Or.......almost all the talking heads are fixated on the ObamaCare computer system breakdown and repeating Obama's Great Lie ad infinitum. The world KNOWS he lied! We KNOW the computer system is broken! GET BACK ON POINT!....REPEAL!

In other words, "repeal" is not on the agenda of most blabbers on talk TV at this time....and this is purposeful.

One of the worst offenders is Greta Garbage. She can't get off raving about the computer glitch. She can't get off showing the tape bites of Obama's Great Lie. ENOUGH ALREADY!

But worst of all was last night when she chittered and chattered feverishly with a guest on what she'd like to see "FIXED" in ObamaCare. In other words, just FIX a few elements of government health care, give it another name, and then just drink your distasteful nationalized medicine like a good little kid.

Not a single word about REPEALING the whole damn thing.

Wow, when Greta Garble (the greatest interviewer in the entire world) gets on a tear, she egests endless editorializing questions leaving not much air time for her hapless guests to respond.

Remember, Greta is NOT a conservative. She has O'Reilly-itis.....finding a truffle once in a while like a blind pig......but unthinkingly exposing her inate liberal statism to those alert and educated enough to winnow it out of her incessant chirping....and grotesquely elongated questions.

Greta needs to be Cruz-ified.

We FReepers need to figure out a way to go hang with Cruz for a while. It’d do us a world of good.

It takes will to refight a war.

Americans lack the will to worry about more than whatever violent sports are in season. (And angry, anonymous postings don’t count as anything.)

Sheep don’t fight back; they obey the sheepdog as long as it doesn’t nip their back ends and leaves them to graze unmolested for most of the day.
