Ted Cruz: Time to defeat ‘Washington cartel’
The Washington Times ^ | June 24, 2015 | Seth Mclaughlin

Posted on 06/24/2015 11:18:45 AM PDT by MN_Mike

Why is it that Republican leadership always cuts deals with Democrats and with Washington and throws overboard the conservatives that come October and November in an election year they are desperately asking them to turn out and elect them to power?” Mr. Cruz said.

So, Mr. “I am for TPA, now I am against it after it does not matter” is rooting for the individual citizen? He’s going to turn down all the money coming from the Chamber of Commerce types?

Doubtful. He was too good a candidate - how hard they fall.

Cruz is 100 percent against Obamacare, Common Core and Amnesty, 100 percent for Religious Freedom and now he’s getting it right on this Uniparty “free trade” garbage.

Go Ted, its time to send Ted my next contribution.

So you're one of those Anal voters. Tell us who your perfect candidate is
without being a statist or isolationist. I'll keep my eyes open for your reply.
And please try to stay on topic.

You seem to be so strongly opinionated against Senator Cruz.
Certainly you will share with us your sage wisdom who is worthy of your laudable and inestimable support.
So who is your guy?

Ted Cruz: Time to defeat ‘Washington cartel’

This is a good attempt to support Trump's position's. It's just too little too late.

Cruz seems to have gotten the message.
Don’t trust anything Bonehead and his GF have to say.

Get over it.

Cruz stumbled over the TPA but I don’t see any other candidate that I like as well.

“This is a good attempt to support Trump’s position’s.”

Trump is, and always has been, a scammer/fraud. Cruz doesn’t need Trump’s assistance in articulating real Conservative principals.....The opposite is more likely.

Been fighting for years?

Is that not what all the politicians in D.C. say?

Decade after decade.

I get the sense that this board is infiltrated with democrats. When the attacks on Ted Cruz are not well reasoned positions supported by coherent logic but vile BS it becomes much clearer. If they are true conservatives they would give meaningful responses and illustrate their contention in a meaningful way, not simply spew. You notice that they invariably don’t have a dog in the hunt.
Get back to your confederate flag burning and get off this board you pathetic commie bitch. You are not welcome here.

That is rather bass ackwards as they say. In Trump’s announcement speech, he said he would dot these things:

Repeal Obamacare

Repeal Common Core

Strengthen the military and support vets

Build a wall and secure the border

Bring back the American Dream of jobs and businesses

If you add Abolish the IRS and Protect Religious Liberty, he sounds just like Cruz. Sorry, but Cruz said it first and I trust Cruz.

Is that special.

Ted Cruz pushed through ObamaTRADE under SECRECY
and now purports to NOT be the very Washington cartel
the AMERICAN people HATE. He is.

Cruz was elected to fight Obama and sold out the
US Constitution and his reputation for Obama ...
and perhaps a future bonus of thirty million pieces
of silver. Given the conflict of interest and
appearance of impropriety with Goldmann Sachs
his proObama, antiTEAparty, vote for Obama and SECRECY
frankly STINKS.

if you can’t tell the difference, you’re either willfully ignorant or maybe not very bright...or maybe both.

Where was Trump on Cruz’ filibuster? I’ll guaran - damn - tee you he criticized it.

Cruz is also 500 percent for H1Bs. Go Cruz!

How about abolish all executive branch “agencies” and institute a lifetime ban on any former agency employee from any future, reconstituted agencies?

You apparently haven’t learned about how Cruz is a traitorist, trilateral, CFR, NWO, satanist, Goldman Sachs, Bilderberg, shape shifting reptilian. There are a number of FReepers who will be glad to explain it to you if you ask.

The fact that Cruz went against TEA Party on ObamaTRADE,
on a bill/treaty he never actually read, that
was SECRET, that weakened the US Constitution,
and that empowered Obama, is the first issue
of relevance.

That he did it AFTER posing as a ‘conservative’
is the second issue.
