Sen. Ted Cruz on "The People vs. The Washington Cartel: Restoring Liberty in the Age of Cronyism"
Heritage Foundation ^ | June 24, 2015 | Ted Cruz

Posted on 06/24/2015 2:58:35 PM PDT by MN_Mike

Despite gaining massive majorities on a conservative anti-Washington wave in 2014, the new Congress has quickly returned to Washington's business-as-usual. The Washington Cartel of powerful politicians, well-connected lobbyists, and media elite continue to benefit from big government at the expense of Main Street and ordinary Americans. Now is the time to break the Cartel.

The Washington Cartel. That’s got a nice ring to it.

Considering some of Ted’s recent positions, this article seem disingenuous, at best.

Just an observation.

It appears talking points are not needed as often the truth is self evident.

Everyone on FR knows Cruz' voting history and his advocacy.

So does your criticism.

Don’t you have a birther thread somewhere else to start?

Look we get the point, you don’t think Cruz is an NBC but because you don’t want to be looked at as some lunatic, you and some of the other birthers are trying to nitpick at Cruz for everything he does and then when that doesn’t work, question his sincerity.

Mark Levin was probably the most opposed to TPA early on in the conservative media. Surely, at some point during that time, Levin would have called out Cruz by name for his first TPA vote, label him a traitor, etc. Wait, what, that didn’t happen? I could have sworn Cruz was a guest with Levin last night explaining the whole ordeal. Surely Levin called him out as a globalist in bed with crony capitalists. Oh, that didn’t happen either? Funny that despite everything Levin still has great respect and support for Ted Cruz. I guess Levin’s opposition to TPA must be disingenuous also.

Meanwhile, your “boys” Trump and Paul are out there running their mouths about what freedom of expressions we the people can/can’t have and what is acceptable in public and what isn’t. Man, that sounds like pure libertarian stuff to me /sarc.

What, you’re “boys” aren’t Trump and Paul? Oh, so your just going to b*tch about every candidate that isn’t 100% in alignment with you on every single position no matter whether your argument is flawed or not.

The civic duty of voting requires wisdom and responsibility. If you think Cruz is a globalist shrill and a charlatan trying to trick you into your vote, maybe it’s time for you to just stop voting and paying attention to politics, and let the rationale grown-ups take care of things, because it’s people like you that are going to do great damage to the cause of getting a real solid, articulate, constitutional conservative into the WH.

"So just who is your candidate of choice that I may ask ?"

I lean toward Trump, but am pretty sure he'll blow it up before he gets to the finish line.

I just hope he can burn down every GOP institution before he exits, and hope he'll be effective in exposing their abject corruption before he he shuts down.

If there's a plausible Constitutionalist standing after that, I'll vote for them.

Would hope to persuade you after ALL the dust has settled to reconsider Ted Cruz.

I mean ? Let’s face it, where next ? Who next that is viable ?

Sarah Palin looks like she isn’t running.

Sen. Jeff Sessions isn’t running.

And no offense to Ted Cruz I would support Jeff Sessions for President.

Cruz / Sessions 2016 ?

Anyway, Rand Paul has jumped on the ban the Confederate Flag band wagon.

Rubio ? Nope.

The choices are getting mighty slim as you get closer to the bottom of the barrle.

TRUMP?!

HA! If I thought you were worth listening to before, you sure as buck aren’t worth listening to now. Bitching about Cruz not being the perfect conservative while “leaning towards” the biggest ringer in the race?

Seems you rolled a natural 1 on your Bluff check, my friend.
