Sen. Ted Cruz , appearing on Chad Hasty’s radio program...hammered Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush over their weakness when it comes to standing up to Iran.
“First of all let me say that this Iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic,” Cruz said (snip)
From there, Cruz specifically pointed out the flaws in Romney and Bush’s comments.
“It’s interesting in the past couple of weeks we’ve seen both Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush—both of them—talking about ‘now take it easy guys, you don’t really need to oppose this Iranian nuclear deal quite so forcefully,” Cruz said. (snip)
"When you send billions of dollars to jihadists trying to kill Americans, you bear responsibility for the murder that they carry out with the money you have given them. You know, one of the reasons Republicans keep getting clobbered is we have leaders like Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush who are afraid to say that....
"Mitt Romney’s Tweet today said, well gosh this rhetoric is not helpful. John Adams famously said facts are stubborn things. Describing the actual facts is not using rhetoric—it is called speaking the truth. Part of the reason why Mitt Romney got clobbered by Barack Obama is because we all remember that third debate where Barack Obama turned to Mitt and said “I said the Benghazi attack was terrorism and no one is more upset about Benghazi than I am” and Mitt, I guess listening to his own advice, said, “gosh I don’t want to use any rhetoric so I guess I’ll just rearrange the pencil on the podium here.”
We need to stand up and speak the truth (snip)

I guess Cruz shouldn't be so condescending...
Good for Sen. Cruz.
That said, Bishop RomneyCARE reportedly said
that the ghost of Cecil made him do it.
Go, Cruz, GO!!
Romney and Bush are joined-at-the-hip GOP-e idiots.
Cruz is ranked 7th in the latest poll, but if he spits in their face, he should do better.
Perfect!
“You know, one of the reasons Republicans keep getting clobbered is we have leaders like Mitt Romney...”
Oh...don’t mind us evil purists who made sure that pos never got to rule us. We will just keep taking fire from his fanatical supporters two years after “the Great Fail” knowing we were right to do it.
Right on, Cruz!!!!
Just wait the GOPe will now go after Cruz as not playing ball with them the esablishmen. Romney was useless and Bush number 3 will be worse than his father - New World Order, Read my Lips, Noi new axes and his brother the crominbus bill, AIG Bailout and GM and chrysler crapstic bailouts.
Love it.
Cruz is getting the idea. Except the word is not catastrophy... it is “disaster.” And, you have to say that our leaders and past candidates were dumb people. And, he has to say that he wants to make America great again. And, he has to say that if nominated he will beat Hillary badly because she is a criminal.
I have never seen anyone rip someone a new one with such gentlemanly class as does our Sen. Cruz. :)
He has it down to an art, doesn’t he? LOL
I voted for and defended Mitt here on FR. I guess that I was just too giving and forgiving. Maybe too much of an optimist.
Whatever the case, that’s it. I’m done with him and all his friends. I believed in 2012 that he would have been marginally better than Obama. I don’t believe that any more.
Also, I’d still vote for a ‘lesser evil’ as I define it, because a lesser evil is a greater good. As for these bastards, though, there is no greater or lesser evil; they’re the same damn thing.
When I say ‘lesser evil’ It’s the “Romney’ types and the Mitches and the rest I mean. As you now understand, they arent lesser anything.
It’s one thing to say “Yes this tax sucks but it’s not as bad as that one of we don’t” or something of that nature. We all have to accept one thing over another every day. But flat out Democrats with an R velcroed on loosely is never lesser. It’s the same evil in a different suit. And it always results in more evil in the end.
If Mitch/Jonbon in congress and Romney torpedoing every conservative since and including Palin does not make people understand that, they are denying reality.
Ted Cruz Ping! Cruz Slams Romney

Don’t feel too bad. Most all of us did and we even voted for McCain over Obama - which was pathetic. Let’s face it, there’s not a dimes worth of difference between the two parties. It’s such ashamed that the great ones continue to get assaulted by their own party.
Now that the establishments of the two parties are aligned with one another and govern against the people, it is mindful to read Charlie Reese’s last article once again:
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility.. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it’s because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy”,”inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess.

That is a eye opening article, thank you.
