Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who received widespread praise for his Tuesday debate performance in which he slammed the media for its biased coverage of immigration, continued his verbal broadside against pro-amnesty special interests on today's program of the Laura Ingraham Show.
In perhaps his most detailed comments to date criticizing donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ted Cruz gave a crushing assessment of Rubio's involvement in co-authoring the La Raza-backed Gang of Eight bill. Cruz outlined Rubio's coordinated effort with Chuck Schumer to sabotage conservative efforts to add popular amendments to the Obama-championed measure:

Cruz told Ingraham that while the American people expressed their vociferous opposition to Rubio's immigration bill, Rubio ignored their concerns and fought "tooth and nail" to push amnesty and immigration expansions upon the unwilling electorate. Cruz explained that even though "The American people quite reasonably said, 'No" to the Gang of Eight's plan, Rubio and his fellow Gang of Eight colleagues continued to push the amnesty bill through Congress:

The gloves are off.
Indeed sir.
‘Bout time someone noticed this.
Be nice if Arizona was put out enough about this to get rid of McQueeg, too.
Uh oh. Rubio is taking the advice from the same guy Bush has been listening to - Karl Rove.
Trump/Cruz
Trump is not going to lose his lead so long as he is the only candidate who is credibly against this.
What I find intriguing is the coordinated effort by conservative media to not allow Rubio to redefine himself.
It started with Laura Ingraham yesterday, then Brietbart, and then Daniel Horowitz.
This article by Breitbart is scathing. The headline makes it seem that this is a Cruz article, but people should read the whole thing. Eighty percent is Breitbart’s bitter indictment of Rubio.
GET `EM TED! POUND HIM! HAMMER HIM!
And if POTUS he would again. However there is zero chance he will be POTUS. The horror is he could be the nominee.
“, Rubio ignored their concerns and fought “tooth and nail” to push amnesty and immigration expansions upon the unwilling electorate.”
Given the opportunity he will do so again.
I remember Cruz’s amendment back during the Gang of Eight episode, and his comments.
It was clear to me then what he was doing - attempting to unmask amnesty supporter hypocrisy by using their words but attacking their ulterior motives.
Its dishonest in the extreme that Rubio is attempting to take Cruz’s comments back then out of context to try to paint him as pro amnesty today.
UPPER CASE BUMP!!
I'm glad that Ted's criticisms are policy-based.
Rubio = Establishment Rat Boy
