The GOP enemies of Senator Ted Cruz are not just his enemies, but those RINOs, just as the Demonrats, are the traitorous enemies of the United States of America.

“...no proof that Ted Cruz is a real conservative...”

??? Then what is “proof”, what is Ted Cruz, and what is a “real conservative”? And other than our great Obama, what knid of narcisist even thinks they have the authority to answer those questions in the first place?

I’m with Ted Cruz. If he’s not a real conservative, then I don’t want to be one either. Don’t care about labels, I care about a right-thinking guy who doesn’t back down.

I (strongly) support Ted Cruz, but I resent that he has settled upon the one issue I do not support on which to cut his teeth.

Ted, you are doing great, but lay off of healthcare until you have a competing proposal.

Bring back American jobs.

Now.

We have offshored American jobs now for an entire generation.

Bring back American jobs. Now.

Start by adjusting our tax code. America first.

Competing proposal? Why do we need a Republican version of Obamacare? How about just getting the government out of it? How much of healthcare do you think government should control?

There are lots of things which we can involve American companies in, without the government.

Problem is, we keep EXPORTING THOSE COMPANIES.

Bring back American jobs. American companies.

We do not need to keep building up Healthcare into an ever more expensive monstrosity.

Bring back other jobs.

Ted, you are doing great, but lay off of healthcare until you have a competing proposal.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Stopping Obamacare NOW is the most urgent priority, because once it is in enacted we will never be able to get rid of it, except perhaps when the left manages to replace it with single-payer.

And the lack of a competing proposal is still a better state of affairs than implementing Obama cares.

Imagine having the following scenario:

Doctor: "We don't know what's wrong with you or how to fix it, so we're going to cut your arm off because that way there will be less of you to be ill."

Patient: "But doctor, I really think cutting my arm off is a bad idea, for a lot of reasons. It will just make things worse, and I will be crippled for life with very little likelihood that your plan will make things better."

"Doctor: "Well, if you have a competing proposal, I'd like to hear it. Otherwise, shut up while I go get my saw."

That is essentially the position you are taking.

We need a competing proposal.

Now.

A competing proposal. Where is a competing proposal?

GOP what are you doing? Don’t be against something, without another option.

Our healthcare system right now SUCKS. Bigtime.

Where is our proposal?

Mrs. Cruz is exceptionally well educated in economics...primarily Free Trade...it would be a good thing having brains on economics near the presidency don’t you think? Spread The Wealth’ers only enrich themselves....until the money runs out...then it’s chaos for awhile...true leaders take over eventually and history starts repeating its self.....

Thought it was interesting she advised Condi, Bush and Cheney. Also that she is in Houston, my former residence for 30 plus years. Had not heard much about the next President of the United States wife;^)..

Our proposal? Tort reform, it will drop healthcare costs by 50% or more. Other than that the government should stay out of healthcare.

I just sent a donation to Cruz, to thank him for the fillibuster attempt. Just like I sent one to Joe Wilson when he screamed “You lie!!” at The Won during the State of the Union Show. I live in Southern Illinois, with the likes of Rep Enyart, Sen Durbin and Rino Sen Kirk, I have no one in my home state to effect national policy and have to send it out of state. Still sending donations to Sarah and Ret. Col. West.

You say that every time. Healthcare by the federal government is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. You never address that. You should go pound sand.
