	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

CRUZ or LOSE!

CRUZ or LOSE!

[combat_boots]

The balkanization and conquest of the country proceeds without anyone to call a stop to it.

In 10 years, we will be the 3rd world hell hole of all time.

[House Atreides]

Senators such as Mitch McConnell are nowhere near Ted Cruz in intelligence, guts, integrity and strategic thinking. They are mental midgets compared with Cruz. And Mitch McConnell is the midget of midgets.

[dragnet2]

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, strongly suggested the fix was in from the beginning by GOP leaders

Many have known that for well over a decade now.

??

[Theodore R.]

Of course, the fix was in; but the American people will never understand.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I dare call it Treason

[mowowie]

The entire country is being played as fools...

[Reno89519]

I want to know what Cruz will do on this? Seriously. Actions, not words. Nice to hear tidbits like this but we otherwise hear about Cruz being silent on the topic. He has not proposed or actively supported legislation to deport illegals, to deny jobs or id them the, to deny in-state tuition, etc. Instead, we hear him giving approval to increasing H1B to undermine American skilled workers. Not nice.

[hosepipe]

AH!... so Cruz.. HID THIS from his CPAC speech?.... WHY?
Very suspicious... What ELSE?.... is he hiding?..

Is he afraid of committing suicide like so many have?...
You know suicide; with TWO bullits to the back of the head..
And being Vince Fostered?...

With Obama the Alpha Dog in the CIA, NSA, FBI, IRS, all Military covert activities.. and GOD knows what else..
And total invisibility, after all WHO will expose it all?..

What if there was a shadow givernment and all politics was just Kibuki Theatre?..
AND...... voting was just a voter fraud ceremony..

Funny how few speakers at CPAC even MENTIONED VOTER FRAUD..
actually NONE HAS... Levin alluded to it.. but hit so many other items..

2015 Elections!... <<— voter fraud.. WILL RULE.. in most places..
NOT all places.. just most places..

AND at CPAC not a mention.. barely an allusion to it..
Must be cause most republicans could care less...
Some completely AFRAID.. to think about it..
Others..... looking thru their fingers (at the light) like an autistic child..

Cause if they did.. would have to admit.. the chance to change things was about TEN YEARS AGO.. maybe 30 or 40...

My point.. embrace Marxism or be miserable -OR- REVOLT..

[txhurl]

Cruz said he is optimistic in the long run but pessimistic in the short term about stemming the flow of illegal immigrants.

---

Texas alone has deported 20K this year.

Keep telling us the truth, Ted. When Turtle and the Chamber said they’d crush us, we believed them.

[VTenigma]

Thanks Ted, but any thinking person already knew this after watching the treasonous GOP leadership since 2010.

[Logical me]

Almost half of American people don’t have a damn idea what is happening to America and they don’t seem to care. Living in a make believe world.

[Hardens Hollow]

“Instead, he said, they chose a strategy that was clearly designed to fail.”

Wow! A politician that is willing to speak the truth! He’s got my vote.

[matthew fuller]

"Why won’t GOP leaders fight amnesty?"

Uh, maybe because the GOPe wants amnesty?

[Omaha Note]

I understand his pessimism. But aren’t there real steps we can take in the short term to fight this? For example, did Boehner ever send HR-240 to conference for reconciliation? And if not, are our Representatives applying pressure on Boehner to do so? What am I missing here?

[FR_addict]

“If the GOP leadership had really wanted to stop amnesty, Cruz explained, they would not have attached the provision defunding Obama’s amnesty to the DHS funding bill.

They would have attached it to a bill defunding the Environmental Protection Agency, “or some other non-essential agency.”

We could have defunded Global Warming Garbage at the same time.

[jacob allen]

This was so obvious from the get-go. So they could say “We can’t defund the DHS now.”

[Nea Wood]

Cruz said he is optimistic in the long run but pessimistic in the short term about stemming the flow of illegal immigrants.

This is ridiculous. The invaders are not falling from the sky! We know how they're coming in. Eisenhower had Operation Wetback, we put men on the moon, we're the United States of America! Or we used to be, dammit. We're supposed to throw up our hands and say, "Oh, dear, we can't stem the flow"? We damn well can, and in short order. Our so-called "leaders" just don't want to. Any time they say "we can't," what they're really saying is, "I don't want to."

[Will88]

Instead, he said, they chose a strategy that was clearly designed to fail.

More accurately, they chose a ruse designed to succeed, to succeed in appearing to do something while doing nothing to defund Obama's illegal alien amnesty. I'd love to be proven wrong this week.

[sickoflibs]

RE:”If the GOP leadership had really wanted to stop amnesty, Cruz explained, they would not have attached the provision defunding Obama’s amnesty to the DHS funding bill.
They would have attached it to a bill defunding the Environmental Protection Agency, “or some other non-essential agency.”
He described such agencies as “hostages the GOP could afford to hold.”

Good point!
