Ted Cruz is finished

At first I got worried, then I saw it was from Salon, so I'm relieved, knowing the opposite is true.

Ted Cruz has more dignity, integrity and honesty in his little finger than you would if you lived to be a thousand years. The very idea that he would compromise his principles for some campaign contribution is so totally against the grain as to be laughable and ludicrous. Only an out and out rogue and demagogue would make such a suggestion. You may need to crawl back to the hole you came from.

“Its sometimes easy to forget Ted Cruz is running for president”

It would be impossible for anyone to forget Ted Cruz is running not least because Salon keeps keeps pumping out several juvenile, idiotic anti-Cruz articles per day, every day. The homoerotic obsession with Ted Cruz from the panty wearing, perfumed girly men at Salon is getting old fast.

The easiest way to know you are over the target is when the flak is heaviest. Cruz has em jumpy.

Because they gottsta keep getting their agenda to stick by repeating it over and over again no matter how many times it has been explained to them, even though they conveniently left out some truth about what Ted Cruz actually did with this bill.

Isara, it seems some have a agenda here to stop Ted Cruz and spread false propaganda, and then there are those who’s hearing is defective.

For all you Ted Cruz haters, and those spreading false propaganda here on Free Republic about Ted Cruz.

For TTP he said ( yes, himself , Ted Cruz said ) “ that he thought it was stupid to have it classified text. “

Now what part of he said, that would be Ted Cruz, that he thought it was stupid that it was classified text, that you don’t get ?

The parrots agenda of propaganda.

Now shut the heck up !

It’s been explained to you over and over and over again, time and time again.

NOW SHUT THE HECK UP YOU !

you are asking a hypothetical. no one knows who will be on the ballots yet. and no one has to disclose their vote to anyone. forcing others to disclose their vote is intimidation. forcing others to disclose their vote in advance is inviting irrational decision making.

you can label yourself all you want. i never labeled you. if you take offense that i did, it does not reflect well on your ability to think logically and handle your emotions. can you handle your emotions? are you a danger to other people, if not? apparently you are. you try to threaten or hurt me. my advice to you is back off. this is my last response to you. have a nice day.

I did not threaten you and if you truly believe I did, you should report me to the moderators and ask that they disappear me.

I see the rest of your post as nothing but complete nonsense.

As for your last post being the last time you will post to me, I say..... “Good”.

free trade promoters tend to overemphasize benefits.

intelligent people recognize that benefits are not likely to be derived from something that is offered as “free.”

if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Steve, since you have no adequate response, who is your preferred candidate? Aren’t you the one whining about Cruz anyway?

>>intelligent people recognize that benefits are not likely to be derived from something that is offered as “free.”<<

Funny, I seem to derive a lot of benefit from living in a “free” country.

Do you think “free trade” means that we’ll be dealing in free goods? Seriously?

While we’re at it, maybe we should set up some trade restrictions between the states? And why stop there? Let’s build trade fences around individual cities too.

Only economics illiterates fail to understand the obvious benefits derived from a system of free trade. Those same illiterates also generally have no understanding of the importance of free markets and, unfortunately, there are far too many of them who vote and even hold elective office.

It comes down to this: Ted should NEVER be on the side of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Mitch and Boehner. Why Ted would trust any of these people to do what’s right for America is beyond me. What reason do YOU think he supported this pabulum? I don’t think he expected the backlash on this.
I DO believe that Ted has integrity. That’s why I’m so depressed about this vote right now.

Isara, you KNOW that even if this deal sells America down the river (and what else might we expect from Obama?), they will be able to cobble together enough people from both sides in each house to pass it. When did any of these sordid deals ever get defeated?

this is a very old discussion. it has been going on since NAFTA (1992-1993).

google “free trade debate,” “the cost of free trade,” etc.

quasi populist politicians traditionally are against free trade, until they suddenly switch and are for it.

free trade represents the ascendance of the multinational corporation over sovereign nations. that means, the power of national governments subside and are replaced by the power of moneyed multinational corporate interests in determination of an individual’s fate.

a free country implies responsibilities such as individual contribution to the national defense, so use of the term free is an automatic misnomer. your derivation of benefits from living in a free country is an abuse of logic.

most economists are stuck on stupid these days since their salaries are paid by multinational corporations (directly or through academic grants) or from government institutions which are in turn influenced by multinational corporate lobbyists. economists are the guys that keep telling us all, month after month, that we have turned the corner on the 2008 recession and that unemployment has been trimmed back to normal. you really believe economists? i can sell you a brooklyn bridge.

since you seem to exclude yourself from the category of “economic illiterates,” you would probably love to join the euro, since economists advised europe to do that, and only an economic illiterate would turn that opportunity down, huh. look what is happening to the euro now. how do your vaunted pointy headed economists like that? if you make decisions based on asshat thinking, you get asshat results.
