Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz blasted President Obama for making major concessions to the Cuban government by normalizing relations, and said the U.S. has all but caved to Cuba.

"President Obama announced today he is continuing his policy of unconditional surrender to Fidel and Raul Castro by rewarding one of the most violently anti-American regimes on the planet with an embassy and an official representative of our government," the Texas Republican said.

Cruz has demanded the U.S. move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and said Obama's decision not to do that but to open one in Havana was "unacceptable and a slap in the face" to Israel, according to The Hill.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also said he would not consider confirming an ambassador to Cuba until the White House started working on issues there, such as the U.S. fugitives still in Cuba and the travel restrictions on American diplomats.

"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

THATS IT! TED CRUZ JUST LOST MY VOTE!

[Buckeye McFrog]

This is all about closing Gitmo. Before his term ends he is going to hand it back over to the Cubans and force something to happen which Congress and the American People specifically do not want.

[TNMOUTH]

Beat me to it, Norm!

You forgot to add something about tPA and Goldman Sachs, though ;-)

Interestingly, the trolls have been VERY silent lately

They are on the Trump is our savior threads trying to get people to believe that donating to liberals nd being a clone of Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords is unimportant to ones conservative credibility.

[Norm Lenhart]

Nope. I want the world to know that Ted’s consistently conservative actions disqualify him from my support.

It is partitive that we support another Romney clone so that we can once again lose to admitted letists.

If people support Cruz that could mean a conservative wins and clearly few remaining on FR want such a horror to occur.

[M Kehoe]

The First lady and I are trying to donate to Cruz every month.

All kidding aside, I think he needs boots on the ground more than money. Money yes. Realities of life. but old fashioned people to people contact will go a long way.

[I want the USA back]

Yes. The man who bowed down before foreign leaders and begged forgiveness for the evils of this country has given radical communists all the advantages, and asked for nothing in return.

The only quote they have is “Trump wants American jobs” nad “he talks tough on immigration”...

Never mind the rest of the stuff

Oh!.. I get it now... suggest using “ /snide “ at the end..

[Norm Lenhart]

Been doing this for weeks. Several of us do. I’m surprised you haven’t seen it before.

[Will88]

I don't know if this is official yet, but an article at Breitbart yesterday said that Raul was demanding that the US return Gitmo to Cuba and also stop all TV and radio broadcasts toward Cuba.

Obama's idiot deal might prove to be even worse than a total sell-out.

[polymuser]

I know, right?

We need another old, lame, milquetoast, GOPe candidate for the WIN!
