World Net Daily ^ | 7/27/2015 | Garth Kant

WASHINGTON – Just days after publicly calling the majority leader a liar on the Senate floor, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has upped the stakes in his war on GOP brass by accusing Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., of spearheading the effort to keep taxpayer funds going to Planned Parenthood.

In a statement that mentioned “gruesome videos of senior officials of Planned Parenthood discussing the selling of body parts of unborn children,” Cruz blasted McConnell for blocking an amendment by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to defund the abortion provider.

While Trump is bellowing "Look at me!", Ted Cruz is fighting the good fight in the Senate and exposing the duplicitous nature of the Washington Cartel. Cruz is the ONLY one doing this.

What Cruz is doing is so much more important than Trump's grandstanding that they shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

Washington is under the thumb by a one-party system controlled by global elites who want the world in their bloody jaws.

What is Trump doing to fight that? He's part of it! Notice that Fox News is attacking Cruz for not attacking Trump. Why?

Because Cruz is exposing the friends of Murdoch and Ailes on the floor of the Senate. Dr. Strangelove (Krauthammer), Little Lord Fauntleroy (Will) and Eeyore (Hume) have their marching orders: STOP CRUZ!

At this point, Cruz has burned his ships in the Senate. Cortez did that, so his army was forced to march on Moctezuma.

[WHY did he sidestep the MAIN ISSUE, which is they are united in the bloody slaughter of babies in the womb.]

Politicians have turned a blind eye on the unborn for so many years it is a non-issue to them. It’s all about the ‘economy.’

Critique a politician’s newsletter...
NOTHING is mentioned about bills regarding social issues, only economic bills.

I thought McConnell simply didn’t want PP defunding attached to the “highway bill”, but rather to see it in a stand alone bill. No?

Guess not, or else McConnell would get his bushy tail out there and explain that exactly.

Oh, it’s coming, friend...it’s coming big time. And when He drops the Hammer, it’s gonna be frickin’ ugly beyond your wildest imagination. It will make the scenes in the “Walking Dead” (we call it the Walking Democrats in these parts) look like a kindergarten picnic. We can only pray that America turns around for it happens.

Cruz id doing righteous work here. Good on him, and God bless him.

Planned Parenthood, and all those involved in the killing of little children in the womb and then selling their body parts are a bunch of frickin’ Josef Mengeles.

Anyone who cannot see this once they see the Planned Parenthood rep on the video, and then hear the rabid defense of these animals by the libs, progressives, and PP itself, is past feeling as far as I am concerned.

And the fact that GOP leadership is falling over itself to continue PP funding is equally sickening and makes them equally culpable...particularly after this wretchedness has been exposed.

Either we the people are going to have to stand and put this evil down, and use our power of the vote to do so...and then legally and criminally go after these people...or I predict one day that God in Heaven will do so Himself...and if He has to, then it is going to be ugly for our nation, and His judgement will be just.

We have been the most richly blessed nation in the world...and God has already told us, through His Son, Jesus Christ, that anyone who offends little ones like these children, that it would be better in the long run for them that a millstone were tied around their neck and they be tossed in the Ocean.

Declare Psalm 91 over your household. It is a Psalm for such a time as this.

Who were the Senators who stood with Senator Lee, Cruz and who else. I doubt either Mississippi Senator, Wicker or Cochran stood for right.

On the contrary, McConnell perfectly represents the state of the GOP-e today.
