Cruz: Planned Parenthood a 'criminal enterprise'
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/28/15 | Ariel Cohen

Posted on 07/28/2015 3:57:41 PM PDT by markomalley

Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Ben Carson led conservatives in a rally against Planned Parenthood Tuesday, following the publication of three videos detailing the organization's sale of organs harvested from aborted fetuses.

"Today the U.S. Department of Justice should open a criminal investigation into whether Planned Parenthood nationally is a criminal enterprise breaking the law," Cruz said on the lawn on the Capitol. But the Texas senator was skeptical this would happen, adding "the Obama Justice Department in acting as little more than a partisan arm of the Democratic National Committee."

Cruz is backing Sen. Mike Lee's, R-Utah, attempt to eliminate federal funding for Planed Parenthood. The measure was blocked by Senate leadership over the weekend, a move that Cruz called "altogether unacceptable."

The junior senator from Texas also called for an investigation of Planned Parenthood's local affiliates, a congressional hearing, and urged the media to stand up to Democratic candidates who support Planned Parenthood.

"I call on mainstream media to ask Hillary Clinton if she is pleased that she has so much passionate support from Planned Parenthood, an entity that appears to be a national criminal enterprise," Cruz said to much applause.

While Cruz's remarks were a hit with the crowd, for many Ben Carson was the real star of the show. His advance teamed handed out materials with the candidate's face on it.

"He says what needs to be said without fear of losing votes. He has on several occasion said things like its never wrong to do the right thing,' and we have political leaders who don't even understand what he's talking about," said Bill Hatfield, a Carson supporter who was visiting from Illinois. "He has ethics, standards and morals."

Carson also decried Planned Parenthood, expressing concern that a "politically correct society" was losing its moral bearings.

Finally the pubs are on the attack. The Trump effect rubbing off on Cruz. Cruz needs to turn up the volume ten times and he will be nipping Trump at the heals.

You’re on a truth roll, hosepipe. No reason to stop…but I guess any low-information voters could mull over what you just said.

THANK YOU.

The bible instructs us how to choose our leaders.

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
In the same way, deacons[b] are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain.
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
In the same way, the women[c] are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
A deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his household well.
Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.”
1 Timothy 3:1-13

Ted Cruz is the only candidate that meets this criteria

Planned Parenthood officers and staff should be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced to publicly hang for genocidal murder, crimes against humanity, and treason.

It is as if the entire Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise. Can’t think of a single issue where they land on the side of righteousness. I can understand disagreements in how we navigate taxes and public policy, but to be on a side that despises religious liberty? Sells dead baby parts for profit? Stifles free speech? Sanctions homosexual hatred? Just. Wow.

WH = Criminal enterprise (Illegal EO's)
IRS = Criminal enterprise (Weaponized targeting of conservative groups)
DHS = Criminal enterprise (WHO IS KATHY STEINLE???? Flooding America with MEXICO'S PRISON POPULATIONS and Democrat voters from Mexico in violation of Federal Law)
FBI = Criminal enterprise (Politicized, hamstrung.. Selective investigations that never go anywhere by order of Odungo, investigated Benghazi 4 weeks after all evidence had been removed by locals and CNN media hacks)
EPA = Criminal enterprise (Shutting down America's Agricultural industry, declaring land off-limits to private citizens, KNOWINGLY USING FALSE 'climate change' and 'global warming' data)
DOJ = Criminal enterprise ('Just Us' Dept complicit in multiple cover-ups and refusals to investigate criminal activity at all other agencies)
HHS = Criminal enterprise (Lying about Obamacare in order to project it as successful)
State Dept = Criminal enterprise (Perhaps the MOST traitorous agency of them all. Full of little commies and 60's leftover communist sympathizers working to undermine America's 'exceptional' posture on the world stage. Yes, Marie Harf was put there INTENTIONALLY TO EMBARRASS AMERICA AND TO MAKE AMERICA APPEAR WEAK AND IGNORANT.)

Blah, blah, blah, blah, more of the same all with the end goal of undermining America and subjugating her to the United Nations' New World Order and Agenda 21.

Actually, Ted was on the attack long before Trump jumped into the race, but thanks for noticing all the same!

This is why gridlock in DC is worse than ever, BECAUSE the Democrat party transformed itself into something our Forefathers would not have allowed to set foot into any Federal building or the Capitol. They are the traitor party and compromising with traitors is impossible, hence the gridlock. It's their way or the highway.

Try plugging JFK into today's Democrat party. CAN'T DO IT. As a matter of fact, today he would be considered a Republican. He mentioned 'God' numerous times in his Inauguration address, something today's Democrat party voted to omit from their platform.. THESE ARE COMMUNISTS WHO DO SUCH A THING.
