Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn't backing off the tough rhetoric he's used to describe the Iran nuclear deal, despite criticism leveled by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday.
Cruz has steadfastly maintained that President Barack Obama's administration would become a leading state-sponsor of terror if the agreement it struck with Iran makes it past Congress. He and others have argued that Iran would use a windfall from sanctions relief to finance terror abroad.
Both Obama and Romney have called Cruz's remarks inappropriate.
Romney wrote on Twitter early Thursday that he also opposes the Iran deal, but said Cruz's comments were "way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause."
Cruz, 2016 presidential candidate, fired back at Romney in a Thursday radio interview with KFYO's Chad Hasty.
"So Mitt Romney's tweet today said, 'Gosh, this rhetoric is not helpful,'" Cruz said. "John Adams famously said, 'Facts are stubborn things.' Describing the actual facts is not using rhetoric; it is called speaking the truth."(continued)

Ohhhhhh, that’s gonna leave a mark.
Telling it like it is.
I have to disagree with you Conservativejoy ( in which, is not often ) Jeb Bush is the most worthless peice of shiet milk toast I ever seen with Linda Graham a close 2nd.
Yes, keep shoving, shoving out the crap.
I bet Ted Cruz or his advisors have a account here on Free Republic getting free campaign advise from us, and testing the waters to see where the people are at and what they are saying.
Cruz it on !
Where is that animation of Ted Cruz saying “ Excellent “ ? And ? Also ? With the boss from the Simpsons ?
Ted Cruz : “ Mitt Romney, there is a reason why you got clobbered by Obama “ .........
EXCELLENT !!!
Mittens needs to just go away....worst vote I’ve ever made was for him and “lyin’ Paul Ryan.”
Boo-Yah!
When you’re surrounded by the enemy, it tends to simplify things. You shoot at everything that moves.
You guys keep this up and our FR Mittbots are gonna CRY!
You are well on your way!
I sense you are between 4&5 right now.
??? Are you sure you posted this to the right person? I detest Bush.
I think A.C. meant Bush is #1 worst.
Cruz cannot let any of this go or it will be grabbed and used further either by the MSM or opponents on both sides of the aisle. The “rhetoric” was the TRUTH darn it and needed saying.
This fight important and I personally love to see wusses get clobbered even if it’s verbally.
From the article:
“Part of the reason that Mitt Romney got clobbered by Barack Obama is because we all remember that third debate where Barack Obama turned to Mitt and said, ‘I said the Benghazi attack was terrorism and no one is more upset by Benghazi than I am.’ And Mitt, I guess listening to his own advice, said, ‘Well gosh, I don’t want to use any rhetoric. So OK, never mind. I’ll just kind of rearrange the pencil on the podium here,’” Cruz said.
Ha!! Love it! Mittens is steaming right about now.
Ted pulls no punches. This is what is needed. The time for being nice is long past.
Lol, yes, just responding to your comment about Romney.
Course we both detest Romney, but Bush is just as bad or worse.
You said that Romney must be the most milk toast POS , I had to disagree, Bush is the most worthless POS milk toast.
But, yes, both are POS milk toast.
Yes mittens got clobbered by ozero, but Cruz still has to win the Presidency or he to will be a loser. Don’t get me wrong, I want Cruz to win.
