BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, folks, here's another just a little throwaway question. Does it surprise you that somebody saying "vote your conscience" would be booed practically out of an arena? Vote your conscience. Boo! Vote your conscience. Boo! Leave! Get out! I mean, I know I'm not including context here, but just stop and think of this for a second. Cruz's message is vote your conscience, and all hell rained down on him.
Now, the context is that vote your conscience, I know, happens to be a rallying cry for many of the Never Trumpers. And further context is that vote your conscience could be code language for how in the world can you possibly vote for this guy Trump if you have a conscience? And it's obviously, I think, what a lot of people thought Cruz meant, and that's why the boos. But just without any context, somebody says vote your conscience and gets booed.
Here's where I think Cruz could have done better. And, look, armchair quarterbacking, morning-after hindsight's always cheap and easy, but I think it's an important point. Last night Cruz complained that freedom was under assault. And he's right. It wasn't a complaint; it was a warning; it was an acknowledgment. But what he didn't do is make the clear difference that a Clinton and Trump presidency would make to freedom itself and to the Constitution itself.
It wasn't until this morning, under intense questioning from the Texas delegation that Cruz said he wasn't gonna vote for Hillary. He didn't say that last night. He left it for implication, or inference. I think had he drawn this comparison, he acknowledged that there's no contest between Trump and Hillary when it comes to voting to preserve and expand freedom, he didn't explicitly do that. Hillary Clinton's a clear and present danger to the Constitution. And Cruz, a lot of speakers made the point last night, but Cruz didn't. Not expressly.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, Cruz was asked about his pledge. They all took the pledge on the same stage last August to support the eventually nominee. And they asked Cruz about that, the Texas delegation. And he said that that day was "abrogated" when this became personal. "The day that pledge was abrogated was the day this became personal." He says, "I'm not gonna get into criticizing or attacking Donald Trump, but I'm just going to give you this response.
"I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father." And he mentioned this a couple of other times and used the words, "I'm not gonna be a puppy dog here in servitude to a guy accuses my dad of assisting in the JFK assassination." And again, in saying that, it just takes everything that Cruz said the night before in his speech off the table. We eventually got the big reveal.
Everybody said, "Gee, what's that? What's going on? What the hell here?"
All this in-depth analysis, and it boils down to that.
Some of the in-depth analysis was, you know, there's a lot of Never Trumpers out there, and the Never Trumpers, they're a loyal bunch, and Cruz wants to be considered the leader. Cruz wants to be the guy. He wants to be the guy that's considered the number one, consistent Never Trumper. And that's who he was playing to last night, at the expense of party loyalty. The Texas delegation was not happy.
Name recognition is unimportant when opposing two globalist scumbags of this ilk. One of the state legislators will do far better.
Perry will crush Booos. Like a bug. Sit down and watch. Perry REDEEMED!! I hated him!!He woke the hell up. I suggest you do too.!
“Cruz will learn from this experience and maybe 8-10 years from now, become a viable Presidential candidate again.”
Cruz’s problem isn’t lack of experience or knowledge, things that can overcome by learning from mistakes; Cruz’s problem is lack of judgement, lack of common sense, lack of human empathy for others, inability to work with others, and a massive, massive number of character flaws, including monumental ego, monumental arrogance, lack of honor, and inability to be truthful. These kinds of problems are simply not fixable by learning from experience.
I will pass on your islamist toady and shill for the cartels.
I do not embrace your globalist dream, and no sick scumbag who panderes to racial supremacist organizations is worth a crap.
Ever.
Then there was the whole sick gardasil thing. And the land seizures in the Trans Texas Corridor coupled with an agreement not to widen our limited access north/Southhighways.
PPerry is a walking poster boyfor the globalist age da.
And the regions of Texas where hhospitals closed down because they had to treat all the illegals without getting paid squat?
No.
I don’t need to wake up at all.
I and many other who care about these issues worked long and hard to remove Perry and his toady Dewhurst from the scene.
You can’t defend Rick Perry without embracing Sharia courts.
Tell us all about how great Sharia law is Wendell. Your boy Perry gave MuslimsIin Texas Sharia courts. I do not embrace Islam the way you do.
bump
I have no idea what you are talking about. I am talking about the former Governor of Texas ? “Sharia” , “Islamist”, “globalist”? “Illegal hospitals”? I don’t think you are talking about the new Senator to be.. That is someone else. You must be a crushed cruzer. I know it’s hard for you but let’s don’t break from reality. Ted boos cruz was, is and will be forgotten after Cleveland never to be seen on the screen again. GO TRUMP!!
I think Ted's failure with evangelicals and in the South has exposed just how small the TruCon™ movement really is.
Texas has the first Sharia Court, triumphal mosque, and Asian Immersion School in the US. How'd that happen?
Circa 2003: then-Gov Rick Perry advances Muslim teachings; builds mosque; sets up Texas Sharia Court
Then-Gov Rick Perry signs agreement with the Aga Khan--Muslim leader.
PERRY: “It is a great honor to be in the presence of the Imam of 16 million Muslims around the world, a global humanitarian leader, a man of peace with a pluralistic vision for people around the world, His Highness, the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims.
PERRY: Your Highness, on behalf of 23 million Texans, and over 600,000 thousand Muslims living in Texas, I extend our heartfelt appreciation for your 50 years of great international leadership."
PERRY: "We are delighted to welcome you to the Lone Star State and participate in the celebration of your Golden Jubilee. I am also grateful to the many federal, state and local leaders in attendance tonight. By their presence, these special guests convey the profound respect that exists in the Western World for His Highness’ work and leadership.”
In April 2004, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and Univ of Texas-Austin finalized a grant proposal that created the partnership that became known as the Muslim Histories and Cultures Program (MHC).
MHC recruited and directly trained 80 teachers affecting approximately 15,150 students of World History and World Geography in ten key Texas districts in 2005 and 2006.
The purpose is two-fold 1) to fulfill Governor Rick Perry’s desire to better educate Texas teachers on Muslim topics and 2) to train teachers to use a cultural lens approach to understanding other cultures.
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE STATEMENT : Governor Perry was instrumental in getting this program off the ground (and was helpful in getting a triumphal mosque built in Texas, and placing Sharia Law in the Texas justice system). ####
===============================================

Candidate Cruz heaped a load OF BS on trusting Texans:
<><> I didn't know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didn't know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn't report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
Cruz better get packing for Calgary.
BACKSTORY--In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.
=============================================
Nowadays, these onetime Cruz supporters in Texas are airing their gripes----many are p!ssed at Cruz for not disclosing that as a Senate candidate, he was still a Canadian citizen. And is now expecting the whole country to rationalize that he's a NBC and eligible for the office......
Cruz got clobbered a long time ago...he just hasn't hit the floor, yet.
To quote Barack Obama, “Ted Cruz acted stupidly”.
Good luck with those innuendos and no facts. Where is the Mosque that Perry built? Did he actually do carpenter work? Did he build his mosque with Tax payer money? Somehow we have missed all this .
It amazes me to see that some on FR think that the mere fact that Cruz’s mother was born in the USA makes him a natural born citizen, regardless of any and all other factors.
Well, Trump graciously allowed Cruz to speak at the convention, even though Cruz attacked Trump’s wife first and sent dear old dad on a crusade slandering Trump before any mention or JFK.
Sounds like “non-Christian” Trump was acting much more reasonable than Lyin’ Ted Cruzifer.
Then again, are you reasonable or a Cruzlim?
Or a troll. I have no idea who you are... so I’m saying troll.
Welcome back to FR...after your 6 year hiatus, troll.
Old advice, if you don’t have anything nice to say, shut your trap and stay off the Stage.
Former Cruzer here. More disappointed than I can say.
I’ll be on the lookout, FRiend :)
Cruz who?
