Hypocrites. Complete and utter hypocrites in both parties! Establishment guys are the same no matter which party they present!

Enough of the Cruz bashing. He encouraged people to stay home because it’s freaking dangerous to drive in that stuff. How many people have decent tires for snow in Texas? Is the FR a class envy site now?

WTH has happened to this site? Bashing Cruz, when any of us would go to Cancun in a quick minute.
To: USA Conservative
Wherever they point, look in the opposite direction.

The Cruz family going on vacation?
Well, it’s entirely possible that it was planned ahead of the harsh weather, so, the bashing might be a bit premature.

“That’s something that he has to answer to his constituents about,” state Republican Party Chairman Allen West said when asked whether Cruz’s travel was appropriate while Texans are without power and water...“I’m here trying to take care of my family and look after my friends and others that are still without power,” West said. “That’s my focus.” Allen West is a retired army officer who understands the quaint, anachronistic notion of noblesse oblige.
Cruz is an ivy leaguer who understands the concept of, "spring break."

“long-planned trip to Cancun”
I disagree that he’s being hypocritical. The trip was planned long ago and he urged people not to get in icy roads during the storm. Totally different than Newsome or Pelosi telling people to “social distance” and then going to parties at expensive restaurants and having a hair dresser open specifically for you.
To: Seruzawa
Politicians don’t go to the tropics wheN their region is suffering
And it’s not an accusation for him. He just came on local news to say it was his daughters’ fault and he’ll be back to TX ASAP as long as there is a motorcade of otherwise busy emergency vehicles to meet him at the site port
No exaggeration.

Cruz is one of the only good guys out there. He wasn’t outside in Texas. No hypocrisy at all! Heck, I left Texas too when I saw what was coming!

Wait a sec. His “stay home” comment was to keep people from driving in adverse conditions. Totally different context. I’ve got no problem with anyone getting out of Dodge in real bad weather conditions.
To: Seruzawa
Enough of the Cruz bashing.
Yep - what's he supposed to do? Chop firewood or shovel their driveways? I thought Texans were self reliant.

AP confirmed that Cruz traveled to Mexico on Wednesday for a family vacation.
This truly may have been a previously planned family vacation. However, an actual LEADER would have cancelled it in solidarity with the people he represents.
Once the rose colored glasses are removed, I’m seeing the US government for what it is. And it ain’t good.

Amazing at how the media plays people here like a fiddle.
You people give the media all the power that they want.

So should he have gone home to Texas and used power they don’t have? How is he responsible for what the Governor and others have wrought?
