This would probably be a good time to remind everyone that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) refused to endorse Donald Trump for president at the RNC nominating convention back in 2016. We could have ended up with “President Hillary Clinton” because of that petty stunt, but fortunately, support for Trump was way too massive.
Cruz is easy to like for those of us on the right, so it’s always painful to watch when he has one of those “moments” where he figuratively pours gas on himself and lights a match. He had another one this week when delivering a speech in the Senate. Cruz said that the January 6 protests were a “violent terrorist attack,” using the approved talking points of Nancy Pelosi to describe what was actually a mostly peaceful protest.
That speech earned Cruz a trip to the forefront of the world of memes, and this little gem where he’s wearing one of the pink yarn hats from the Women’s March. A violent terrorist attack?
Good grief! Many of the people targeted by the Justice Department since that day are our friends and neighbors. It really was a mostly peaceful protest. Whose side is Ted Cruz on, anyway?

I’m new to Virginia, just in time to vote for Youngkin. Came from NY, where 64 counties voted for the Republican candidate for governor, and just 14 counties voted for Cuomo.
We don’t need anyone who’s going to be another squish or Assistant Democrat. Or “reach across the aisle”.
We need an unequivocal supporter of Conservative values and beliefs, a champion for America and all of our freedoms. Someone who APPEARS to be that and then mischaracterizes Jan 6 to fit the narrative of the insane left has just kicked us all in the nuts. We’ve seen this before and we’ve had enough. Reaction is swift because we won’t be fooled again.
Cruz ruined himself when he took up with Glenn Beck back in ... ‘15? He was trounced by Trump in the debates but seemed to make a good show since. He was able to win back a lot of support from our side. It feels now, that was all for show and a fake display.
Don’t tell me what you’ve done. Show me what you are. Old Ted has done just that, he’s crapped on the goodwill he’s been granted, in one sentence.
“Fool me once, strike 1.
Fool me twice, strike 3”.

Ted is a reliable conservative vote in the Senate. He’s not presidential material, but I hope he gets another term in the Senate.
I live in Florida and have been watching DeSantis. He is a political animal who never saw a camera he didn’t like, but he has been reliably conservative and has a very quick mind to respond to the hostile press. It may be his time.
Cruz is very popular in the state of Texas. He will remain our senator after the smoke clears. He eff’d up. He is owning up to it. So, there it is.
I see your flying the Cali flag on your profile. Proof positive we are all dealing with the ongoing culture war.
We best stick together and tamp down our differences or the leftists will surely capitalize on them.
Just go out to democrat underground and read some of their stuff. You’ll see them strategizing relentlessly
Youngkin is no staunch conservative to be sure. He’z already kinda shown his colors, but hey, it’s all y’all got for now.
Better than McAuliffe or Northam.
>>“I’ve been to D.C. many times...”It shows.<<
Very nice snarky comment. Way to play as a team there Bob. Let’s just eat our own.
“My name is Ted, and one day, I’ll be dead yo-yo!”
We best stick together and tamp down our differences or the leftists will surely capitalize on them.
***That’s just another way to say “Let’s move on”. Perhaps you should consider that the best way to deal with effups like this is to let the fire run its course. Ted is the one who stepped in it, let Ted clean the shiite off his own shoe.

Just helping others understand where you’re coming from...
Cruz will continue to be our senator from the great state of Texas. You know, the most conservative state in the union.
I sure wish folks from places like California and New York would put as much energy against their own crooked politicians the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer as they do against a guy like Cruz.
>>Just helping others understand where you’re coming from...<<
You think like a child.
I sure wish you’d find sumthin better to do than find new ways to say “Let’s move on”. Free Republic is based in California, so don’t let that irony hit ya on the way out of your own locked mindset.
Just pointing out that folks should focus on cleaning up their own house rather than being critical of others. Just trying to help.

Secession
It's time for us to jettison those who reject our national values because there's no changing them. Time to secede.
We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.
While we're at it, since we'd be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well.
Note that this option is becoming increasingly popular.

Uhh, you’re pointing that out to US , maybe you and your boy should clean out your own house before telling us to clean ours. You admit yourself that your boy effed up. These are the consequences of pretense towards conservatism just so a guy can further his political career.
Just trying to help.
Yup. “Just trying to help” to use an expression that he used. Now it’s time to use his other expression and tell HIM to “move on”.
You think like a child.
***You’ve done enough damage to conservatism in trying to help out your boy whom you admit effed up. So to use your expression, let’s have you move on. Just trying to help.
You’re kinda like that crazy date that won’t stop calling.
Honey, we only dated once. No. I don’t love you. Could you please stop calling me.
lol
Look, here’s a cool brand new thread where you can prop up your boy and start helping him to look good.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4027538/posts
A real good thread to “move on” to.
Look, don’t slash my tires honey. I didn’t mean to jilt you. Please stop calling. For the last time, I don’t love you.
You’re kinda like that crazy knight in “Search for the Holy Grail” who insists he can still fight when his arm & leg are cut off.
You should consider your own advice and “move on” before all ya can do is spit.
