It is astounding how ignorant many FReepers are when it comes to the powers of the federal government and the authority of a state governor.

Sad. . .

So, Beto is checking on thousands of seniors. Let’s see the call lists, call centers, volunteers making the calls. Don’t hold your breath waiting for proof. If Beto claimed he was scaling wind turbines to defrost them, the media would gladly print his claim—without any confirmation.

Better yet, let’s find a dozen seniors willing to release their phone records showing an actual call from Beto’s group.

If you are so smart, why aren’t you a Senator?

Below is a link to some bill that Cruz co-sponsered to promote energy development in the USA.

https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1071

The following section is pertinent today, 7 years later. “Elections have consequences”:

**************************

Stop certain EPA regulations that will adversely impact coal and electric power plants. In 2008, President Obama promised to bankrupt coal. As of June 2013, there were already 288 coal units closed or closing in 32 states because of EPA policies. These 288 closures amount to a total of more than 41,000 megawatts of electricity generation no longer being available.

Same reason you aren’t. . .too smart to go into politics.

Debating dems would be like wrestling a pig; you both get muddy but the pig luv’s it.

“Why am I posting this? Because there are dozens of FReepers on dozens of threads today who cannot understand that Cruz made a drastic blunder.”

I am a Freeper and Cruz supporter who believes this was a fatal mistake politically and electorally. I suspect he will never win another election nor ever hold another office of any kind, It is difficult to express how knuckleheaded this was.

I totally love it. I always love a good meme. Here we are freezing our asses off in Texas while Ted thinks it’s a good idea to go to Cancun.

We elect politicians to take care of these sorts of matters and run things efficiently. It is their job. If it’s up to us to run the electrical grid, or dispense justice, or make our own roads and bridges, why do we need them in the first place?

I’d rather have Cruz who made an optics mistake than El Puta Politico who will grab your guns, support the over running of the US by illegal, and support the communist take over.

“If you are so smart, why aren’t you a Senator?“

I have thought about it, how much money can you contribute to my campaign?
Or maybe I’ll just go for President.
Go big or go home.
If you play nice I might even look at a cabinet position for you .
Or maybe ambassador to the Bahamas ?
That always sounds like a great job!
