Sen. Ted Cruz: 'I don’t trust Republicans'(Cruz responds to McCain)

Posted on 05/22/2013 11:44:49 AM PDT by cotton1706

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday that he doesn’t trust members of his own party to negotiate a budget conference report.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) asked for a 10th time for unanimous consent to form a budget committee conference to work out the differences between the House and Senate budgets, but Republicans objected unless conferees are prohibited from raising the debt ceiling.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said he thought it was “bizarre” that member of his own party didn’t trust that the House Republicans wouldn’t hold the party line in negotiations.

No, that’s why we need to decapitate the Republican party by eliminating the current RNC and replacing it with a NEW RNC ~ I’ve discussed this numerous times. just look up FreeRepublic MUawiyah NEW RNC

Cruz’s remarks also remind me of Gunning Bedford Jr.’s remarks at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, “I do not, gentlemen, trust you!”

McSane ain't. He is worse than a party hack from a hacked party, he should be _long_ gone.

The GOP needs to be rehabilitated or taken out back of the barn and put out its compromising, cowardly misery. Tea time or end the facade.

“It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
|
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barterd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the commonwealth?
|
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defild this sacred place, and turnd the Lords temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressd, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
|
In the name of God, go!”
— Oliver Cromwell, Dissolution of the Long Parliament, given to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653

John McCain looked me in the eye and said to me, “NO AMNESTY.” We were at an event this last election. I told him that his votes made it “difficult” to trust him. So I said, right here, in front of all these people, I want you to tell us that you will not vote for any kind of amnesty. He promised he wouldn’t. I said to him..Senator McCain, “SAY IT...SAY I WILL NOT VOTE FOR AMNESTY OF ANY KIND.”

Term limits.

I wouldn`t trust the republiCRAT party with my dirty shorts.

Me neither, Ted.

I prefer a declared enemy to a supposed ally who will stab me in the back.

When is McCain’s term up anyway? Do you know if he will be running for reelection?

I trust Republicans. I don't trust RINO's, GOP Insiders, and the GOP-e types...

I'd still trust any of the above over a Democrat however.

As we watch Lame-Brain McCain descend from RINO to Wacko-Bird to Bizarre, one has to ask: “ How low can McCain go?

My guess is that he will soon switch political parties and become a Democrat.

I want the Vichy Republicans to be booted out of power! Their party REPLACED by another! Now they only serve as Straw men for the Progs—to be defeated with a few slick ads on TV. Look what they did to Mitt? Dole? even McCain? Look what they did to one of there own—Sarah Palin? Nope—time for USIP. A Third Party destined to be the 2nd Party—then the first. Once—in the 1850s—The Republicans were a 3rd Party.
