CRUZ or LOSE!Posted on 04/12/2015 12:01:16 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
How many Republican policies has Obama signed into law anyway?
Cruz did not shut down the government. Harry Reid and Obama shut down the government.
No comrade, must make unemployment for life. Just as Mother USSA has made lifetime food stamps, welfare, housing all lifetime programs. You would do good comrade to get with party line or keep your remarks to yourself. Remember the GOP, DNC, NSA, IRS and many others are watching everything you say and do.
Maybe I should go to camp..,
“We raised our standards with Sen. Ted Cruz, so now UP YOURS !”
That was essentially my reaction, then I thought he’d probably welcome the act.
Yeah. A lecture on temperament from a guy who wants to start about six more wars. What a stable guy!
It was because of Graham that Clinton wasn’t removed from office. He voted against the most serious charge out of the committee. When I saw that I knew he was a fraud.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
As FReepers read this post, please bear in mind that Sen. Graham is a perfect example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified, state lawmakers foolishly giving up their voices in Congress when they ratified that amendment.
More specifically, misguided RINO Sen. Graham is ignoring his oath to protect and defend the Constitution by wrongly ignoring the following concerning unconstitutional Obamacare. Regardless what lawless Obama’s activist justices want everybody to believe about the constitutionality of Obamacare, Constitution-respecting justices had previously clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from a Supreme Court case opinion.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The reason that taxpayers are now paying for unconstitutional federal programs like Obamacare is the following imo. When the Founding States established the federal Senate, they gave control of the Senate uniquely to state lawmakers. Part of the reason for having state legislatures control the Senate was so that the Senate could protect their states from federal government overreach by killing House appropriations bills which could not be justified under Congress’s Section 8-limited powers, Obamacare an example. This is because federal spending programs like Obamacare basically steal state revenues that could be used to finance 10th Amendment-protected state healthcare programs.
But now, as a consequence of 17A, citizens go home after voting for their favorite federal senators and watch football, oblivious to the problem that corrupt senators are robbing voter’s wallets. Senators are doing so by working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional appropriations bills like vote-winning Obamacare which Congress cannot justify under its Section 8-limited powers.
Also, if it wasn’t for 17A, state lawmakers might have built up a 2/3 conservative majority in the Senate by now. This means that Congress could have possibly impeached and booted lawless Obama from the Oval Office by now.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
“First, when asked about Ted Cruz, Graham criticized his decision to shut down the government over Obamacare, saying it “hurt our party.”
right- and the midterm elections from last November proved his point...oh, wait.
CRUZ or LOSE! I think Linda would view that as an invitation rather than a threat.
