AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tea party darling Ted Cruz has been sworn in as U.S. senator and says his first order of business will be introducing a bill he knows will never pass.

Yep and his depth of support in TX is amazing.

Remember, Romney won Texas 60/40 in November and our neighbors to the North in OK voted for Romney 70/30. This will never be Obozo country.

FUBO!

Now that’s a Texan we can all be proud of. Thank you, Ted!

"” - - - He has pledged that his first bill would seek to repeal “every syllable of every word” of the Obama administration’s health care reform law.”

YES!

Texas Fossil,

Could some of y'all move here to Colorado and help us balance out the Denver/Boulder/Ft. Collins people? Please?

Not one bit of newser bias shown in that lead sentence ... no siree bub ... not one bit!

I sure hope so. Maybe one of them will not sell out.

Given how Republicans are, I bet Cruz is totally in favor of Obamacare within a week.

I bet he will hold his ground, thank goodness it's not Senator Dewhurst - for sure that would be another RINO working in the best interest of DC, not Texas!

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL

[manic4organic]

You’re not from Texas, are you?

[Spktyr]

Sorry, we need them here for the upcoming secession vote.

[fabian]

wow, better yet look at his beautiful family!

[Spktyr]

Just for the information of non-Texans, this guy replaces the well known RINO Kay Bailey Hutchison. He also displaced her chosen favorite in the primaries.

“Given how Republicans are, I bet Cruz is totally in favor of Obamacare within a week.”

I can’t say I blame you for the comment. But just maybe, just maybe, Cruz will tell the leadership to ‘pluck’ off if you know what I mean.

So he doesn’t get any plum committee assignments, but votes straight conservative for 6 years. Not bad and believe it or not, that IS something to run on for re-election. I just wish more Republicans could figure that out.
