I am getting fed up with all the talking heads disparaging Sen Cruz.

I'm not. He's pissing off all the right people. I laugh every time I hear McQueeg blow up.

I love how even Reid refers to it as “Obamacare” People will spit the Kenyans name over this, just as they spit Hitlers.

He will not be able to distance himself from this fiasco. Even when the MSM starts calling it something else - it IS Obamacare and his name will be associated with it as the sheeple realize just how expensive it is and how poor the coverage is.

Ted Cruz has a strong, patriotic father, who experienced torture in Cuba b/4 finally reaching the USA. He spoke so eloquetly not too long ago on the subject. Like father, like son.

It's sad and infuriating, trubolotta, that here in Illinois we have nothing to trade for a Ted Cruz. The hard core socialist/marxist/commuist scum that represent us in Illinois totals up to nothing more than scum. At least I can say that I've seen and listened to Senator Ted Cruz,and I am proud and hopeful and willing to work my arse off for this man, in any direction he desires to go. He gives me hope...so far, so good.

YES! TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT 2016!

[itssme]

Very symbolic...I don't believe in coincidences.

[itssme]

I miss Breitbart...he and Ted have much in common. Stay close to Ted Cruz, Andrew, he needs God's guidance and our support and protection.

Great post, Jim. Thank you.

Thanks for the ping, SoConPubbie.

You’re a busy little bee these days. Thanks for keeping the Cruz list.

Cruz is now the effective Minority Leader in the Senate, and de facto Speaker of the House. He’s filled the void in leadership that was created by the failed DC GOP ‘leadership’.

Bump.

Let them know how you feel about the treatment of Cruz by RINOS and his effort to defund Obamacare.

May God Bless Senator Cruz, grant him the strength to cleanse the senate and end obamacare.

I am getting fed up with all the talking heads disparaging Sen Cruz.

Thomas Sowell, who I respect immensely, is one of his detractors. It is discouraging to see Sowell belittle this endeavor to stop CommieCare. He concedes that it needs to be done, but that it is a losing battle in the end. But he then doesn't offer any other immediate solution.

When Cruz was in high school, he and some friends formed a club. They memorized the Constitution and went around the state making speeches about the Constitution.

He is for real. That is why he is so unpopular with politicians.

You’re a busy little bee these days. Thanks for keeping the Cruz list.

I know, and I'm not pinging half of the articles I could. ;)

There is a betrayal taking place before our very eyes.

[VRW Conspirator]

Time will tell but it appears that Senator Cruz does in fact follow through on his initial intentions.

Agreed. My rule of politicians: All politicians are scoundrels until proven otherwise. Upon proof, these "unproven" must make monthly installments of proof otherwise they are re-labeled scoundrels.

[madison10]

I trust Cruz like I’ve never trusted any other politician in my life, INCLUDING Reagan. And he’s MY senator, thank God!

So do I. I could just hug him for being a person I did not think we would see in Washington in my lifetime.

Wish he were my senator, but I thank you for sharing. :) (Rafael of the Cross - LOL)

Been calling all of Sen Cornyn’s offices here in The Great State of Texas.

All lines, all lines in all EIGHT offices are busy. No voice-mail, can’t get through. Sent an email through his website.

One can imagine he is swamped with calls calling him out on his attack on Sen Cruz’s principled stand.
