Rove: Cruz’s Marathon Speech ‘An Extraordinary Performance’
National Review ^ | 9/26/13 | Sterling Beard

Posted on 09/28/2013 10:16:32 AM PDT by jimbo123

Karl Rove, normally a critic of Ted Cruz, complimented the freshman senator’s marathon speech and said he had positioned himself well for 2016.

“I obviously don’t agree with the strategy . . . of trying to defund [Obamacare] as opposed to trying to delay . . . but that was an extraordinary performance,” Rove said

-snip-

Rove took a noticeably softer line on Cruz than he has in recent days. He previously called the defunding strategy “ad hoc” and said Cruz had created it without consulting with his Senate colleagues.

Unlike Rove, we conservatives oppose the existence of ObamaCare today an next year and the year after that.

rove is going to have to find another gig and it is very inconvenient to him.

But he and his kind are done.

He knows it. Acceptance is the next step.

“Rove is gushing now, only because Cruz is winning.”

Rove is looking for his next client. Gotta hand it to Rove. He is a freaking RINO lover, but he can sure win elections. If he ran Cruz’ campaign, Cruz is winning the election hands down.

Rove wants to keep on Cruz’s good side in case there’s some future polling $$$ to be made.

Maybe the GOPe is starting to warm up to the right wing.

Or maybe it's dawning on them the people support the right wing - - and they're a little afraid for their cushy jobs.

The gop-e said they wanted to open their arms to more latinos in the party. Well, be careful what you wish for, guys...and don’t complain when you get what you wanted.

anyone wondered where in the hell Marco Rubio is?

He voted against cloture and I thank him for it, but he used his time on the Senate floor with Cruz to practice his pro-amnesty speeches.

Let’s tell Rove we agree with him that we need to focus on getting the latino vote, therefore we invite him to help nominate our first latino candidate, Ted Cruz.

I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he has used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.

I’ve sent my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.

Dick Bachert
*************
WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!

Among others, Thomas Jefferson warned that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency, to wit:

“When the servants of the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”

It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that un-backed currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”

If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw this problem ahead:

In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”

If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.

That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.

We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.

He’s gushing to cover his tracks. Rove is the “leaker” who will attempt to break the TEA party.

I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.

I watched Cruz in the morning until Reid shut him down. And I had my kids watch before they went to school.
