An overall summary from today’s Value Voters Summit conference is coming later, but this deserved a separate post.
Senator Ted Cruz didn’t need a podium today when he spoke about conservative ideals at today’s Value Voters conference at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. He also didn’t need a bodyguard. When a handful of protestors showed up to interrupt his speech, the Texas senator employed one of his own state’s mottos and showed them “nobody messes” with conservatives.
I counted at least six times that hecklers shouted questions at Cruz regarding his stance on immigration. Each time, the senator had a response. Here were some of his best reactions:
1. “I appreciate you being here. If only the Obama administration appreciated the First Amendment as much.”
2. “It seems that President Obama’s paid political operatives are in full force today.”
3. “Is anyone left at the Organizing for America headquarters?”
4. “I’m actually glad that the president’s whole political staff is here instead of actually doing mischief in the country."
5. “You know what’s striking, actually? In the course of this brief speech, we’ve heard more questions than President Obama’s allowed in the last year."
The crowd, chanting “USA!” and telling the protestors to “shut up!,” were clearly on Cruz’s side. But, it turns out this bold Texan didn’t need much backup. With a 21-hour filibuster under his belt, I’m sure this impressive freshman senator had plenty more comebacks ready just in case.
New commercial on TV just now with RINO Utah gov and Dimwit IN gov wanting people to sign petition to stop the gov shut down. Stinking RINO and Commies going together.
Not Pence from IN, is it? That would be a real shame.
They were wanting “a path to citizenship”.
They already have it. It’s called “get in line and wait your turn”.
TAKE BACK AMERICA, OR LOSE IT!
Nah, but I can’t remember which Rino it was.
He handed their heads to them.
Sweet.
Is there anything he can't handle? No wonder they hate him.
They aren’t playing with a Dummy here.
While Obama hides his Education, Cruz can flaunt his.
He graduated with high honors unlike the Kenyan.
He wasn’t smoking dope and using Cocaine like the Kenyan.
He doesn’t need a teleprompter and he knows who his Daddy is.
Cruz control!
The morons on the Left bring a wet cardboard sword to a gunfight.
“They already have it. It’s called “get in line and wait your turn”.”
Sometimes the obvious gets lost, thank you!
Who really sent the hecklers over—Krauthammer or Graham?
Should be seeing the classic “he’s not qualified to be President” remarks from the left if he decides to run, while ignoring Obama’s “gravitas”...
Jon Huntsman & Evan Bayh
Thank God. Pense is one of my favs. Bayh and the Utah has been makes sense.
