Baloney. Cruz knew what was in those trade bills. Or he is a liar. He said he read them. And since those bills were specifically mentioned in the TPA, he voted to fast track them.
No, Cruz changed his mind because the money stopped flowing. For the last week I have been getting desperate e-mails from Ted and Heidi begging me to contribute to their campaign. I have responded by saying that since he decided to vote for TPA, I will not be sending him another dime.
Instead of making excuses for Ted, maybe you should spend some time apologizing to all the freepers you belittled on the other threads. Maybe you should admit that YOU WERE WRONG.
I almost never see that on Free Republic.
Ted Cruz is going to do the right thing, but for the wrong reason. But maybe he has learned that his friends in the elitist GOP and their corporate allies are his enemies.
And again it demonstrates that there is no perfect candidate.
I don't have any problem at all voting for someone who is right on a lot more things than he is wrong on. This includes Cruz, Walker, Perry, Jindal and probably a few others.
If that's just not good enough for you, God bless ya, but then, get used to seeing Jeb! on the ticket.
Cruz said he read TPP. I’ve never heard him discuss the other trade bills. His main objection is the apparent attempt to make a backroom deal on Ex-IM Bank in exchange for support on TPA. I still support an uncorrupted TPA, but that is apparently something we cannot get with the current Senate and House leadership.
Cruz is a modern day politician (liar, crooked, two faced, back stabbed, corporate elitist, etc). The most troubling aspect to me is how many so called conservatives in here were actually stupid enough to trust him.
