STATEMENT FROM TED CRUZ –> SENATE PASSES OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL
TheRightScoop ^ | 12/18/15 | RightScoop

Posted on 12/18/2015 9:20:51 AM PST by gwgn02

A strong statement from Sen. Cruz who voted against the bill:

What we’ve seen in Congress today is profoundly disappointing. This spending bill does not honor the promises we made to the men and women who elected us. It funds Obamacare. It funds Planned Parenthood. It funds executive amnesty. It fails to protect our national security and stop Syrian refugees from coming to this country. It fails to do anything to stop the Iranian Nuclear Deal. And what does it do? It jacks up yet more low-skilled immigration, which will only drag down wages, kill American jobs, and hurt working men and women.

This bill is the big-government agenda of Democrats that effectively forfeits our massive Republican victories of 2014 and cements Obama’s priorities for nearly the full remainder of his term. This is the Washington Cartel in action, and it’s precisely why the American people from coast-to-coast are so volcanically frustrated.

"The entire congress and senate are scared to death of being called, "racist" if they were to vote down anything that Obemba wants.

"They may be looking forward to next year's election but I happen to think that they are simply spineless and/or are co-conspirators with the devil, Obemba.

WHAT the heck is Obemba??? I know you're saying obama, but why are you spelling it THAT way?

"I called Cruz's office myself, and got his "reasoning" for supporting it before he changed his mind."

So...., WHAT was his reasoning???
