Oh good grief. MILLIONS of rich, middle class and poor guys give money/support to Veteran's causes. While I appreciate the money Trump has given.....I appreciate every other single American that does the same.
And Private Sector jobs? Men and Women (rich and middle class) do the same thing, day in and day out.......it's called doing BUSINESS ....and they don't expect medals or to be given the highest office in the country just because they provide jobs.
How many jobs has Cruz created
I'm not applying for a job...so I couldn't care less if Cruz runs a business or not. I'm looking for a man willing to FIGHT to preserve our liberty and protect our country.....not some dude who I think MIGHT make me rich because he's a rich man himself. If I remember correctly....the "rich guy" shtick has already been done by the GOPe....remember Romney?
and what exactly has he done for us in Texas?
What has Ted Cruz DONE FOR HIS COUNTRY? He sure wasn't sitting around building hotels/casinos, hobnobbing with Democrats/Hollywood and getting richer while the country was going to hell in a hand basket:
2000......without Cruz's help, Al Gore would have been President and old Gore would have started the destruction of the United States 8 years EARLIER than Obama did.
1999-2003 Fighting for policies that protected Americans as Director of the Office of Policy Planning at Federal Trade Commission and Associate Deputy Attorney General at Dept of Justice.
2003-2008 PROTECTING TEXANS as Solicitor General. Authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court. You can do your own research on those...but these are the bigger ones:
Cases won:
Van Orden v. Perry (religious liberty case WON)
District of Columbia v. Heller (gun rights case WON) Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Salazar v. Buono While in private practice, Cruz fought atheists who were trying to get a Veteran's memorial Cross destroyed in the Mojave Desert, pro bono for four Veteran's groups. (NOTE....Cruz was actually FIGHTING FOR VETERANS instead of just talking about it or throwing money at the problem.)
But the case that actually attracted MOST TEXANS attention was in 2008, in Medellin v. Texas. Bush and others tried to get Medellin (an illegal alien rapist/murderer) OFF DEATH ROW. They were also trying to get another 40/50 ILLEGALS ALIENS in jail for crimes..."freed" by using foreign laws like the Geneva Convention (hint, hint....they were saying Texas should have to LIVE BY FOREIGN LAWS instead of Texas/US law.) Cruz BEAT THEM.....in a 6 to 3 decision. The Supreme Court said that International Court of Justice decisions were not binding in domestic law and that the President had no power to enforce them. Would you like to compare Trump's HIRING illegals/foreigners for his businesses to Cruz FIGHTING to make sure illegal aliens paid for their crimes against Texans?
BTW, I researched Cruz BEFORE I ever voted for him to go to Washington in 2012 and I've watched him ever since. I am NOT basing my vote on "recent" hearsay or "hope" that he will do the things he says he will do on the campaign trail..... as you have to do with Trump...because Cruz has already PROVEN to me that he will fulfill his promises. The bottom line.......Cruz has EARNED my vote, as a Texan. Any other questions?
Excellent, Freeper, just excellent!
