The smear machine has started on Cruz, so he's doing something right and worries the opposition, like Grover Norquist who promised to marginalize any opposition to the gang of 8 plans. He brag he already marginalized Jeff Sessions. Let Sen. Sessions know he is appreciated for his YEARS of work for conservatives on this issue.
To see David Dewhurst trying to debate Cruz was a revelation. Dewhurst is a decent guy and fairly conservative, but Texas didn’t need another old Tory in the Senate, a male version of Kaye Bailey.
Cruz has the added advantage of being correct.
God Bless America, I voted for him!
If Rubio wants to do something about the plight of his fellow Cubans that’s fine. But the people who easily come across through Mexico are from all parts of the world. I would suggest that for two years the Feds enforce, without exception, all the current laws already enacted and then let’s see where we are. And no more work visas or guest worker programs.
Those placing their bets early might have been betting on the wrong Latino Republican. We’ll have to see, but no doubt Rubio has hurt himself with many by making such a hard sell and, frankly, misrepresenting what the Gang of 8 conconction would actually do, or mostly not do when it comes to border security.
I called Rubio the Bart Stupack of the immigration debate and I’m sticking with it.
Cruz is doing something right!
If Conservative Floridians will have anything to say about it, Rubio will be a one term mistake!
Americans continue to make these mistakes that end up biting them in the ass. Some are easily rectified, but the rectum in the White Hut is one so monumental that it will take this nation decades to dig out of the rubble caused by one insignificant non-aborted bas-ard.
I support Ted Cruz on this. As for Rubio, I hope he fails.
Rubio increasingly demonstrats he’s well-meaning, but, as time will tell,ready to be co-opted. He is bound to discover there’s no short or long term advantage to taking the “bi-partisan” approach.
MONTHS ago, I called Cruz “Marco Rubio on steroids”.
It’s already clear it’ll be Rubio who is set to garner the
lion’s share o* personal gain *rom this.
If that happens, a lot of us will remember Cruz as the guy who prevented the GOP from going the way of the Whigs and I'll crawl over broken glass to vote for him.
Jeff Sessions is a wonderful, decent man, but he's too damn polite to the likes of Grover Norquist. Based on what I've seen of Ted Cruz so far, I don't think he will make the same mistake.
After the recent arrests in the Boston Bombing....I think pro-terrorist Grover Norquist has been neutered.
Those arrests of the two who violated their student visa is probably the lynchpin that stops this amnesty attempt... as now the Rubio-Obama Amnesty bill looks pro-terrorist
Well, Ted Cruz seems to be the current anti-politician - he seems to be telling the truth when all others are being politicians, what a hoot!
Could it really be that it is time to elect politicians who actually are truthful instead of being politicians (you know lying out of their ass as required).
Well, that is my initial take on this young and ambitious politician but of course because of his “brashness” (being truthful in some circles) he will probable not make it.
The reason that I think that this might change is the times we are currently in...such a bunch of lairs, cover-up artists, glib spokesmen, it is all coming together for an honest speaking and acting politician. It will happen if not this time next election.
Either Ted Cruz is the fore-runner of this group or he is just another pretender...I doubt that he is pretending.
