Cruz's comment to the defeatists.

Cruz: ...you lose 100% of the battles that you begin by surrendering.

Amen. We need to remind the defeatists at FR of that, every day.

Very good speech and a cogent plan. I personally favor going to the mattresses and threatening to smash the debt ceiling too, but that can wait.

MY TWO CENTS……. The Affordable Care Act transforms the entire national health care system and affects all residents of the U.S., not just the 18 million who were without healthcare insurance . Obamacare is a humongous mishmash of rules and regulations and taxations that intrude and affect every aspect of our lives. The IRS may need as many as 16,000 additional auditors, agents and other employees to investigate and collect billions in new taxes from Americans. In the HR3590 summary, the words “Requires the Secretary” (of DHS) appear 98 times and “Directs the Secretary” appears 64 times. “Authorizes the Secretary” appears 30 times. The law gives a tremendous amount of power to one individual, Kathleen Sebelius, who “serves only at the will of the President” and was NOT elected by We, the People. It is Congress who makes the laws, NOT Katleen Sebelius and Not Barack Obama. The Democrat Congress passed Obamacare and gave the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) free reign to do whatever it damn well pleases. Obamacare is making determinations as to what taxes citizens are required to pay. That too is the Constitutional responsibility given to Congress. Has Congress relinquished its Constitutional responsibility when it passed Obamacare? If so, they better take it back before it’s too late. This law clearly violates the Constitution separation of powers. The Obama Administration has already handed out 111 Obamacare waivers to U.S. companies. Unfortunately, if you’re a small business or don’t have connections you can’t get a waiver for your company. And there are some select groups who are exempt (Prisoners, illegal aliens, and foreign nationals, Amish, Mennonites, Scientologists and some Muslims). Even members of Congress are exempt from the Health Care Law, the very same law that they, themselves, passed. Waivers and exemptions to certain groups of people negate equal protection under the law. It is for these reasons that this law violates the Constitution and should be overturned HR3590 has more than 2000 pages but here is a summary, only 49 pages….. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR03590:@@@D&summ2=3&

Cruz is right. “.....you lose 100% of the battles that you begin by surrendering.”

I like his fighting spirit.

“I like his fighting spirit.”

Unlike a number of surrender monkey Freepers who keep bitching and posting the norm:”America is done for”, “the GOP is full of RINO’s, let’s surrender” or “it doesn’t matter, we’re doomed, the GOP will vote Dem” etc etc..
