‘We’re Winning’: Ted Cruz on the Latest in Washington Amid the ‘Government Shutdown’
The Blaze ^ | October 3, 2013 | Erica Ritz

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) told Glenn Beck during a radio interview Thursday that conservatives are “winning” the battle in Washington over Obamacare and the “government shutdown.”

“We’re winning the debate,” the senator remarked. “That’s why they are scared and they are attacking us. The more shrill it gets, the more scared they are.”

.....“Why are they screaming so loudly? Why are they so personal? Why are they so filled with hate and fear? It’s because the American people are mobilized, are passionate and energized,” he said. “And even worse, [they] understand that Obamacare is hurting millions of Americans, and that has the left terrified out of their minds.”.....

He is right! My good FRiends here need to look real close at Boehners actions...all have been right on target. Boehner and Cruz have had a long relationship...this will work out if we stick together. There are about 70 or so solid conservatives in the house and many more leaners.

Boehner has been a disappointment on several fronts but he has the message now.

Sometimes we preach to the choir here...which is fine but I suggest we go after other targets.

I just received a letter from Madison Project PAC, which has Ted's endorsement soliciting donations.

Anyone else get this?

Good point about the RINOs...ones to watch, Burr, Colburn, Chambliss, Flake. There are others but these are the hide in the corner types.

We were winning in 1995, too, until Dole stabbed
Gingrich in the back and decided to cave.
Who was Majority whip @ the time?..
Did he do unilaterally?

Ted Cruz could be the leader we need in Washington in 2016, I hope he runs.

No but I’m getting updates from “Don’t Fund It.com” (I had signed the petition). The clock is now counting the days the government has been closed (had been counting the days until it closed). Americans can still sign the petition. It was 1.5M during his 21 hour time on the floor. It is now well over 2M.

Boehner I believe has decided NOT to run for speaker again!! I believe
he is truly trying to save the country and no longer gives a rats behind
about his career! I have been VERY surprised at his standing firm!!! I
believe he is as fed up with Obummer as WE are! The guy is a snake
and it has taken Boehner some time to learn there is no trusting this slime
ball’s word, nothing more than a backstabber and crook!!!

Seems any business with sales volume over 500K (that’s all?) is required to give to each employee.

Time to take all but $495K of your buisness underground. Do not comply.

LMAO. Sarah helps Cruz get in office, Cruz helps Sarah defeat socialism, which only proves the left was right to be deathly afraid of her all along.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) told Glenn Beck...Beck made an excellent point this morning on his show - now is the time for all those pushing for support of Cruz et al and what's happening to get on Facebook and Twitter and flood their representative's and the news organization's addresses with endorsements of what the 'pubs are doing and criticisms of Reid, Obama and the rest - hopefully there are already Tea Party communications systems at work on this - out-propaganda the MSM propaganda machines with conservative social media.....

Now you’re getting into Bill Paxton, John Boehner, Newt Gingrich, and subsequently Sandy Hume (Brit Hume’s son), history....
