Big difference with denouncing Mandela and jumping on the bandwagon to beatify him.
And which is angering his supporters no end. Keep that up and Cruz has no place in the future.
I have a question...are so many of our leaders supposed to gather together in one spot like this? South Africa isn’t the most stable place, is it?
No thanks, Ted.
SHAME ON YOU TED!!
“Im guessing there will be other republicans going but they only want to mention Ted Cruz so the rabid idiots can scream about his ‘treason’”
Cruz is the only current Senator going, and Schock is the only other currently-serving Republican going.
GWBush and Laura are going, along with Jimmy Carter, Bill and Hillary and Barry and Michelle.
He's trying to preempt Rand Paul's major outreach to Blacks. Both of them are being silly. Unless they plan to toss $100 bills off the roofs of public housing projects, they won't win even 1% more of the Black vote.
He should have kept silent and went about his business. Mistake.
Traveling thousands of miles to pay homage to a nation wrecking communist murderer of men, woman, children is inexcusable.
Ted Cruz relates to Nelson Mandella because his [Ted Cruz’] father was a political prisoner and was tortured. The others relate to Mandella because of skin color.
Im voting Cruz in 2016!
Some of us recognize a smart political move when we see one!
Ted Cruz so far is the only potential candidate with the balls to take on the stench among both republicans and democrats that is spreading in Washington; there is no contrast any longer between the two. I am just fed up with it all and if we are going to win we all need to pull our heads out of our arses and stay cool.
If we start criticizing everything now whether it has merit or not then who is going to be left to take on the fight in the next Presidential election.
Those who are criticizing now just keep it up and we will end up with BHillary!
I'm with Ted Cruz all the way!
Senator Cruz needs to show the world he can meet with those he opposes ideologically, but good luck on pushing Ted to bend to their will.
I agree with you 100%.
Ted is making the right moves.
Go Ted.
You underestimate our armed forces and secret service.
We have people on this forum, who get every morning...slipp on thier slippers, drink their coffee and complain about things.
We need to win the Senate, guys. Ted Cruz is not going to get up there and spill venom on Mandela. It’s immaterial whether he is communist or leftist or if his wife burned people. Anyone coming out against Mandela will be the story, and that’s what Obama and company would love to see.
Then Sen Cruz should have just kept his mouth shut.
His going to the funeral is giving tacit approval to Mandela and his actions - which included being pro-abortion (among the other usual Communist beliefs).
No, I don’t. I just thought that there was some rule about this sort of thing, that’s all. I am probably not recalling correctly.
This is only the 2nd strike. The wife who's a member of the Goldman Sachs crime family is the first. Number 3 is inevitable.
OK I will give you that —two strikes.
