“The biggest divide that we’ve got in this country is not between Republicans and Democrats; the biggest political divide we have in this country is between career politicians in Washington in both parties and the American people. As you travel the country, what you hear over and over again from men and women on the streets, they say, “What happens? We elect these people, they go to Washington, and they stop listening to us. They are not listening to us.”

 

“I think the key to turn this country around is not Washington. If you look at Washington, D.C., you’ll see nothing but hopelessness and despair. The key is the American people. I devote my time not trying to convince people in Washington- they can’t be convinced; they’re not listening. Instead, I devote my time to trying to energize and mobilize the American people because that’s the key. Ultimately, how do you unify Republicans? The American people rise up and demand that we all get back to the free-market principles and constitutional liberties this country was built on.”

Cruz reminded viewers that once, this country was similarly “down and out,” but the Carter years spurred on the “Reagan Revolution” which brought a resurgence of American greatness thanks to the inspired patriots who called for a return to the principles that made America great. 

“We saw a grassroots movement sweep the country- millions of men and women who became the Reagan Revolution. It didn’t come from Washington; Washington despised Ronald Reagan. It came from the American people. It swept in in 1980, it turned this country around, it brought back economic growth and booming opportunity and we defeated the Soviet Union and we tore down the Berlin Wall…. At the end of the day, sovereignty is not in Washington, D.C.; sovereignty lies with ‘We the people.’ So you want to unify Republicans? Focus on the American people and energizing the American people.” 

Sen. Cruz remains highly popular with the grassroots base of conservative politics. However, many Republican elites and moderates label his brand of leadership as “too extreme” and blame such bold positions as the cause of Congressional congestion.

 

However, Tea Party leaders like Sens. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul have endeared themselves to the base of the Republican Party not by cozying to the Washington elites, but by fighting for a dramatic shift in policy centered on the will of the people. 

“God bless the Tea Party,” Sen. Cruz exclaimed. “I think the Tea Party is the most exciting thing to happen to politics in modern times. It’s an organic movement, as you know well, of millions of men and women all across this country who woke up and said, “What is happening to our country?” And I am convinced what will bring the Republicans back to the principles we should’ve been standing for in the first place is the Tea Party and the millions of Americans demanding that we get back to the commonsense, conservative principles this country is built on.” 

Sen. Cruz pulled no punches as he candidly laid-out what we are fighting for. “Any meaningful battle is not one in a single skirmish. What we’re fighting for matters. What we are fighting for is quite literally, “Does America remain the last best hope for mankind?”

 

Sen. Cruz continued on, blasting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and reminding Tea Partiers to get involved in politics, as frustrating as it may be, because “we have an opportunity to retire Harry Reid” as Senate Majority Leader.

 

In a dramatic departure from the typical Washington lawmaker, Cruz begged for citizens to hold their elected leaders accountable, including himself. 

“Hold me accountable! Scottie, if you ever see me go to Washington and abandon the free-market principles and Constitutional liberties that this country was built on, play this clip back at me and say, ‘Ted, you said, “Hold me accountable.”’ I ask 26 million Texans to hold me accountable every day, that I do what I said I would do and tell the truth. Hold all of us accountable!” 

Hughes questioned Cruz on whether a Republican-controlled Senate would be able and willing to move forward with impeachment proceedings for President Obama over a variety of illegal acts committed by the Commander-in-Chief. Cruz noted that it’s not likely that Americans will see an impeachment of Barack Obama, but that we may see an impeachment of one of the nation’s top-criminals and, ironically, one of the top law enforcers: Attorney General Eric Holder. 

“I do think there’s a real possibility that we will see Eric Holder impeached. Eric Holder, the attorney general, has led the most partisan Justice Department in the history of our country and the scandal of the IRS targeting citizens for their political beliefs, going after our Constitutional rights, is an outrage. And, sadly, Eric Holder has thumbed his nose at the administration of Justice.” 

Cruz pointed to the repeated refusals by Holder to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate shady campaign finance dealings related to the Obama Administration and other Democrat lawmakers as a possible cause for impeachment.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I’d rather it be Ubama, but I’ll settle for USAG Derrick Holden.

[VRWC For Truth]

They better dump McCornhole. That KY DemocRat is bad news.

I think the American public has had enough of illegal immigration. Many citizens are out of work. There is little prospects for good jobs opening up. This is the time to run on that issue.

As much as I might like to see impeachment of upper level Obama Administration officials, I do not think that is the issue to run on. I could very well be wrong, but my take on it is that these impeachment(s) would not be as popular with everyone as ending illegal immigration would be.

[drypowder]

As well, the Bonehead must go or nothing close to enforcing the law and holding anyone in this regime responsible for their crimes will materialize

[Little Ray]

Really?
Last time I checked the House impeached officials. The Senate convicted them. Or, actually, didn’t convict them.
And, unless the ‘Pubbies can get some Democrat votes (fat chance!) the Senate is not convicting anybody, ‘Pubbie majority or not.

[Pollster1]

I like Cruz - a lot - but he should not be making such predictions. We don’t want to do anything that will motivate the low-information voters to show up. The more ballots the fraud professionals have to manufacture, the more likely they are to fail and allow honest elections. Don’t do anything that will motivate the far left fringe, especially mentioning impeachment. Holder, Obama, and many others deserve it, but we should not discuss it until we actually have enough honest votes to make it worth trying.

[dsrtsage]

Ted Cruz must be some kind of racist or something

[TexasCajun]

The author throws Rand Paul in with Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.

Rand Paul should not be mentioned in the same sentence!

[Old Yeller]

How about imprisonment?

[SoFloFreeper]

The Senate cannot impeach.

I don’t think Cruz is that dumb.

[Cen-Tejas]

............hopefully it will involve some orange suit time for the sob!

[stilloftyhenight]

Agree 1000%. Paul has shown himself to be a putz, all too willing to jump in bed with the RiNOs.

[workerbee]

The American people rise up and demand that we all get back to the free-market principles and constitutional liberties this country was built on.”

This is what the GOP-e calls "too extreme" and "a bold position."

Worthless, gutless, suck-up cowards, every one.

Cruz pointed to the repeated refusals by Holder to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate shady campaign finance dealings related to the Obama Administration *******and other Democrat lawmakers *******as a possible cause for impeachment.

VERY interesting. So far, the IRS Fascisto-attack has not involved any congressRATS.

WHO might these RAT lawmakers be, I wonder? Cruz sort of implies RICO-type collusion, does he not?

[gov_bean_ counter]

One may be required to accomplish the other...

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Ted Cruz—Make it happen! Lets give the GOP complete control over the Senate and House—and don’t stop there—the state houses, the state assemblies, the Governor’s Mansions too. Punish the Democrats for forcing Obama and his motley crew down our necks! Impeach Holder! Impeach Biden! Jail Lois Learner—and Lastly, get the goods on Obama and impeach him too!

[lormand]

I’m giddy knowing that I voted for Cruz...best vote since my last vote for Reagan in 84’

[txhurl]

Besides Dingy Harry.
