EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Predicts Impeachment of Top-Level Obama Official by GOP-Controlled Senate

“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.

Ted’s about to bring a Thor-sized hammer down... he only does BIG things.

Which Senate RATS have been completely silent recently? Those are the ones about to be brought screaming into the sunlight.

[FreeReign]

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.

No. No. No.

The left will always be motivated by the media's false narratives.

We need to do the right thing which will motivate normal people a.k.a the right. We have to quit being afraid to act.

[leapfrog0202]

Cruz gets it just like Sarah Palin. If only he can become President, we might have a hope of pulling out of the downward spiral zero’s put us in. If it’s a Hillary or someone like her, our goose is cooked.

[Pollster1]

We have to quit being afraid to act.

Agreed, but we should not telegraph our intentions. It is one thing to impeach a corrupt Attorney General and quite another to promise that if we take the Senate we will impeach the "first black" Attorney General. Impeaching Holder is a moral obligation, while threatening to do so makes it less likely that we will be able to do the right thing. We should never warn America's enemies on how we might respond to their evil.

I dunno. Say you want to flush out various critters from your house. Spray a lethal chemical all around the slab, inside and out, and observe who and what runs away, and to where.

Then go to the place those runaways scurried from. There’s your nest. Exterminate.

[Bubba_Leroy]

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

Me too. I am proud to have Cruz as my Senator. I would prefer to keep him there. He would make a fine Senate Majority Leader.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Impeaching Holder is a moral obligation, while threatening to do so makes it less likely that we will be able to do the right thing.

I agree. Don't threaten it. Just do it.

My hope is that the Republican controlled House will impeach Holder early next year, when a Republican controlled Senate is in place to convict and remove him.

“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.”

Senator Cruz is outstanding. He will be president in 2017.

[DUMBGRUNT]

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

[Pollster1]

Say you want to flush out various critters from your house.

Saying it is firing a warning shot. Warning shots should only be fired as: two in the chest, one in the head. If you can't do it right, you need to wait before giving a warning.

[txhurl]

All you Zombies show your faces
All you people in the streets
All you livin' in High Places
Rain's gonna fall on you

[Paleo Conservative]

The Senate doesn’t impeach anyone.

[sergeantdave]

“To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go”

Hell, yes, DUMBGRUNT.

[DaveA37]

Well if there is never going to be a impeachment, Cruz and others might suggest a coup. Nothing like overthrowing the gubmint to clean house.

[SoConPubbie]

The Senate doesn’t impeach anyone.

And despite what the article either implies or states, I highly doubt that someone who has memorized the US Constitution, like Ted Cruz did early in his life, would make such a stupid mistake and say that.

[txhurl]

bttt

[Nachoman]

A safe prediction from Cruz. The senate will stay in Dem control after 2014.

[sergeantdave]

This is a good start:

“Ted Cruz Predicts Impeachment of Top-Level Obama Official by GOP-Controlled Senate...”

If the mercenary FBI or Homeland Security goons object, God created militias to take of them. Yes?

[DoodleDawg]

They could already have impeached the top-level officials since they controlled the House. But of he expects the Senate to remove them then they’re currently about 22 votes short and they aren’t going to get those in November.

[Kenny Bunk]

Ted:
(1.) Don't count chickens before they're hatched.
(2.) Even if the other party (whatever you want to call it) takes the Senate you have no way to know whether or not YOU can control the RINO votes.
(3.) These threats are empty unless you (a) Win, and (b) Can enforce a GOP PROGRAM, PLAN, AND HAVE THE LEADERSHIP to put it all together and make it work.

Ted, the problem is not Democrats. One knows exactly what to expect from them. What we don't know is what exactly is on your mind.

PROGRAM
PLAN
LEADERSHIP.
