"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.

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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[lormand]

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

[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.

[sergeantdave]

“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.

[Paleo Conservative]

The Senate doesn’t impeach anyone.

[Nachoman]

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

[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.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

God Bless you Ted, but I’ve no doubt “Maverick” McCain and his “Gang of Eight” would ride to the rescue of the “progressive (Commie)” Bastards.

[Jabba the Nutt]

"EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Predicts Impeachment of Top-Level Obama Official by GOP-Controlled Senate"...I'm sorry, that is wrong and is not what the highly informed lawyer Ted Cruz said.

"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."

The House impeaches, the Senate decides to convict or acquit. The Senate does NOT impeach, it acts as the jury, not prosecutor.

On the other hand, I'm glad Cruz is talking about impeaching AG Holder. It's been over 2 years since Congress held Holder in contempt. This has had zero impact on Holder's behavior and typically for Speaker Boehner, there's been zero energy, zero follow through and zero impact. Will Boehner allow impeachment hearings on Holder? [snort] Limp linguini have more spine than the missed name Boehner.
