Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday outlined a list of 10 major policy goals that the Republican Congress should pursue over the next two years, and said Republicans finally have a chance now to contrast themselves against Democrats.
“Let’s lead with a big, bold positive agenda that says to the American people, you had a referendum and you rejected the Obama agenda,” Cruz told Heritage Action on Monday. “There is a better way.”
Cruz said his list may not be possible under President Barack Obama, but warned that failing to try would mean lost elections in the future. “Not only will we not win elections, we’ll get walloped, and we’ll deserve to get walloped,” he said.
Here’s Cruz’s list:
1) “Embrace a big, positive jobs, growth and opportunity agenda.” He said that needs to include not just approval of the Keystone pipeline, but other jobs bills, including easing federal regulations.
2) “We need to do everything humanly possible to repeal Obamacare.”
Cruz said Republicans should send Obama a full repeal bill, but then also send small repeal bills to test Obama’s willingness on health care and draw a distinction between the two parties.
3) “We need to finally secure the border and stop the president’s unconstitutional amnesty.”
4) “We need to hold government accountable, and rein in judicial activism.” Cruz warned that federal judges continue to rule against state marriage laws, when those issues should be left to the states.
5) “It’s time to stop the culture of corruption.” Cruz said quick passage of the $1.1 trillion spending bill last year was an example of both parties failing to govern and failing to give Congress itself a chance to understand what was in the bill.

CRUZ or LOSE!He’s my choice. If the GOP chooses someone else, they’ll have to win without me.
I’d vote for Cruz in a heartbeat but he needs to get off his legalize the illegals kick: http://therightscoop.com/sen-ted-cruz-also-supports-temporary-legalization-status-in-the-immigration-bill/
Reminds me of Newt’s very successful “contract with America” in the 90’s. Why haven’t the Repubs tried something like that again?
“6) “We need to pass fundamental tax reform, making our tax code simply, flatter, fairer.” He said this should include one key plan: “We should abolish the IRS.””
Sweet music to my ears!!!
I will vote for Ted Cruz, early and often!!!
:-)
Cruz or Lose..It’s Time To Choose!
Because the media laughed at it and claimed it was a failure.
The Beltway Republicans believed them.
TED CRUZ FTW!
Ted Cruz is the guy we should elect President. That’s why we probably won’t.
“Newt” was clear on what he would do in the hours immediately following inauguration if he were to be elected but it’s a little too early for Senator Cruz to do that. I’m surprised Newt hasn’t endorsed Senator Cruz but it is early. Senator Cruz has many of Newt’s attributes but without the baggage.
Cruz / Palin
I would add to that the pubbies need to have a new industrial vision more powerful than that of the democrats.
the core of the industrial vision is to
1.)kill the cost of energy so that electrical production is 1/10 the cost of current cheapest coal electricity.
2.)kill the cost of desalinized water so that desalinized water is cheap enough for irrigating desert lands like california, arizona and the intermountain west.
Easy to see why so many of us love this guy!
However, are we being hypocrites after discussing birther issues and wishing for a guy who was born in Canada?
I’m asking sincerely, I love this guy, however, he was born in Canada ..... can or should he be a future president?
And how are we to accomplish those goals?
Ted Cruz is the guy we should elect President. That’s why we probably won’t.
Ted, you gotta get up and AT THEM non-stop from here on in. Show how Walker is really only interested in slaying Unions and not all the Departments and bureacracies standing in our way. No more days off.
I’ve decided I’m going to write his name in - for both the primary and the regular election.
I will NOT vote for Bush, Christie, Huckabee, Rubio, etc., so a write-in is my only other option.
I would vote for Walker, if he had Cruz on his ticket.
Damn right! It's not an issue.
No hypocrisy involved. If Obama was born in Hawaii, he's a U.S. citizen, eligible to serve as the President. And there hasn't been any evidence to the contrary.
However, if Obama had been born out of the country, his mother was too young -- under the citizenship laws then prevailing -- to confer U.S. citizenship. That is the only situation under which his citizenship can be questioned.
Cruz' mother, however, was old enough to confer citizenship. Accordingly, despite being born in Canada, Cruz was a US citizen-at-birth and his eligibility is unquestioned.
1. Too much work
2. Too conservative
3. Too easy for public to hold them accountable
4. Too many bad articles by the media
5. Too many phone calls from the public
Should I go on ..???????????????
These excuses are why you need a Cruz/Walker type of person who will not be swayed by what the public or the media has to say about them.
Ted Cruz is a true quarterback for patriotism because his balls are fully inflated. His questioning of Loretta Lynch was outstanding. Showed her for what she is.. Eric Holder in a pants suit.
