Ted Cruz Was Fearless Yesterday

Last night in Georgia, Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% spoke to the delegates at the Georgia Republican Convention.

Regular readers of RedState know that the Speaker of the House in Georgia, collaborating with gay rights activists, left-wing Democrats, and big business, scuttled a state version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Action in exchange for Democrat votes on a billion dollar tax increase.

If conservatives wanted RFRA passed in Georgia, the Speaker demanded they gut the legislation with “anti-discrimination” language that would actually expand protected classes in Georgia for the left.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% spoke last night and he called B.S. on the antics. He pointed to Indiana and Arkansas and assailed Republicans for hiding from the fight against the Democrat-Big Business coalition.

I’m told it did not go over well with Republican leaders, but it went over very well with the base of the party, which this afternoon is expected to endorse exactly what Cruz called for — real religious liberty protections.

Good for the Senator.

Thank you. I expected him to be passionate and verbal about his conservatism.

It's best to hear it from someone you trust, and you know I trust you since we go back for a while of FR.

They do NOT care about citizenship, just our jobs and benefits. Have dealt with hundreds in justice system and had to warn them conviction = no citizenship. Not one cared

I believe you.

However, while the citizenship is not that important to the illegals, it is extremely important to the Democrats, Progressives, Marxists, and Communists as they are an extremely easily controlled section of the electorate as all they think about is what free stuff they can get from the Government.

With respect to the GOP-E, and the Chamber of Commerce, mostly they just want to line their pockets while lying to us about how conservative they are.

I agree with you. Only the power stucture benefits from excessive immigration.

Hope they win.

Way to go, Senator Cruz! Thanks.
