My Ted Cruz friends– the question is– How would Senator Cruz react to this mindless vitriol unleashed here on FR by some who are merely hateful nativists; racists; ignorant; spiteful; vengeful; adversaries; liberals or simply misinformed?
Sen. Cruz would patiently articulate doctrinaire conservatism. Now, we must also be patient. There are some on the Board who simply do not have the IQ quotient to comprehend ideological conservatism- and they don’t even realize, that they are now the tools of the unions, the Warrens and the Schumers. .
Sen. Cruz will be the Republican nominee. Why? Because, even on this issue, we see he is the focus of this entire debate– not just on FR— but everywhere. It’s not Walker or Rubio or Bush— it’s Mr. Conservative, Ted Cruz. They all know that he’s the one they have to beat– and he’s the one they can’t beat.
As for these little girls who now spout eternal hatred —as if they’re boyfriend forgot to call on time— they will ultimately realize that Ted Cruz is loyal to the core, the best that there is. They will realize that he is the ONE man, who can restore a limited gov’t, constitutional America.
For the time being, cut them some slack— they’re just emotional and not thinking clearly.
I’m going to really enjoy watching the candidates get torn down one by one.
VinL....God bless you. That was one of, if not the most, intelligent posts I have read all day....maybe all week. Thank you.
However, I will not cut them ANY slack....these small brained people are reckless and vicious.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz REMAINS the only true Conservative in this race.
if he would have backed down under pressure i would have been disappointed.
here is how these trade treaties work (Cruz called TPP a treaty) listen to the whole audio. So i won’t know be able to choose where i decide my pants or my food comes from. well yes i do. pants not so much but food from china. origin here, processed (contaminated) in China, reshipped back here. you bet cha Ted.
WTO Rules Against Country-of-Origin Labeling on Meat in U.S.
By James Andrews | October 21, 2014
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has ruled in favor of Canada and Mexico in an ongoing dispute with the United States over country-of-origin labeling (COOL) on meat.
The latest U.S. labeling rules, put into effect in 2013, require meat sold in grocery stores to indicate the country, or countries, where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered.
According to a WTO report released on Monday, the labeling rules unfairly discriminate against meat imports and give the advantage to domestic meat products. But the WTO compliance panel also found that the labels do provide U.S. consumers with information on the origin of their food, countering Canada and Mexico’s assertion that the labels do not serve their intended purpose.
Back in November 2013, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that the WTO should have the final say on COOL, suggesting that the U.S. might give in to whatever the WTO compliance panel determined.
This is the second time the WTO has ruled against the U.S. in this dispute. After passing mandatory COOL rules in 2008, the U.S. amended COOL in 2012 following an earlier WTO ruling against them.
The Canadian cattle and hog industries say that COOL has cost them combined losses of more than $900 million USD. If the COOL rules persist, the Canadian government has threatened to place tariffs on U.S. meat imports, along with products such as wine, potatoes and orange juice.
The U.S. beef industry has strongly opposed COOL, while organizations representing consumers say that grocery shoppers deserve to know where their meat originates.
I tried to catch up to listen to the audio from Mark Levin the other day who seems to be talking about this all week.
I now realize Cruz is telling the truth. There is probably some truth to what Sessions is saying but it may be biased by what Levin calls too much of a protectionist stance.
While Levin agrees with Sessions on his “No” vote on TPA, Levin made it clear in the 10 June Broadcast (First 20 minutes) that quote “Sessions is too much of a protectionist for him...and that Levin as always been a true free trade person...and that the Union thugs just happen to be on the right side of this issue but for entirely the wrong reason”.
Levin’s biggest issue is that this is being taken up now. The 2 things he wants are the release of the text of TPP and for the GOP to wait until King Obozo is out of office.
We know Cruz wants the text of TPP to be released also and has not taken a side on it. We also know that Cruz’s reason for wanting TPA now is because of what happened in the House yesterday. Even when the details of TPP are disclosed, the combination of the leftist-backing Union Thugs and Protectionists in Congress will prevent TPA from passing. The Democratic Party is so far left now and beholden to the Unions that even with a Marxist in office, they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for TPA. Should Cruz or any Republican become President, it’s clear there is 0% chance they could get TPA passed because the Dems will vote as a block against it and the Protectionists will join them and stifle any legitimate free trade deals.
Let me repeat that for many here: Levin likes Sessions stance on TPA, but does NOT believe it is based on his same reasoning and that their may be hints of protectionism in his support.
Go to the Levin Podcasts for 10 June and 11 June.
i will be sure to be offended every time you post. You could have made your point without ridicule. In fact, you lost your point by being contemptuous. Talk about a little girl throwing a hissy fit.
I oppose this just like I oppose absolutely everything Obama touches. nothing good can come of his involvement, no matter how seemingly worthwhile.
Cruz missed the most salient issue. Obama is not to be trusted, anytime, anywhere with anything.
One more thing, depending on the Democrats to carry our water - as in being part of a simple majority to defeat TPP - is a fool’s errand. The worse it is the better Dems like it.
This is war, not a parlor game.
I have to admit that I am enjoying this. I knew he was not the person he tries to be. He is a disaster and I knew it. I have good judgment for the most part. Of course I still think Governor Walker is the guy to win and fix our country because although he is running his mouth, he is not voting on this monstrosity.
