Ted Cruz fires back at Mitt Romney: You got 'clobbered' by Obama for a reason
MSN / The Business Insider ^ | July 30, 2015 | Colin Campbell

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn't backing off the tough rhetoric he's used to describe the Iran nuclear deal, despite criticism leveled by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday.

Cruz has steadfastly maintained that President Barack Obama's administration would become a leading state-sponsor of terror if the agreement it struck with Iran makes it past Congress. He and others have argued that Iran would use a windfall from sanctions relief to finance terror abroad.

Both Obama and Romney have called Cruz's remarks inappropriate.

Romney wrote on Twitter early Thursday that he also opposes the Iran deal, but said Cruz's comments were "way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause."

Cruz, 2016 presidential candidate, fired back at Romney in a Thursday radio interview with KFYO's Chad Hasty.

"So Mitt Romney's tweet today said, 'Gosh, this rhetoric is not helpful,'" Cruz said. "John Adams famously said, 'Facts are stubborn things.' Describing the actual facts is not using rhetoric; it is called speaking the truth."(continued)

WHADDA YOU MEAN?!?!?!?

that evil Ted blasphemed! We gotta support Mr.Abortion no matter what! It’s a lesser evil. Because when Dems do it it’s evil from hell. When a Republican does it, we have to remember Reagan’s 11th and fulsh everything we believe in.

It’s a rule.

And Ted violated that rule because he upset Romneybots. Ted is not supporting Mitt’s political intentions.

W's weakness destroyed conservatism and the GOP and empowered the liberal movement beyond belief. That guy and his p_ssy "take the high road" schtick was disastrous.

Compromise is the burden carried by those too weak to bear principle.

And the left accused Bush of being “mean-spirited”, just the same, even after he took that “high road”. I haven’t forgotten all the things they said, accusing him of “cowboy” diplomacy, etc. When you’re gonna wear the name, no matter what you do, you may as well play the game.

Cruz has found his groove again after drop kicking Mitchy Poo across the senate floor.

America needs to be led by warriors , not by politicans , lawyers and activists . The time for all these useless and corrupted election games is at an end .

Are we going to wait until we and a substantial portion of the free world has been devastated by crippling strikes ? Or are we going to take of business?
Abroad and at home . It’s time .......we cannot afford to be sheep any longer. Sheep dogs to the fore !

Yea, I'm glad to read that. He really needs to sound off like he has a pair though.
