On Tuesday, Senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz (R-TX) had this to say about Obama’s deal with Iran:
“If this deal is consummated, it will make the Obama administration the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism. Billions of dollars under the control of this administration will flow into the hands of jihadists who will use that money to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans.”
Not much to argue about, right? So you’d think a “severe conservative” like Mitt Romney would support Cruz for taking a strong conservative stand against the nuclear ambitions of a terrorist nation.
Well… while the former Republican presidential candidate says he’s opposed to the Iran deal, he is attacking the current presidential candidate for his criticism of the agreement.
I am opposed to the Iran deal, but @SenTedCruz is way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause.

Maybe Mittens should spend a few of his millions to buy a clue.
In a recent CNN interview, National Security Adviser Susan Rice admitted the Obama deal will give Iran access to up to $150 billion to spend as it wishes and would do nothing to stop the Islamic Republic from sending windfalls to its terrorist comrades in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and throughout the Middle East, North Africa and perhaps even the Americas.
Of course, attacking Conservatives is nothing new for Romney as we witnessed during the 2014 mid-term elections when he campaigned extensively against T.E.A. Party and other conservative Republicans. He also expressed support for fellow Gutless On Principles (GOP) Hall of Shame member Chris Christie for president, saying that the New Jersey governor could “save our party” because of his ability to reach across the aisle and act like—I’m sorry, work with—the Democrats.
Romney, just like McCain before him, continues to prove that there’s a difference between saying you’re a Conservative and actually being one. As for his criticism of Cruz is concerned, Ted should consider that an endorsement.
By the way, Ted has already responded to Romney’s comments, saying that it proves why he “got clobbered” by Obama in 2012.
Well said, Mr. Cruz. Well said.

Ted Cruz Ping! FUMR
Milt is being severely conservative again.
Of course, Mitt damned near endorsed Obama while running against (with) him.
Romney hurts the GOP! Who died and made him King-Maker?
My dog was right! He told me not to vote for Mitt.
And now most of the same conservatives who were conned by lifelong Liberal Romney are being conned by lifelong Liberal Trump.
so, you got us Obama....... your dog’s fault
(what kind of a fool thinks a dog can talk)
Who’s the idiot on the far right laughing like a jackass??
>>Who died and made him King-Maker?
Maybee it bee one of the duties of beeing Bishop of the hive on Planet Kolob?
Or he just has royal jelly in his magic undies, again.
No, no, it’s severe TO conservatives.
Weeeel. All this time I’ve taken some of the criticisms of Romney by Freepers as over the top. I thought that although a loser, at least he was a decent man. Wrong! If he badmouths Cruz in favor of Obunga, he’s not a good person. My guess is that he’s jumped into the BUSHES.....if you get my drift.
Perry, Romney, Kasich, Christie, all the rest of them, simply do not have a clue-or more likely do not want to have a clue. Trump is demonstrating daily what the people want and these clowns persists in reading from a script prepared for them by their media advisers who tell them that the people want politicians to work together and get things done.
I don't want the likes of Perry to get anything done with Barack Obama or his likes in Congress, I want a Paladin, a champion who will fight for some cause other than K St. I do not want Trump, he remains the wrong messenger with the right message, but his appeal is obvious and it should be obvious to people like Romney and Perry.
So Ted Cruz remains stuck at 4% or 5% in the polls and even risks not making the cut off into the top tier. In Ted Cruz we have a true conservative fighting the fight every day on our behalf in Congress sticking his neck out, deploying his considerable talents to expose the left, today it is Kerry yesterday it was McConnell, while Trump struts from event to event making less and less coherent sense, lurching from one ideological position to another but drawing mindless praise from conservatives who should know better.
Mitt Romney is proving he’s no nice guy...just another narcissistic liberal hiding behind the R
Never forget Romney with that stupid grin on his face when Candy Crowley and Obama tagged teamed him out of the debate and the election.
“while Trump struts from event to event making less and less coherent sense, lurching from one ideological position to another but drawing mindless praise from conservatives who should know better”
No he isn’t. Read Trump’s book “Time to Get Tough” and then get back to us about that “less and less coherent sense” part you wrote above.
That guy on the right (Salvatore DiMasi) is in federal prison until 2018. Third speaker in a row from that state to be indicted. Mitt’s hot tub pal, no doubt.
