Ted Cruz is ‘not the establishment but doesn’t need on-the-job training’

I guess the last president we had that "had to meet a payroll" was Jimmy Carter, who owned a peanut farm.

And a shelling plant.

Fact is, irtually every Democrat politician in Washington has never held a private sector job.

On the other hand, many Republican politicians (could be most) have some experience in the private sector

[FourPeas]

Very well said. It’s truly a quandary.

[FreeReign]

Ted Cruz is being rejected on FR, the premier conservative gathering place, for not being a Wall Street profiteer

Thread polls here have consistently shown that Cruz is the candidate of choice at FR.

Do you enjoy lying? You are certainly very good at it.

This election cycle nothing matters but (illegal) immigration, because if the Rats are able to legalize tens of millions of new Marxist voters we will never prevail on any other issue ever. To bad you are to dense to understand that.

[thestob]

Well Ted is just like Obama in that he is freshman senator and he never ran a business...so he will never get anything done in Washington...he will be totally ineffective and won’t get any nation altering legislation passed....

Seriously, do people even think anymore?

[SC_Pete]

I love Ted but he has never managed anything bigger than Senate staff and his checkbook. Ted is a Ferrari in intellectual debates. But right now, we need a bulldozer. The land has to be cleared and foundations reset.

And Trump says that he will deport them and then expedite the good ones back. That sounds like a touchback amnesty.

I remember in 2007 when Kay Bailey Hutchinson proposed a touchback amnesty, we here on FR called it what it was. An amnesty.

Touchback Fraud .....(Amnesty Bill:exercise in window-dressing)

And there was Mike Pence's touchback amnesty in 2006 that we all correctly trashed.

Mike Pence's Amnesty-Lite Plan

Oh, those were the days.

[conservative98]

Obama had the media and both parties covering for him, Ted won’t have that.

The land has to be cleared and foundations reset.

I don't trust Trump do redesign the solid foundation the Republic is built upon. Hell, I don't even trust him to frame out the structure above it, let alone roof it.

[FreeReign]

I was undecided, Dan Patrick whom I respect, was all in for Dewhurst so I was leaning Dewhurst. Sarah whom I greatly respect convinced me to vote Cruz. Prior to Sarah the race looked like a lesser of two evils race.

Sure. I see what you mean.

Should one vote for tea party conservative Cruz or should one vote for establishment RINO Dewhurst. What a tough choice that must have been. ///s

[Rodamala]

I have seen no Cruz Democrats

How can you when the Democrat Party has gone full out communist?

[Rodamala]

Nevermind the riffraff. You stated all we need to hear about backing a true conservative constitutional originalist... there is only one of those on the stage, and Senator Cruz has my support.

[C. Edmund Wright]

If the office of President were one of micro management administrative skill, your comment would carry weight. It is not. It is the job of a visionary. The admin details are done by others. It’s the vision that counts.

Leadership is not a resume item......

[C. Edmund Wright]

And while in government, Cruz has worked tirelessly to REDUCE IT. Meanwhile
your boy has spent a lifetime outside of government but meanwhile USING it to advance his agenda.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Don’t inconvenience some people with the truth PING:

Well, you can accuse me of lying all you want, but they were your own words, and apparently you refuse to own them.

I don't subscribe to the foolish idea that we can only work on one issue at a time. There's a God in heaven, and if you think this country will ever be brought back by dismissing social issues, you're very much mistaken.

Cruz recognizes it, while at the same time having an excellent immigration plan.

Ted Cruz has spent a lifetime fighting to defend the Constitution - our nation's founding document and the supreme law of the land - which was crafted by our founding fathers to act as chains to bind the mischief of government and to protect the liberties endowed to us by our Creator.

Religious Liberty

• Defended Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties against Obamacare’s contraception mandate.
• Led the way on several cases including a U.S. Supreme Court case that preserved the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
• Successfully defended the words "under God" in the Texas Pledge of Allegiance and Texas schools’ moment of silence law in federal district court.
• Galvanized national support for Houston pastors who had been subpoenaed by the City of Houston to provide the content of their sermons forcing the City to back down.
• Supported the right of students to display banners containing religious content at school sporting events.
• Successfully defended the constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument, winning a 5-4 landmark decision before the U.S. Supreme Court, setting an important national precedent for the right to display similar monuments.
• Fought to help the Boy Scouts of America to reverse a district court ruling barring them from leasing a public park.

Second Amendment

• Played a crucial role in preventing federal legislation to restrict the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
• Authored legislation to strengthen the Second Amendment rights of Americans by allowing interstate firearms sales.
• Led 31 states in District of Columbia v. Heller where the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a ban on firearms in a 5-4 landmark decision.
  • Honored by the National Rifle Association with a 2008 resolution for his leadership in the Heller case, which noted that his “efforts made this victory for the American people possible.”
  • Awarded the NRA’s 2010 Carter-Knight Freedom Fund, which “rewards exemplary activities in the support and protection of the right to Keep and Bear Arms” for his work in the Heller and McDonald cases.
• Argued against unreasonable and burdensome gun restrictions before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• Recognized by NRA executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre who observed, “Ted Cruz is one of our nation’s leading defenders of the Second Amendment. For over a decade, Ted has fought tirelessly to defend our constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and his leadership was absolutely critical to our major victories before the U.S. Supreme Court.”

U.S. Sovereignty

• Fought and won a landmark ruling for U.S. sovereignty in Medellin v. Texas at the U.S. Supreme Court against 90 foreign nations and the President to ensure the supremacy of U.S. legal system against encroachment by international treaties and rulings of the "World Court."
• Cosponsored a resolution urging the president not to sign the UN Arms Treaty, which would have subordinated the Second Amendments rights of American citizens to global interests.

Government Overreach

• Called for a special prosecutor to investigate the targeting of conservatives by the IRS.

I love Ted but he has never managed anything bigger than Senate staff and his checkbook.

Ted Cruz, as Solicitor General of Texas, led the office of 4,000 employees, including 700 lawyers.

During private practice at Morgan Lewis, Ted Cruz built their appellate practice to be one of the top 20 law firms on National Law Journal's "Appellate Hot List" in 2010.

"I see the cowards are already here smearing feces on the walls."

LOL

When a Cruz thread gets posted, something is triggered that makes them scream in agony and claw their keyboards.

[jpsb]

"What a tough choice that must have been."

Cruz was not tea party until Sarah endorsed him fool. A rich ivy league lawyer who wife works for Golden Sachs claiming to be tea party? Hmmmm, and Dan Patrick was making the case that Cruz was corrupt, tying him to China and the loss of US jobs. Maybe you just blindly believe what politicians tell you when trying to get elected but I don't.

You are just being arguing for the sake of arguing. Go argue with yourself. You bring nothing of merit to the discussion.
