Ted Cruz..wow!

[Gadawg73]

How can Republicans defund Obamacare? Even if by some miracle they had the votes in the Senate, and they don't, Obama could simply veto the bill and there are not the 2/3rds vote to over ride the veto.
Americans are simpleton dumbasses these days be they Democrat or Republican.
Makes NO sense politically for Republicans but most things Democrats and Republicans do these days makes no sense. Common sense is not so common these days.
Larger problem is these days NOT ONE of the party loyalists here have a clue or understanding of the Constitution.

 

[Gadawg73]

Republicans are beyond stupid on this and I am as anti Obama as anyone.
GOP has no fucking clue how to fight political battles. They are a milk weak sissy ass party as of now to allow the Democrats to beat them.
Washington was outgunned and far out resourced by the British. He stayed out of most battles and picked his battles carefully.
These days the GOP loyalists listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity for their marching orders and have been getting their asses handed to them.

Ted Cruz has done a great job ever since being elected.

...

what exactly has he done that is in the job description?

note: this should be entertaining.

...

He did many great things as Texas Soliciter General, here are just some,

Cruz has authored more than 80 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court. Cruz's record of having argued before the Supreme Court nine times is more than any practicing lawyer in Texas or any current member of Congress.

In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the constitutionality of Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5-4 in Van Orden v. Perry.

Cruz authored a U.S. Supreme Court brief for all 50 states successfully defending the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools, winning 9-0 in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow.

Cruz served as lead counsel for the state and successfully defended the multiple litigation challenges to the 2003 Texas congressional redistricting plan in state and federal district courts and before the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5-4 in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry.

Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.

Cruz has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America by The National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America, and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century.



It is pretty obvious why he made an ass out of Dickhead Durbin when challenged during the filibuster. John McCain and Chuck Schumer were too big of cowards to confront him while on the floor, they waited until after cuz they new Cruz would hand their asses to them.

He's been part of a successful filibuster of the Manchin-Toomey amendment, not afraid to oppose same sex marriage, unapologetic in his pro-life view, not afraid to take on members in his own party. His dedication to opposition of Obamacare and organizing ad campaigns to get more people to oppose it has been a success. Cruz has put pro Obamacare Dems and Repubs in the spotlight which will be catastrophic for them in 2014. He has been a big part in waking up Americans that there's something wrong in DC and in both parties.


Anyone who makes enemies of John McCain, George W. Bush, Daine Feinstein, the Democrats, establishment Republicans, the media and even has establishment backstabbing Republicans handing Chris Wallace and others opposition research on Cruz......the man must be doing something great, like looking out for America and having enough of corrupt, inside the beltway politics.

Cruz is highly intelligent and calculating, he has a proven record. The best is yet to come from him. The command, attention and shaking things up the way he has in less than a year in the senate...he's been great. There is a real good reason why all these America-haters are ganging up on him, they know his high intelligence, his past great accomplishments, they don't want to see him continue that greatness. They don't want to see business as usual, wink-wink, nod-nod in DC be disrupted.

Cruz's resume is kick ass.

Want some fun on how much he's pissing off the left?

Ted Cruz has done a great job ever since being elected. He is a man who stands by his convictions and beliefs. What Cruz did today showed his character, toughness, smarts and relentlessness. The socialist movement (and they're in both parties), never gives up until they win. This is why Ted Cruz strikes fear in them, he has the same tenacity they do, and he's gradually gaining support. Ted comes across as warm, passionate and caring, and is articulate, this is a person who I believe has what to takes to win over more Democrat voters than many might believe - it isn't just libertarians and conservatives that are against Obamacare.

What Cruz did today was courageous, he went into battle against all odds knowing his chances of victory on this are slim. Where Cruz did win is he flushed out the establishment Republicans who talked a big game about being against Obamacare, but when it came time to walk the walk, these establishment types showed their true colors. Well, Ted just gave the primary candidates excellent attacking points to use against:

Mitch McConjob, (pictured below)

Bad news for Mitch, Democrats would rather face him than his primary rival, Matt Bevin:

Democrats, for once, are rooting for McConnell in Senate primary - The Hill - covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill | TheHill.com

And for good reason....Mitch is trailing Democrat, Alison Grimes in the polls 45-44. Mitch is one of the America-haters who has undermined Cruz's attempt to defund Obamacare, primary opponent Bevin now has a great thing to use against McConjob. Mitch is done.


Lyndsey Graham (pictured below - notice his true color):

Graham is another conspirator with McConjob. Graham is up for election in 2014 as well. Graham's approval rating in S.C. has dropped from 71% to 47%, he could be primaried out, too. John Cornyn might have cost himself in the primary as well by going along with dumb and dumber.

Cruz did a a great job of hammering it home that our government is not listening to Americans. When you have Democrats hating on Cruz, establishment Republicans undermining him, and racists in the media like Wolf Blitzer running "Everyone hates Ted Cruz" segments, Cruz is doing something right and you can see the panic increasing as they see the abilities and determination Cruz has.

we need more Ted Cruzs

currently the right has as nasty infestation of progressives

as the democrats do

This needs to be tagged for the ages. It's brave to tell people the senate should do what the senate cannot do.
